Also cheers to lil Dave for takin me for a spin in the angry CA 180, god that was a lot of fun.

I had a great day, I was expecting to be more tired seeing as I'd just gotten in from Sydney but once I got in the car I was fine. I probably should have put my stockies on but needed to use the Yokohamas for the photo shoot with Joel at Lunch time. Looking foward to seeing the photos from Joel.

Was great to see so many girls entered and also great to see another well organised fun SAU club event. Good to catch up with the Usual suspects and the WRX guys that drove up to spectate. It's nice to see people not entered taking time to come up and support the club and their friends.

Can't wait for the next one, should have my new dif by then aswell.

next time do you think i should take the munro onto the d4d thingo ???

considering my handbrake barely slows the car down etc ...

ummm

hang on, i dont think ill do that, nope ...

ill be signing up as an sau - ee after i get a bit more of my car sorted out ... so ill be pissing off ppl most likely ... and hear whispers on "what the hell is that peice of crap doing here'

hehe

bring on deca btw ... i have a helmet, booyah

For sure mate! It'll be great to see the old holden sideways. Just make sure it's got a locked diff and you'll enjoy yourself. Just do it for the fun of it, because your car will be the limiting factor. Give it a go!

some great photo's there Wokka, nice work.

I really fried my rear tyres during this day, delaminating them on the final wet event, I think that was mainly due to that surface being a fair bit rougher than the big skidpan. I was in the 3rd group to go on the wet event an I thought it was still wet enough, but I guess my tyres proved otherwise. I was giving them a fairly hard time, I expected I would though thats why I used a different pair of rims on the day so I didnt feel I had to hold back.

I cant wait for the next event, this day was well organised, well structured, had great events for beginners and all the knowledge from the insructors anyone could need.

HUGE THANKS to all involved, organisers, instructors & participants, everyone made it a great day!!

I've got vids but they are on an analog video camera. Anyone know how I can convert these into digital format so I can load them up?

hmmm, if u can hook the camera up to a tv, which has a dvd recorder on hooked up to it, i beleive u can do it that way, but im only assuming :O

off topic but did anyone fill up in melbourne just before D4d and then note fuel economy once they had gone through a full tank?

I filled up in melbourne the night before and was empty at 460k's including trashing the car for the day (used about 1/3 @ D4D), interested what others got ?

Hmmmm I'll look into it.

Here are some pics that I took. I have heaps more but don't want to put up pics of peoples plates. What program should I use to black them out.

Check out the truck driver. He was holding on for his life!!!

That corvette that rocked up was very nice...

The one of Pete is just before the pop...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
