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!)

hey was a great day to get burnt, and those flies oh god, i wanted to kill those flies.

I have some pics, and a vid ill upload when tharaka works out his server for me ...

twas a good weekend away as per usual, cant wait till i get the munro in there ...

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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
