Thanks for the quick reply Roy covered everything there. Good to hear that a few of the SAU guys offer guidance on the day.

LOL...my type of guidance ..

"Ok your turn...now did you see my lines and braking points?"

"Yep"

"Well do the complete opposite and you will be fine, and quick" :whistling:

no way Sandown is scarier than PI!

am I a traitor for wanting to do the Maserati day there the week after instead? heaps less cars than the WRX days usually... I had 10+ laps in every session last time I went... bit pricier than the WRX days tho... hmmm

It's those damn walls that are so close @ sandown :whistling:

Do you seriously find you don't get enough laps in on WRX days? (just interested) as towards the afternoon they usually let you go out in any group you want since half the field has broken something or been pinged for noise or something ;)

last night was my first time at the sau anual meeting and i had a lot fun meeting every one and getting to know a few people out side of deca so i just wanna say thank you to every one for been such a great group of people and a great club to be involved with.

#ALSO I WILL BE DOING DRIVER TRAINING AT SANDOWN ON ANZAC DAY. :)

yeah WRX days I never seem to get more than a couple of clean laps in a row... Maser day I was flying around by myself until the brakes had melted! It helps heaps being able to do lots of back to back laps (in the same session as opposed to overall) and not have to wait around much in between... I can just push a tiny little bit harder every lap until I find the limit...

Sandown walls are scary but I don't look at them and the speeds and g loads through the corners are much less... PI I was just trying to grow some balls... trying to ease off the gas and just turn in instead of riding the brake coming up to the corner because I am not comfortable with just turning the wheel at 150km/h!

What's the hold up now Dane?

Dollar dollar bill y'all...

I've decided not to put the engine in until I get back from overseas, would rather amke sure I have enough spending money over there. The sleeving and all that is done, just not going to put the head on, or put it in the car for another few months. I'd rather wait and make sure it's all done properly than rush it.

My trip is looking more and more like being funded by a personal loan :blink: Car is good. so im going to drive it as much as possible. Hell, it jsut means i will have to sleep on benchs and beaches when OS, umm, actually ... :banana:

I will be sending my form off tomorrow (express post).

What do I regarding my competition number? It says enter preferred number on the entry form, but will they get back to me before the event with a number so that I have time to buy the appropriate stickers? And where can I get these numbers apart from revolution racegear?

Thanks (and sorry again for the newbie questions)

Yeh if you have race car with a permanent decal then they try to cater for that.

Also, updated first thread with those doing driver training and the guys you can to ride shotgun or have a steer to show you the lines.

if you need me i can help, but you'd be better off using the others first since this will be my first time at sandown...

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
