Hi All,

As you may or may have not seen we run a large amount of exclusive SAU VIC members events.

One of the popular ones coming up soon is the SAU VIC / WRX Drag Day event at Heathcote.

This event is open to all SAU VIC members and they are eligible to compete on the day.

Trophies will be awarded for several categories including most consistent and best improvement.

The day proves to be a good day as we have the track for our exclusive use, so lots of runs!!!

If you aren't an SAU VIC member and would like to compete in this event you really need to get your membership in ASAP to compete in this kick ass day. We will be checking memberships for each driver on the day to ensure only valid members can compete in the event.

If you are considering SAU VIC membership and wondering what you're missing out on, this is one of the many events we run each month. Non members are welcome to spectate on the day @ $10 per person

:P

REMINDER - Event on this Saturday.

Anyone is welcome to come and spectate ($10 entry).

Would be great to see lots of people up there checking out the club.

So if you have nothing to do, get a group of friends, drive up, and watch SAU kick some WRX Club a$$!!!!

I am a member of another CAMS affiliated club, Won't give them any advertising here cause im sick of them, 2 years and i still dont recieve mail-outs or Membership Card. I will be joining SAU in August when my current membership runs out.

QUESTION IS does this membership cover me for tomorrow!? If so ill be there, racing...

You can pay your membership on the day I beleive. Find the guy that looks like he's on a trip 24/7. That's Ash, he'll tell you what to do. Or look for the guy with a shannon noll on his face. That's Adz, he's our membership slag.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
