Fantastic weekend, haven’t had so much fun in a long time.. Good to see you made it home to James...

Troy BIG THANKYOU for your driver Training help you got me out there and pushing a little and damn was it fun... We wont mention anything outside of the track besides it being an awesome night... thanx again to all that came up and made it such a good weekend...

Hehe - nearly didn't make it.

Apparently in Soviet Russia, 1/2 a tank means 'empty'. Stupid car - big thanks to Mike Lowery and Bris for picking up some more potato vodka to get the chunky Russki on his way again.

I'm going to have a little nap now - but will post photos this evening.

Wonder if Aaron has woken up yet...

Great weekend and big thanks to all involved. Good to meet several new people and consume a fair amount of alcohol also! I have a few pics from the drive up and Friday practice I will post up once the number plats have been suitably disguised.

Very cold weather but awesome company

Massive thanks to Snowy for driving me there and back also, much appreciated mate :lock:

I would like to add most memorable moment for me was Snowy and I heading for the bottle shop on foot from the pub carpark only to hear this sound similar to that of a car at a world rally round. We looked behind us back down this alley between the pub and the bottleshop to see Blaise in his WRX going side ways accross the pub car park without the use of a handbrake followed by a plume of dust and stones. ;);)

'She'll travel half a hectare on a single can of kerosene' - I must have forgotton to put it in H.

Top SAU form as always. A great weekend ;)

Well that was another great weekend away.

It's not been really spoken of yet but the actual track stuff was great too.

Good work by some of the newbie's - William and Mavric. Matt if you can learn to drive like your teacher in Brisby then we'll all have plently of entertainment to watch in the future.

Was happy to help Blaise get the new WRX Club SM club track record by towing him along. Also since I let my co-driver for Dutton have a number of sessions of the weekend in my car was pretty good to see at the end of it we both recorded the same fastest time for the weekend! For me that was 4.5s faster than my previous best there.

Hopefully even more to come after the new springs go in on Wed. But fark me Frank was fast. And it was damn funny to look at Aaron after his session in Franks car. He was struggling to get a cigarette out of the packet as his hands were shacking! LOL. But I'm lucky the sessions of these boys in their co-drivers cars don't count else my finishing spot would be dropped from 2nd to 4th!

Oh - and speaking of co-drivers - 2 WRX boys are also doing Dutton next week. At the end of the day one of the co-drivers took the car for a drive and tried to keep pace with Blaise. Bad idea.

But once the sun went down the shenannigans were typicially brilliant. Benallia Wang Bangers are going to be a long term problem I can foresee.

Anyways.... time to re-group and think about Dutton next weekend.

Bring it on.

Oh yeah - the racing.

Sorry, was too busy freezing my ass off waiting for something to happen so I could wave a flag.

Smaugy looked much faster out there - very smooth too.

Some of those WRX boys push it pretty hard. They all sit on 3-wheels through the 'boobs' (especially the Evo VIII) and Mr Heskin LOVES his late brake points :)

Was a bit disappointed by the MX5s - but best sound of the day was a draw between the DC5 ITR and the M3. Love that NA snarl :D

Rahn, Go - Get to the Choppah!

Awesome weekend guys.

Had a great time and it was fantastic to have some new people along. - Hope you all had fun!!

Hopefully Aaron made it back from Benalia safely after we all left him in bed on Sunday morning.

It's also great we now have a substitute Wang drink (thanks to James) for when there is no Taco Bill margharitas nearby

:D

Only 3 days to recover for Dutton - its going to be a big week I feel.

Accomodation: Bec, were you able to get onto the Vic Hotel?

    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.    
    • who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!
    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
