I heard the prices were going up.

$25 for a spectator is a fkn joke and $65 to race is way too expensive!

No wonder people street race, with prices like that who can afford to compete every week.

LOL. And they wonder why people street race. I dont understand some of these people that run these type of events. It makes far more sense to reduce the costs to enter etc and draw more people in to race and watch. They will bump the price up to $70 before long i recon. I was thinking of giving it a go out there sometime but looking far too expensive. $65 entry, $100 fuel there and back, $500 for tires. Dam thats one expensive outting.

I'm sure they'll soon realize the crowd is fading. Having lesser cars and crowd there will be a sign for them. Was just there about 3 weeks ago. Had about 30 cars i reckon. Had the chance to do 20 runs :( But yeah $65 is just too much.

The manager and some other staff who worked for Calder just recently quit or got the sack.

These people really pushed to make it allot better this year.

I guess where just going to see what happens next year.

That's right!

The people that gave a shit about the place and tried to push to make it better got sacked or was pushed to resign. All because Bob has lost the plot and is listening to the one lying bitch that is going to fark up the place big time.

My mate (Malcolm, for those who know him) was in charge of "track hire", he had managed to book Calder out every weekend in 2008 and most weekdays, with a few major events that would not have happened without his and Russel's (previous manager) hard work. One bitch wanted the top job and took down anyone that wasn't on her side. Well she now has the top job, but all i hear from current staff and Calder clients, is that the place is a mess with a massive lack of planning/organization/etc.

Hell even the manager at Adelaide International Raceway (AIR) resigned, due to Bob listening to this bitch.

calder park drifting.. $90 to compete!! and u end up stacking ur car because the barriers are pretty much ON THE FREAKING TRACK!! but its mad fun.. better than going straight..

dragging is a joke there.. pay that money, wait all night, and have 3 runs..

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
