I completely understand the reasoning for the implementation of the gymhana style event, and completely agree with it. I think it's a great idea to try to even the playing field :)

The RTDC guys ran the event extremely well and there are no complaints from me. As mentioned on the day, there were twice as many runs on the day compared to the Toyota Nationals motorkhana that is run locally.

It's great that you are checking in to the timing, who knows, maybe Eric did have an appauling run which put me in front of him on the board :P , but in the event that there has been a mix up, would be great to see the SAU team in front of the Evo's hehe ^_^

I had to LOL at the fastest HSV club driver being a female in a Ford Focus :D

I get LOL that it's a focus but why does the fact she's female have anything to do with it. No different to anyone else with 2 arms and 2 legs when it comes to getting in a car.

For me it makes no difference, I know a few girls that could easy out drive most of the guys I know ( me included ), but how do the big V8 men feel about been beating by a girl in a 4 banger Ford Focus, especially given she entered through the HSV club :)

Well it was the smartest move they made, cause the other boats didn't stand a chance! :D

We should have entered a field of Micras, pulsars and the Leaf :P

No complaints about the event here either, it was run fantastically, and even though I got the feeling that it was a bit like a duck on water (calm on the surface, crazy as shit under the surface), RTDC held it all together and made it happen.

Don't confuse being challenged with having a whinge! Was it challengingly tight compared to the size of our texis? Yes. But who doesn't like a challenge in Motorsport!

its harder for men to drive due to the dick and balls getting in the way

especially when rocking a 6 point harness....

I agree. I think it's great to have tight texi courses like this in one of the rounds. I mean surely the idea of the nationals is to see how the best drivers are, not just who had the most HP.

The thing I also liked about our lads efforts was that sure the track didn't suit us but we still gave it 110% to do the best we possibly could. I saw too many cars from certain other clubs just give up entirely and drive off the track on heaps of runs. Even if we don't move up from where we are now I think we can be extremely proud of our effort and our result

Congratulations to all in SAU who competed in this here Round 1.

Thanks also to Nulon for putting on a competition that makes us do our best in tight conditions on the Texi course.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
