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

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
