Firstly, thank you to everyone who participated and spectated. These event are organised for everyone to enjoy and to give their cars an absolute caning under a controlled environment without the fear of causing any serious damage to themselves or others.

Secondly, special thanks must go to Snowy and Chris for planning such a great event! Thanks also to everyone who helped out on the day including all the marshals, Team BBQ (not Ash) and everyone else who took time out of their schedules to come up and assist in making the day run so smoothly.

Thirdly, thanks to Team NSW for making the long haul down to Vic to join in the fun! We hope you had a ball and enjoy the Sat festivities which is Taco Baz and anything which happened afterwards. Just remember kids, GPS doesn't know everything... :pwned::nyaanyaa: Have a safe trip home!

I have to give personal thanks to Snowy for giving me the trademark "Snowy 2 min lesson in handbraking" as this helped immensely in making my day so much more enjoyable! I think I've almost got it right now and the understeering pig which is my car has transformed itself into an awesome machine! It's amazing how much a couple minutes of tuition from someone who knows what they're doing can do to make you a better driver!

All I need to do is make the car more responsive down low (without spending heaps of $$$ on a new turbo).

Aaron, good to see you made it home ok. 3 out of 5 forward gears is plenty ;)

Can't wait to see some pics, vids and results!!

Big thanks to everyone that came and made the day so enjoyable for all. It was in my opinion one of the best DECA's we've had.

The new format worked great and meant we were never rushed for time but I don't think anyone feels they missed out with the missing practise run. The afternoon battle format was definitely great.

A big thanks of course go to everyone that helped out on the day. It really is appreciated that we have more and more of our regulars putting up their hands and helping out for parts of the day.

I must also thank everyone that looked after our special guests from NSW and the staff from Taco Bill's that came down during the day. I've said it before but it's the friendly accommodating nature that makes these days so great. The other thing that was really great yesterday was the number of people having drives in others cars. This is an experience I'm sure everyone who was involved in appreciates and it's just great that as a club we are so prepared and trusting to allow this kind of thing to happen.

I must say I was probably the biggest example of this yesterday and other than my WRX which I brought up I also had the pleasure of having a run in Jame's EVO, Leewah's GT-R, Fooboy's EVO, Scotsman's GT-R and Ryan's 180. And I had offers from plenty of other for drives in their cars too. So big thanks to everyone that either let me drive or offered their cars - it was great fun.

I can also tell you all on Friday I had the chance to test out some new designs for our August DECA in both full skidpan and battle runs and I think the next DECA may have the best events ever. So we can look forwards to that already.

Cheers

Snowy

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed

      the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box

      Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.

      I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
