Hi girls

Thought I'd get your attention!

As you know our girls cruise was a success.

The topics I raised about are slowly going into action.

I just want feedback of what the majority think about these ideas.

My plans for starting a girls car club for sydney??

Yes, that's a definate. My final decision?

PRETTY MOTORSPORTS

I'm looking into designing shirts & stickers.

Shirts in brief description:

pretty motorsports - on the front of our shirts

& in small print - P.M.S Racing on the bottom left of the back of

our shirts. Still need someone to design our logo & font.

But yes everything is in the process. Once everything is organised

I will hold another cruise so we can meet up & discuss these plans.

Anyone know of anybody who can design, please get in contact with

me. Much appreciated!

Cheers!

The name sounds a bit gay to me.

Why not just branch off to the already running and successful female car clubs around the country?

Two that come to mind at chictorque and drivnbyheels... I think it's spelt. I know DBH are in QLD and WA... not sure what other states.

But from all reports I've heard, girl "car" clubs dont seem to function too well, hence my reason for steering clear of them.

Female clubs compaired to male clubs just seem to be so much more competitive and selfish.

They always like to think they are better than others and above everyone.

Just my opinion and perception of the current female clubs that exist that I've experienced/heard from a source close to the centre of it all.

Everyones not the same and I wish you luck in forming an all female club and I hope your club doesn't fall victim to the same attitudes of other dedicated female only clubs.

LMAO, I know of some pretty competetive petty and selfish MALE car clubs, your club would have to be pretty damn bad to match them.

Comes down to your members, I guess, and how you deal with certain situations.

All power to you and the best of luck. You're going to need it.

If my memory is working I remember when you joined CT and the stir you caused ... while I wish you luck you may need a better out look on things for it to work.

CT and DBH are both going reasonably well but I'm sure both have had their hiccups.

I've said it before and I'll say it again I'm not sure how an all girls club will work ... chicks are bitches ... fullstop.

    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!  
    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
    • I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
