Bummer to hear about your car Snowy, I've got some cool pics of you launching :P but none of the lunching :sick:

Actually my car looked a whole lot worse than it actually was. It seems the filler plug on the top of the gearbox came out. I probably should have looked into it earlier in the day when I notcied a few drops of oil under the car. It also explains the huge step out I had on the mini wang which was no doubt some oil dripping onto the rear wheels. But the fact is I haven't actually touched the gearbox in a long time so god knows why that plug has suddenly come lose.

We were able to get a replacement plug (of sorts) and got home with no drama's at all.

Im just mostly bummed I killed half the skidpan for everyone.

Otherwise my car was pretty sweet with just a few little things to sort out so I can't wait til next years MS season.

Na my curse. It's been cursed ALL year.

Had the PCD Valve issue at Calder Rally Masters, the tyre issue at circuit battle, the cool pipe at Calder, the well documented rod at Winton (due to a damn fuel pump of all things) and now the tranny fluid episode at DECA.

But it looks like Jesus might take my place with his recently run of luck (and especially don't let him drive your car!)

Well it looks and sounds like everyone had fun.

Hope the problems with people's cars aren't too serious.

Photos look cool. Looks like the Brembros on the Evo are pretty good. Alan looks like he almost did a full on nose plant!!

Am I missing something here or did a certian XR6 Turbo taxi not run? I didn't see any photos of it...

Damn my rims look good on Nige's car!

Well I don't know where to start, I had a fabulous Day yesterday as always but the real fun begins once the sun goes down!!! Thanks to all of the officials, it was such a hot day and you all did a fantastic job.

I can't believe I managed to down two 1.4 litre magerita's!! Thats a first for me but i only got 1 Sombraro :sick:

Sydney - Not sure if you remember me but you were very entertaining throughout the evening and i'm sorry for thinking it was ok to mace you (I didn't actually get you but I considered it which is just as bad!)

Big thanks to James and Allan for delivering breaky this morning, I don't think I would've moved otherwise. :P

The convoy home was fun, normally there arn't as many cars as we had today.

No probs Bris about rushing out.

Oh and Gadget - Can't wait to see the results, i'll put $50 on me losing!

Great pics Tharaka and Paul , thanks both of you :sick:

Evo brakes need replacing all round in the coming days so was trying to get the last of the life out of them as the discs are too scored to be machined.

Juz - no probs, can't believe we didnt bring you coffee though of all things, will make note of that for the next time as I am sure there will be one! :P

LOL! Anyone would think Bris was the victim! Damn it was worth it to see the President having such a good time and especially at his rival President's expense :sick:

Out of interest on the tracks, maybe people should provide feedback on the layouts, those who have done previous DECA's. Being a lot more technical, they chewed through the time quicker either as a result of cones being knocked over, slower times or like me, having to do 3 point turns! I personally think Evo sabotage was to blame! :P

My thoughts, I really liked the technical stuff both in the morning and afternoon but would probably prefer a combination. Perhaps technical stuff before lunch when you are fresher and some wider stuff in the afternoon.

Tops day though all round :mad:

I definately are coming to Tuesday's meeting. :mad:

I found that the courses in the afternoon where difficult in the holden taxi, as I had to be absolutely spot on with placing the car, and even then, due to cones being hit and replaced in slightly different spots, I needed to stop and backup a couple of times just to get through.

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
