spectators are free, you may get questioned by security on the gate, general rule is to mention you're there for the club hosting the day(this case Alfa) or associated club and they'll let you in.

Good day out for some, seemed to be a fair few people needing recovery. SAU was well represented too but at least nothing major.

Decent turn out as per the last few rounds, even with the short notice. Will do the spreadsheet later, let me know if I missed anyone or mucked up groupings.

I only got 1 session in before my gearbox started locking me out of 5th and 6th!!! The only option was to short-shift 4th so much it was like I was skipping it, but then I could at least keep it in 5th for the entirety of the straight. This hurt my top speed badly...

I didn't let that deter me though. I had an awesome time and from my first session ever on Sandown at 1:33.01, despite the gearbox problem, I managed to get back within 0.4s so I'm pleased with my progression on the track, just bummed the times don't provide the evidence!

Great to meet some of you. Looking forward to the next one already.

      R32 goes out in right curves

      That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
