Bam, Your a bitch too, so that makes 6:p

Anyway, ignoring the whoring, I agree that the females in SAU have contributed substantially to the social atmosphere of the club, and I'd hope that they would be willing to put themselves forward as committee members.

i just dont want this becoming political in any way - ive seen this happen with other car clubs and it just becomes a total shit fight.

what would exactly be your involvement if u did run for a position? or did i miss that about 3 or 4 pages ago?

If the guys would like a female on the committee then i will put myself forward - career wise Event Management is what i hope to do anyway so it would be good experience for me - but...... I think its not fair to have someone on the committee just because their female when there is guys that have been around longer than us and probably better to do the job ..... so if a female wasnt elected to the committee dont think us girls are going to have a tanty about it and take it personally :)

I belong to 3 other clubs that are CAMS affiliated and to be perfectly honest , it's a head **** that I don't really want.

Ask yourself how many of the club members are going to regularly and seriously compete in events that require a CAMS lic.

what you have to realise is that by going down this path , all events we run will have to be to CAMS rules with the appropriate fees paid ( yes , even a cruise or static display).

There are reports to be filled in , permits to obtain , stewards to find etc etc.

My opinion is that for the serious ones , there is ample car clubs they can join to get the CAMS benefits which are cheap and for the rest we keep it a more social club with cruises etc that if something goes wrong , then there is nothing formal.

My thoughts

Ken

I like kens thinking, perhaps on another idea we, affilliate ourselves with a cams affilliated club, so that everyone who joins this club joins that club too. If that makes sense. I get from the posts in this thread that people just want a bit more formality about the club, we could start having agms and monthly meetings, but anything more then that would be as ken puts it, a headbonk. though i could see this not doing enough to make our could be sponsors happy.

To give an example , the AFARCC was giving memberships for $20 plus your level 2 lic.

They are running a Collie drif... err Sprint day later this month and even if you aren't a club member it's only $70 for the day plus CAMS lic.

We would require a lot of time , money and effort to get to that level and I am sure that if we approached the AFARCC as a group , that price would be cheaper.

So RB20lagwagon has a point in that we remain ourselves but under the banner of a CAMS affiliated club.

No different to the Combined Car Clubs Sports Register which has a lot of minor marque clubs banded under the register.Don't forget though, if we join as a club then we are bound by the CAMS rules( all 600 odd pages ) but if the diehards join a CAMS club to compete and the rest don't , then the social and err.. cruises are a lot less of a drama

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
