  1. I've no doubt heating/curing them in a controlled manner(ie off car) has some effect, we do it to loads of different materials to alter properties but: - on car isn't controlled, different areas would be brought up to different temps at different rates and each tyre would be different again. - even in a controlled manner, how big a difference? like adding nitrogen instead of air? I bet one clumsy lead foot session would negate any life expectancy gains from your controlled scrub. So, worth the effort/cost, I doubt it. Your driving style/skill will have a bigger difference and the money you save in not paying for the scrub service you can put aside to lessen next purchase cost.
  2. FYI: you spelt my name incorrectly it's Ms. Jo Packham
  3. BTW, any details on how the day will run?
  4. Thanks for the day, great fun, good company and Squires Loft Nunawading for the food to keep us all going. Here's my best lap of the day:
  5. BTW are we planning on attending Rexmas as a club?
  6. There is now http://www.sau.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/458275-Import-Monster-Sau-Nats---Track-Day-3rd-Oct
  7. Any news on Rnd#6, just wondering if I'll have sufficient time to start work on the car and complete it :-)
  8. Yep same situation here, don't worry it will arrive, just shout out if you have an external event you need proof of membership. BTW do we get an SAU bottle opener - I need one bad :-)
  9. Maybe we should purchase this and get some practice in http://www.topgear.com/car-news/motorsport/sale-scalextrics-biggest-ever-track
  10. Where do you store it as definitely not here http://www.sauvic.com.au/motorsport_championship
  11. Should get around to it, anyone know where I can pick up some cheap Hankooks?
  12. Well I didn't and such good weather :-(
  13. PIARC are pretty relaxed with refunds aren't they? Looks like I'll be finding out tomorrow.
  14. I'm still waiting for my parts to turn up, not looking good. Annoyingly got contacted by the payment guy and the NAB had successfully taken my payment.
  15. Still waiting for bits to arrive and unfortunately non of them are to help me run faster, just help me run
  16. Watching P2 and feeling jealous on two counts. 1) I'm not there and driving 2) I'm too old, "so Jolyon, when you won GP2 did you also get invited to the Prince Albert dinner party as per F1 guys?", "Nah, had to fly back to UK and sit my exam on the Monday"
  17. spectators are free, you may get questioned by security on the gate, general rule is to mention you're there for the club hosting the day(this case Alfa) or associated club and they'll let you in.
  18. Ash, does me and my fat tum make it a +2 :-)
  19. Free but why do you want to watch us eat?
  20. Cage and race seat back in, giggity!
  21. Hopefully over time we'll see some 4Cs entered
  22. Noticed there are very few Alfa's entered? presume there will be a rush before EoM as price goes up May
