what else ya gunna do?

it'd be un-Australian not to go :P

Shaun.. better rsvp soon! I just checked the thread, and there are under 10spots left. I've read that they have put aside 10 spots for the bikes and the cars have the remaining 40spots.

I could be interested however, the track standard might be a bit high. That said, if people think I could "hack" the track, I will happily go for it.

lol

Don't worry!!! I'll be there to bring the standard down a bit. lol.

I would have really liked to make it back there to see how the car goes now it handles better but I have settlement that w/e. It was nice to drive a track that was more technical than others and also how layed back the day was. Oh well next time I'll be there!

Recommended to anybody thinking about it.

I see there is now some Elise's, some GT3's and a GT2 on the list as well (apparently).

I was thinking of changing my mind and finding another time to go but it's becoming a mightily interesting list of entrants.

Unfortunately we haven't been able to get Sutton Rd for this weekend so there will be another Wakefield trip to NSW early in the New Year run in conjunction with a Sutton Rd event but we are waiting for the NSW people to recover from their hangover and get the dates sorted.

With the Calder park WRX championship round the weekend before, this will be interesting to see if a) my car will be ready in time for Jan 20th and b) if i break something at calder, preventing me from coming to Wakefield

Afternoon Kids!

I've just received a PM from Autosports saying they are now chasing payments and they'd like to tie up payments by the end of the week.

Should be an awesome day!!! So if you want to reserve your spot, you MUST pay now!

I hope to see you there!

Hey guys, I was thinking of bringing the Evo down but was wondering how far is the drive from Melbourne?

From memory it is about 6 hours of driving but took around 8 with breaks/fuel stops etc.

Not sure, depends if i get some "issues" sorted at the moment.

But if its not ready, i will be dead... so its me or the car by Jan 07.

Just wondering if anyone has seen Ash since Sunday night?

Was talking to Bec today about this, is there a final consensus on this as I have the Thursday booked off but will make other plans if people arent going? :)

Guys, im in the process of doing a weekend of thrashing up here that you guys can come to, it includes a DECA style day, and a day at Wakefield (or i can sort Oran Park but thats harder)

Im being held up by the ACT government not choosing their exact dates for the ACT rally - due to a clause in a lease agreement one of the places we're going to use arent allowed to accept bookings until the rally dates are booked first

So my hands are tied.....for now :)

By all means go up for this trip (afterall, 2 trips is better than one) - but for the guys that miss out, ill make it well known when ive organised my one so you guys all have enough notice etc to get time off work etc

For those that weren't aware the majority of us are no longer going up for this.

However if you have paid it is still on and you can still attend.

Stay tuned for another SAU road trip to wakefield soon! So much fun.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
