BTW as it is a WRX event are SAU using it as a drive to get people in to track days?

Late start trundle out around 10ish, get 30 mins back when crossing the border. Speaking of which, fuel cheaper in SA or Vic side?

um, not sure what RRG would say about being front of shop for http://www.racedeal.com

looking at the entry list, would have loved to have been another Silvia entry - ah work

Strange that everyone running at PI since resurface has mentionef how abrasive it is. They will have known, perhaps discussed and agreed to run risk instead of bespoke RnD for one round only.

I'm down for work on both 2nd and 9th though as I'm doing a mate a favour covering the 2nd, maybe I'll push him to return the favour for the 9th now I've realised both dates are impacted. Will be at the Nats though.

Appreciate Robert has purchased his but if anyone is still interested, this was the articleBlowing_the_Lid_Off.pdf

I still use external GPS and free Racechrono phone software - just moved to the modern Android version which now exports all data to the csv files (not just laps as per nokia version). Therefore makes it a easy to sync data to video at takeoff.

My lanyard/sticker arrived today thanks

Surprised you've still got it, was expecting someone to have grabbed it prior - PM sent. Now just to work out piston removal without an air gun

okay so I'm used to having to maintain the pins on a sliding caliper to avoid uneven inner/outer pad wear. I'm now up for changing pads for the first time on R33 GTR Brembo calipers and I've noticed the outer pads are around 2mm while the inners are 5mm, otherwise radial/longitudinal wear is even. Is this something very common due caliper/toe alignment settings, seen advice that toe puts different loads on inner/outer pads within fixed caliper braking systems or is it something that will probably be cured by rebuild part#41120-12U25 Then as I don't have air gun, any top tips on piston removal without a compressor?

If it's a quick purchase, pop down to your local bike shop(s) and try them on for fit. Note some ebay imports don't come with aussie standards stickers though apparently you can purchase those stickers online too? Personally run plain colour full face with visor removed (no ventilation issues in closed cockpit) with sunnies. Iirc $300-500. This is old and you can ignore their recommendation but it explains the testing process and international standards that get pushed. Google "blowing the lid off"

Don't you love the rawness of early in car footage. Modern sophistication, go pro et al sanitises the experience.

I'm working through a mad implementation so no go for tonight - really need to get a down one of these nights so I can get a rough compare against runs made prior to mods

Is calder regularly updating its website at the minute as it seems ANDRA street meet "off street drags" are starting again from 27th Sept

Here is my best, my 2nd session in the day, not quite a 1:02 but fun all the same. Only reviewed footage from the one session so if I've captured anything interesting in Grp5 footage will let you know.

Yes waiting to go out in grp5 3or4th session and red evo driver initiated a chat with v8 m3, cut version=you take interesting lines; what do you mean?; I was overtaking and you moved into me sending me on to the grass:-) Before it got worse he walked away. All in all good day, got to see some new faces was expecting rain in the arvo and it didn't arrive, result. Personally can't wait to shred the 2nd hand tyres and get some new ad08s or rtypes.

I'm still waiting for a fresh sticker for my membership card expired 01sept Could I have an official email in case get a Wrx club knock back at calder rego Saturday

Unfortunately I’ll be at SAUNats, now if we could wrangle an unrestricted road tour back from SA :-)

now you've got me, I was at Winton in April, can't remember if it was wet though. Anyhow, will watch out and say hi at Calder

I need to match faces/names to some tags so please feel free to say hello, I'm John in the green 200sx

bumps It used to be my head hitting the roof due to the bumps that concerned me - so got a custom mount/bucket seat installed which has given me inches of head room - sweet.

Looking forward to seeing the results, I'm starting to search for an 1.5LSD. And Ben, see you there.

Just wondering who is/has entered the next SAU round at Calder run by WRX? http://www.forum.wrx.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=78358 83 are entered but a lot of entrants seem to have unticked the publish name button, so not sure who is in.

Which ATS, metal, silent, carbon, street? If carbon would love to hear his feedback contemplating between the 1.5 nissmo gt pro or ats carbon myself.
