Great pix guys!

Thanks again everyone for coming and making this another successful event - and to CarSales and Provex for their generous support.

MASSIVE thanks to Westy, Ben, Min, Jar, Sarah, Adam and Adam - and everyone else who helped out during the day. Especially Dan the BBQ king - best evar!

Everyone competing is getting much better - I think this was our lowest incidence of cone-hits, so the results for the day will be extra close! Bring on some more photos - and the next round in May :huh:

Thanks to the organisers of the day and also the marshalls/timers. I really appreciate you standing out there in baking sun so I can hammer the car round.

Great Saturday night and Chris/Mav on stage at the strippers had me just about in tears with laughter.

Ace weekend all round :huh:

Was one of the best ones I've competed in yet...I missed out last feb, so was my first time doing those particular events, and they were a lot of fun :laugh:

Managed to not hit a single cone all day up until the afternoon battles, so I'm pretty happy with that effort :P

Thanks to the organisers etc...

PRIORITY ENTRY TO THE NEXT ONE :huh:

Once again, another successful DECA full of quick runs, awesome cars and friendly people.

I personally had a ball as a competitor this time and I congratulate Snowey and Chris for organising another great event! Special thanks also go to Bec, Min and all the other volunteers who withstood the sun to help run this event so smoothly.

Although my car isn't setup very well for the skid pan, I still have fun where I could and I've finally paid off my debts to those I've promised a drive to :huh:

It was worth getting BURNT to see Jeff's N1, David's 10sec Monster (Lucky there was no FIRE BAN lol), Mr Brisby.....racing. (Gotta love the Gate)

Well done Garreth, clocking the fastest time on street tyres, go R32gtr :huh:. Very close to Garreth is one of the J-spec crew wide body R33...and Pete as well, great effort on street tires, some cheap Hankook too.

Those who are competing on street tires might like to find out which Hankook is it off Pete.

Hey all,

That was another great day up at DECA and the level of driving ability across the field was really impressive. I believe some of the skidpan events have even been won outright by RWD cars running normal street tyres. I can't wait to see the final results as it is going to be damn close up the top. It should be a good championship this year. It is a testiment to how much these days have improved the driving ability of everyone as well as mainly being a stack of fun to do.

As mentioned and can be seen in the pics it was another hot one and so my appreciation goes out to everyone who helped run the day. If it isn't for this help we can't run these days so it's great appreciated. And I will be putting together a priority list for the next event for everyone that did lend a hand (if they wish to enter).

Finally a big thanks to the President James for letting me run around in his Stock Cheater Evo. Straight out of the box they are an impressive machine and once you understand them damn easy to drive fast. And thanks also to Leewang for the run in the Purple Monster. It's a beast and there is nothing wrong with it on the skidpan mate! You just need some practise. :huh:

But everyone keep the pics and vids coming. They are great.

Hey guys,

Thanks to all the officials for putting up with the heat so that we can have fun, and Snowy and Chris for organising another great day.

Had an awesome day in team cheater evo! It's a very different beast to the WRX! I think it'll take a few more decas to get the hang of it! :mellow:

Can't wait for the next one...

:)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
