Hey guys,

Slip mentioned that the basic membership would be around $15, but that there would be a more expensive option with shirts etc.

What I would like to know is who here is keen for the expensive option, I know I am?!

Also would there be a yearly fee as well, or a once off payment.

I know that as long as I got dicounts, stickers and shirts, jumpers and the like, I would be willing to pay a lot more.

Anyway it's great to see it going ahead, a big thanks to Slip and others for doing so much work.

If you ever need a place to crash on the Sunnny Coast let me know.

Cheers,

Tim

where on the sunny coast? i just moved to brissy from there, 11years at currimundi.

Yes the membership will be a yearly fee from the time you become a member. cheap though, if you use your bob jane card just once, you'll come out on top.

I have just thought of another membership option which i will voice at our next executive meeting (1 week away) and tell you all about after that.

Slip,

I normally live up Maleny way, but for the next few weeks housesitting in Yandina (bit of a hole but I have a pool and bbq so all good).

Still the offer is open, if you guys/girls need a place to stay, let me know, I can cook a mean steak :D

Cheers,

Tim

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN

HOUSE PARTY!!!!

well, the idea i was thinking is that there should just be a basic membership fee that is paid every year... could be $15-$20, this would get you your SAU membership that would entitle you to discounts at sponsors, and cheaper prices for any events we hold.

For the people that want more, we should have some official SAU merchandise that members can purchase... so stickers, stubby holders, clothing, key rings etc.

I think too that asking $20 for just a membership and nothing else is very reasonable.. the club will need funds for printing flyers, running events, business registration, cams affiliation etc etc and its not fair that a few members (ie slip and friends) should have to fork out the cash.

Any extra money will always go back into members anyway... so no one will miss out.

just my 2 c :)

also..... I think we should ask prank if we can have someone that runs the qld members section of the website (im putting my hand up if u need!)... we can then get photos of cruises, member profiles etc happening... and i know prank is a busy man...

dave :D

Dave,

I think that makes a lot of sense. The same price for membership $20-30 and then have merchandise for sale.

Also since someone will have to cough up money for the mechandise initially, you might want to offer some kind of pre-payment plan to get a bit of float to work with. That way you can order in bulk and save, as well as having money without dipping into your own cash.

Also have you discussed about doing bulk buys with the rest of the states, then getting them customised/embroided cheaply for each state? Or even just SAU mechandise, not state specific?

Anyhooo, whatever happens is cool with me, I hate shopping so SAU - QLD merchnadise is gonna be great for chrissy presents. :uh-huh: And it means I can buy clothes that I like, not some crappy surf shit :D

**EDIT** Oh and that poll was done by me Boxcar.

    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
