wha!!! but you're organising it from an SAU perspective! :P

Are you coming Moanie? or you just moaning? :)

Yes I am organising it from an SAU perspective and unfortunately the response has not been great. So far it seems that besides me there are only 3 SAU members going. I have already organised one garage for SAU and I will make sure this is available whether I make it or not.

I will be going as long as I can get my car on the road. The rear suspension is being stripped today, I hope. So should know how serious the problem is soon.

Mona - even if your car isn't ready, you should come down anyway. Watch, at least.

With no official timing, perhaps more people will be willing to take passengers as they won't be chasing bragging rights. And its always good experience to sit in the car of a quick driver and see how they drive, and what lines they take.

For those people who are thinking of coming and haven't paid yet, you can forget about it, as this trackday is fully booked.

My brother-in-law tried to book a few weeks ago and was told it was full.

I'm definitely going to be there! And happy to fly the SAU flag if Apollo can't make it. Actually, Apollo if you can't make it, can you let me know, maybe my bro-in-law could take your spot.. PM me anyway if you can't make it so i'll speak to narada about the SAU garage.

No worries Andrew. I should know by today or tomorrow if my car will be ready. If I can’t make it your brother in law can take my spot.

The list on the first post has been updated, it looks like there are five SAU people attending.

pft to watching! thats one think i can never enjoy.. it makes me restless and annoyed! lol!! same with watching drags! rather participate than sit there watching others have a good time!!

well my mechanics going to be out there, so i'll see if i can get a spot! if i can, see you folks on monday! :)

I find it boring to stand on the sidelines and watch, but if I can get a ride then I'm OK with it. Especially if they're a half-decent driver.

Otherwise, get someone to let you drive their car.

N.B. Don't look at me.

hehehe.. you're more easily pleased than i am! :) I don't mind watching and scabing rides here and there.. but by the end of the day, i'll just be angry that i didn't have my car to enjoy!!!!

and nah.. not much for driving other peoples car.. i'd be a totally granny and that defeats the purpose :)

shes just had the engine rebuilt :) Its just a comfort factor having my mechanic around to be able to do a sanity check on the car to make sure all is ok :)

I assume from your signature that Josh at Pro Concepts is your mechanic. If so this is the perfect event as he will most likely be there with the civics.

you assumed correctly :) and yeap.. he will be there with the civics, which is why i'm so keen on attending the day!!! issues with the car has caused me to delay till now though! so i'm hoping for a spot!!! :) if there are none, i may have to work something out with Narada, that allows my mechanic or the civic drivers a couple of laps in my car to see if there are any potential issues :)

A few updates. Spoke to my mechanic this morning and it looks like I will be able to attend. I will know for sure by lunch time.

Scathing has generously agreed to share his timing equipment with us (if time allows) so we can each get a few timed laps. That being the case we can have a bit of an SAU fastest lap showdown.

For those who want to cruise down to Wakefield together, I can meet at Casula Bunnings car park at the cross roads from 6:30am leaving at 6:45am. This is located where the Hume Hwy splits into Camden Valley Way and Campbelltown Road. The big white building in the centre of this map: Map

I think this is a good spot as it is near the M7 and M5 and it is easy to get on the Freeway and head to Goulburn from this point.

Let me know who wants to meet up from here and PM me if you want my mobile to co ordinate things.

I'll volunteer to come last! :woot::D

also, won't be leaving that early! will probabyl start heading down at about 8 as i'm not planning on being there the whole day!

NOW!!! its been over a year since i was last there... so any maps on how to get there once you're in the goulburn area? lol! I know there are two exits and both gets there, just can't remember the way for either routes! lol!

Update 2:

I’m in. My car is ready to go.

I have been in contact with the organizers and they will give us up to 5 garages if I supply the names of people coming.

So, anyone who is coming, please PM me your full name so I can reserve you a garage.

Sign in at the track is at 8:30am so an early start is required.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
