Julz, There talking about SAUWA Club membership. You don't need to be a member to come to this cruise, but if you'd like to join the club then there is a link from the WA Section.
Yeah, pretty sure you only need the fan, don't have to have the heater. If your going to do the bypass then make sure you purge the heater core of fluid first, else it will keep leaking for ages.
The cover will come off easily, there are 3 bolts for the CAS, and about 3 other bolts for the cover. It can be a little bit fiddly getting to the bottom bolt as the fan get's in the way, but can be done.
Take the timing cover off, if there's any rubber dust from your timing belt then it's probably rubbing. Make sure to mark you CAS before taking off the cover.
Replacing a heater core is damn expensive, as the labour to get it in and out will cost a fortune. Either do it yourself, or do what I did and bypass the heater core and purge it of liquid. Means you'll have no heating though
I think the cruise is for SAUWA members and SAU forum members, so if your on here and own a Cefiro/Stagea/Jap Import then your welcome, but we don't want other clubs to be invited, as big cruise attract alot of attention
If you don't planning on running around Wanneroo or competing in events outside of AHG then best to stick with AASA, but then again I'd highly recommend doing the track days at Wanneroo with No Limit's, best fun ever
I think AFARCC is the most cost effective way to join a CAMS Affiliated Club, but in order to join you will need to attend one of there monthly meetings.
No Limits is a good option too, but in order to join you need to participate in one of there events.
