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...

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
