Of course.. anyone can join in.. even if you have some crappy run about.. :)

Great.. Thanks for that..

Matt.. Stop whoring! lol.. And I told you my pillow and blanket would take up half of the boot!

And then you can sleep in the other half still!

also wanting some advise.....dont know what wheels to have for the day. I have a set of stockies with good rubber but only 205, and a set of 19" with 235 on the front and 275 on the rear. the stockies i couldnt care about and would encourage me to find the dry patches to tear it up, but overall have way worse handling and stability. The 19" i dont care about too much more except that they weigh a hell of a lot more, and if it aint going to help with handling im not going to bother......let me know what you guys think...

Count me in. Paid under SAU ID

I wouldnt be chewing up the good rubber.. and 19's may not be the best way to go..

No time to pick up a cheapo 2nd hand set of tyres?

Brendan,

Go the smaller, crappy tyres.

Oran Park skid pan isnt the words best...concrete is all uneven, gets bumpy and some of these exercises will be very stressfull on tyres.

the watering system...if you can call it that, doesnt do much of a job.

there will bemany dry patches, esp if they dont use the two water trucks...some of the parts of the pan that are wet, are on braking and turn in parts - makes it more trickier :P

Last day I was there for a motokharna, I chewed up my tyres from handbrake turns to power sliding the whole pan. there is nothing left on those tyres!!!and if I do this day - I'll be using one of my many spares I have :laugh:

Thanks for that Jon... Looks like pedro has a chance!

Corinne,

looks highly unlikely now I'll be able to make it...

just spent almost 3k on fights and tours....

IF there is room and its last minute, Im sure I can scrounge up some $$$ but at this stage, highly unlikely

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
    • Take the fall as a warning sign for future endeavours  Stay safe mate
    • hi mate, HKS cooler piping still available by any chance?
