i added to that email to mike rann ...... Also as a former employee of the now defunct Adelaide International Raceway, it has come to my attention through both the media and my own observations that the increase in young fatalities and the introduction of "Hoon laws" have come in since A.I.R have shut. The facts are out there, we as automotive enthusiasts have absolutely nowhere to take our cars, whether they be our street cars, or full on race cars. The closest place most people can enjoy their cars is at Mallala. Now you add up the cost of trailer hire, fuel costs of both the race car and the tow car, entrance fees and a racing licsnse and it can get quite lucrative, yet the government will just sit on their hands and do nothing. Opening another racing venue and getting patrons at the door will be like shooting fish in a barrell. Take for instance the drag strip in Sydney (WSID) they have 3 weekly "street meets" and at most of them, they have to turn entrants away as they are full to capacity, now if that isint a good incentive to get money back into the government, I don’t know what is. I am not the only person out there that has opinions like this as most drag racers have to either travel to Whyalla or Mildura to get to their closest drag strip

well said ben!

its not too bad for me now cause im only an hour and a half away from mildura, but for those to come from adelaide its a massive drive

[nugzy31]

ben??? i only get called that when im in trouble...my missus doesnt even call me ben.lol

[DamageInc]

the thing thats is bad is that if you drive out to mallala in your pride and joy to do what you want legally and take spare tyres etc etc , you still will probably end up getting defected

like obviously the person is going out of their way to do it legally , shouldnt have to reem them

[MissR34]

yay soooo getting re trimming done in the next month when i get my tax return!! yaay!

[DamageInc]

went to my accountant today to get my tax return done hoping that it would somewhat cover shit thats happened to my car but it wont,

oh well least im gettin some cash !

so true lance

[rad100]

hey all..

my car (r32 rb25det) is idling at like 500rpm... how can i get it idling higher? throttle control valve on the back of the plenum? do i wind it in or out?

just did a service and its just really low!

any ideas? stock everything besides splitfires!

also my handbrake light stays on!

[JMW]

Disconnet your TPS and unscrew the idle adjustment screw on the aac valve (anti-clockwise) until you get a decent idle. Have a look at the aac cleaning DIY, pretty sure it covers idle adjustment mate

[Luke_ENR34]

might be along shot, but has anyone ever cleared anything themself through customs? Got a pallet arriving from Japan very soon and need it cleared. Been told i can do it myself.

Cheers.

[D_Stirls]

correct.

keys were in the ignition of my car and all the other cars in the shop which even if i did have comp insurance on it , wouldnt do shit...

I find this very hard to believe, every time i have been there first thing in the morning for a tune all the cars had to be moved out so get to the dyno, and in every case the cars were lock and alarmed if they had alarms and the key were kept in a locked cabinet.

Also comming on here and discussing it on a public forum is not the way to go about getting the issue resolved, any chance you had of getting them to helping you out is gone since you have already tarnished their name.

I if was the owner of a workshop and you did that to me before i had a chance to work through it with you i would have 4 words for you; "see you in court".

[SLED]

Dale, Mitch hasn't done anything that could warrant those 4 words.........someone else did but that was edited immediately.

However Mitch, as Dale rightly pointed out, discussing it with us in here won't necessarily endear you to them........probably best to sit down with Dave Keen (one on one) and discuss their liability in all of this.
