haha, is that suppose to be skates or skirt?? :P

So is there anything actually holding up getting the club started?

I would love to see you guys like NSW and VIC and getting into all things motorsport :P

There are only a very very small handful of people that wish to get in to the motorsport.

SAU/SA will be more of a street hoon club I believe. Because a lot are too scared or poor one of the two :D to take their cars out at Mallala. :)

As Madaz can appreciate the turnout at Mallala was woeful. Not to mention the few times Salad has attempted to get people out there. It simply does not happen.

Street hoon sort of a club..but wouldn't SAU want to try and promote the good side of these cars?? :thumbsup: take it off the streets and try and get a good police present and reputation up...

Yes I believe what you are saying is true about the too poor or too scared..But really it's not that expensive.. initial set up is a licence, fire extinguisher and a helmet (entry fee).. a set of semi slick would last a person at least 4 trackdays probably more...and a full tank of fuel and away you go..

It's a real shame :( it's never been promoted enough "as the thing to do" (I know Maz and salad have tried) to get more people interested and only one track is a bit of a set back, I didnt even know about proper motorsport until I moved to Sydney and now cant get enough of trackwork, motorkhanas and about to try hillclimbs..The cars we have are amazing and best fun when out there doing what they were ment too and taking it off the streets and being able to use your car at it's full potential in safe conditions..

Cubes your not interested in doing this sort of thing?

I see alot of the older generation in Adelaide doing motorsport type event's and in old cars and Mitsibishi GSR club have the right idea yet SAU SA doesnt try and move in that direction..

Has SAU SA tried a defensive driver training day? http://www.adrenalin.com.au/defensive-driv...otorsport/12003 just an example http://www.drivetolive.com.au/index.php/se...ntent/723187289

I am most definitely..

Im going to give it a few more sau 'events' and see who turns up to what and then make a final decision.

If no one shows to at least motorkhana's I'll can the idea and join NDCC as motorkhana's are the cheapest of cheap motor sport events.

Steve is soon to do his dyno day so once i get word on when that is going to be i can hopefully squeeze in a couple of motorkhana's.

I did the DECA motorkhana with the SAU Vic boys in my mate's GTR, and it was one hell of a fun day, I'm in Joel.

OMG you did!!! HI5!! :)

SAUVics are the best bunch of people and they have the best facility (DECA) at Shepparton!!

I will be doing a DECA in Nov hopefully!!

So this topic has gone quiet again :) I really hope you guys can find the people that are willing to be on a committee and get together and get this off the ground :)

SASAU FTW!! :)

**Cough** Next year

start squeezing in motorkhana's :miner:

i have been looking into these motorkana type events, but i dont want to have to join another club to have to do it.

if sau sa was a registred club, hell, ill be at every event i could be at.

If there was a motorkhana to enter I would seriously reccomend DECA!!

I know its a trip but you will see what I mean if you ever enter one! They are off tap and well worth it! November .......

SA SAU FTW!!!

You don't have to ... You simply pay for a temp day license and off u go.

if a full time student with a piss poor casual job can afford to go out there, anyone can, few people need to take down a refreshing can of cement and harden the fark up :whistling:

If some one else wants to take on the responsibility of cruises etc under the title of a club by all means. There's a lot of liability associated.

As I've stated before I'm not interested in organising a 'street' club. Only a motorsport club.

If you want a 'street' club your better off with the way it is now. :(

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
