installing.

I thought i would be able to go into the road registered category, but because the vehicle is 4wd they have put me in the main category.

I am looking at getting it chipped or boost controller and fuel line cutoff but then have to have a CAMS log book completed.

so i wont be coming close to the other guys, but its all fun

There's minimum weight, certification, and age requirements for the extinguisher.

I can't remember the exact details but my mate just got his from KMart. We pulled every single one out of it's box to see which was the furthest from expiry.

As for mounting it just has to be hard mounted to something solid, some people use wear the seat rail anchor to the floor on their passenger seat, etc.

cheers Ash. i cant find much info on this topic, searched the cams website and that didnt give me any info on fire extinguiser specs. the powder extinguisher we have has expired and we have 2 others that have been discontinued, so yeah next time im in k-mart ill have a look. what does your mate compete in to require an extinguisher?

Yeah the CAMS site isn't the best, it was for a super sprint at Sandown, so at CAMS 2S level.

Have a search around the Vic area and the checklists for track days, it'll be in with 2ndary bonnet restraints, blue triangles, etc, etc.

yer 900gram ones for about $30 are all u need and they need to be readily acessible so either under seat or somewhere else securely. and check the dates, as most of the in stores have allready expired.

Im Entered into the Hillclimb state championships, so come and say hello.

Still have to get my car log booked by cams next week though.

applied for my 2S license as well.

I was able to get into sports cars closed, instead of the PRC RAlly Cars class, so might have a bit more of a chance.

Hope to see you there.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
