I'm after a car trailer. Anyone know of someone getting rid of one?

I was about to say, we should have our own Time attack here in Tassie! With Black jack! and hookers! Every driver that has a fit Mrs, sister or mother has to submit them as promo girls that can walk around. All the not so attractive ones can just go be flag marshals. Two Classes, Street and Open. Streets have to be road legal and registered, can't go faster than 63? Open is what ever. Need a cage and all that fun stuff.

I suppose a casual approach would work with people you're already chummy with. Maybe not with a bigger corporate sponsor, they'd just be like "who the f**k is this bogan asshole"

I hope no one on here had their car stolen http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-07-27/20110727-kinives-pulled-in-northern-robberies/2811772 But if it had no number plates then it might actually be a skyline owner that did it!

wiring is a piece of pie. You'll need to tune it right away though, because it'll be running rich as with new AFM

well with the 4 of us maybe we should split up the cost of getting a big transporter for a week? haha, or maybe one of us has a friend with one?

I'm keen! Just need to get a trailer

I had problems sleeping, then I realized my bed was on a little bit of a lean. corrected that and now I get my 40 winks every night Also I had some leftover diazipam from another prescription, that helped too.

I suppose it is. How do you negotiate the deals you have with your sponsors? (If that's not a rude question) Is it just like "Hey do you want to sponsor me? You can just hook me up and I'll put a sticker on my car" or what?

Hey Guys, Just wondering about how you more serious racers go about getting sponsors, what's the procedure you go through? Do you just know someone with a business and they hook you up or do you write proper application essays and submit those to business around your area? I found this http://sau.ferni.net/Scotsman/SP2008.pdf Obviously someones application essay, is that the type of thing everyone is doing? or is that a bit on the extreme side? And when people give you these large amounts of cash, do you need an ABN or is it like a gift or what's the go there? does the Tax man need to know about these contributions? Is there a threshold on how much you can get before you need to play tax on it? I've got a couple lined up for next year, I just was spinning a yarn with the local butcher as he saw me with the car on the trailer and asked about it and I in jest asked him if he wanted to sponsor me and he said yeah sure no problem, then I stalled a bit because I didn't know what to do or how much to ask for or how to ask for it I just said I'd get back to him at the start of next season. I'm not really that desperate for sponsors, I just would like to get a little bit more money back to help with entry and maybe put a little money back in the beer budget so I can stop drinking goon Although that has helped with driver weight reduction Assuming I can get the car running how I like it, (Just having the usual RB oil woes atm), I'd like my 2012 season to go like this: Tas Drift Series Tas Super Series (Sports GT B-Grade) Tas Hillclimb series Probably attend a few Sprints and Random track days too. I'm pretty bad at drifting but I've only tried it a couple of times and it's something I'd like to be good at and it's really fun too so that's something I'd like to do and next year I reckon I could get top16. Tas Super series, I could only enter if I got my car running right as it's pretty hardcore, prolly about as hardcore as you can get before you need to leave Tassie and my lap times are quick enough so I'd just need to work on my racecraft in order to post some results but I'm not going to promise anything to anyone, just going out to have some fun. Hillclimb series I'm entering this year and had a little go with in my WRX last year and got good results, I was put into a class I wasn't competitive in though so I didn't actually win anything I'm only 22 at the moment but I'd really like to do all this now before my Mrs gets all clucky and decides she wants a child and a house then I will have no money ugh, not looking forward to that. I've always jumped in the deep end with competing (used to race motorbikes) because I found if you start in the shallow end and just splash about no one takes you seriously and the deep end just looks deeper and deeper the longer you put it off. So that's my story SAU, I'd really like your 2c worth on kick starting my racing career, do you think I'm doing it right? Am I doing it wrong? What would you do differently? Cheers, z

Here are some pics Inside the fridge The fridge and fermenters

Hey Guys, I've recently moved house and I don't have room to keep my brewing gear at my new house. It's sad times because I've had a lot of fun with this setup and brewed some fantastic beers. Setup is for kit and kilo or liquid malts, it's not capable of all grain yet, not far away though. Setup Contains: 2x 60L Fermenters 3x 27L Fermenters 5x 19L Corny kegs 2x Beer taps. 1x Beer fridge that fits 4 kegs and holds 2 taps 1x Co2 Regulator 1x inline filter 1x hydrometer All lines and fittings needed to operate Also included is a large collection of tall boy bottles and bottle caps as well as all my left over ingredients Which include a small collection of specialty malts, hops and a few kilos of various malt. You can also have my big pot I use to steep my malts and hops. Also included is my big book of secret recipes and brewing notes. If you want too I can come to your house and set it up for you if you're not confident in doing it your self. I'll even teach you how to brew too if you want. There is also a CO2 bottle to go with it but the ownership of it is actually under dispute at the moment... I'm looking for $950 for this complete setup. Post here if you've got any questions or are interested in this. Alternatively you can send me a PM. Cheers, z

I've got a fridge with taps and kegs and shiz that I didn't have room for in my new house

build a reeeeeeeealy big shed with a bar and it can be the SAU club house

oh sweet Not sure if I'll bring the skyline out to this one... Because I've got a hill climb the weekend before and drifting the week after. Might bring the WRX so you've got a chance to keep up with me You guys could all come to the drift come and try day though, it's going to be awesome

What end of the state are you in?

Uhhhh I didn't think you could join HSCC on the day? I didn't actually put any references on my application.... still went through.

Did you wound your 33 Jay "

Sorrel Bodyworks did a good cheap and cheerful job on my WRX. If you want top quality though, go to diprose in sunderland street.

Finally finished spark plugs! Old plugs were gapped to like 1.4mm! Then took it for a Razzle dazzle on some gravel around sandfly. Seems to have a little more poke off the bottom now which is nice. Missing seems to have stopped too true test will be tomorrow though

Seriously, who'd have a Subaru. I've been at it for an hour now and finally got two spark plus out.... le sigh

Those wheels....

17s are the best, good selection of tyres and not too heavy. Those enkeis would be awesome.

Machining would be a good choise

Uhhhhhhhh. No! Buy my VL instead
