challenging...not impossible

I have mates on the exec in the WRX club between us and them I think we could get 100 people...that would be cheap enough and would also allow enough runs? A bit of friendly competition could bring in a few numbers too

Not raining on your parade but do you think you could get 115 cars all to pay $100 each...???

So they might get up to 10 runs each if nothing goes wrong... ie. Track clean up's from dropped oil...

Why would someone not go to a test and tune where there is tops of 150 cars (Wednesday event) and pay $36???

Tnt on a Wednesday you will get up to 6-7 runs if nothing goes wrong... ie. Track clean up's from dropped oil...

Bost cruising did thier day 100 cars for $80 dollars from memory and they did it this year..there is more to this than meets the eye hence the reason I want to look into it

I could get 115 cars but 80% of them would be wrx's because thier members are way more active and far less whingey :happy:

Boost Cruising paid for the event in September last year...

I spoke to Nick about the whole setup before I presented the idea the first time...

EDIT: 80 cars at $85.25 each... Both last November and this April...

They are doing it again this year (90cars at $85each), but with sponcers to lower the cost back to what last years cost...

But still thats $85 per car for a max of 9-10 runs considering no accidents...

If you read into their rain out policy you will see that there are some pot holes you could hit if it rains half way throught the event...

If it rains prior to half way you recieve 30% refund, if it rains after half way you recieve no refund...

Yep sponsors will be our goldmine, victoria has put us on to a few that pay out fairly well for events like this

Yeah so anyways, back to the topic at hand...

Ill probablly be there, however as explained in the other drag thread Im a little worried about this 130mph rule... So ill let you all know as soon as I can clear things up and get my slicks of course...

No one wants to see me doing skids half way down the track again... :happy:

It was fun tho...

I find it hard to believe a sponsor or 3 couldn't kick in $1-2k to help discount a full day to members, considering the advertising and full day's marketing they could receive. It wouldn't even have to be a performance workshop specifically.. it could be autobarn, a tyre-place, etc of this world where that sort of money is a pittance. Just think how much it costs to put a TV ad on for a few seconds.

I am sure the official '$36' test and tunes would be significantly more if not for sponsorship of the companies with their billboards down the track, etc.

also sponsors may be able to help a little

Bring it on!!!

Some rivalries with the REXes, a SAU club day with some bbq and racing for less than $100 will be great fun.

I think I will bring my r32 out nxt Sat. Lets see how much slower the current synchro gearbox will b compare to my previous dogbox.

See you guys there.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
