After many years of successful years of hardcore drinking and weiner eating at Shutzenfest, may I extend an invitation for another SAU social get together - without cars of course.

As usual I will be there bang on 11:30am Sat 12th January to hold a big table/chairs, and need some other lads to help me hold the fort and setup a top position from which we can come and go all afternoon/evening.

Info:

Schutzenfest 2008

Enjoy the Oompah music, dancing, food – and of course, the beer – at Adelaide's annual German festival, Schutzenfest.

You can enter the Strong Arm Beer Stein Lifting competitions, or take a Traditional Bavarian Slap Dance lesson!

There's children's entertainment, stalls serving traditional German food and drinks, cultural heritage displays and more. It's a fabulous event enjoyed by more than 20,000 people every year.

Other attractions include Air Rifle Shooting Range with prizes for King, Queen and Open winners, and of course the large range of thirst quenching German beers. The 2008 Schutzenfest opens at 4pm on Friday 11 January 2008 and 12pm on Saturday 12 January 2008. Gates close at midnight both days.

Be THERE or be SQUARE

If you have never been before, then you don't know what you are missing. It is a tops day out, with all varieties of grog from (very alcoholic) apple cider, to German wheat (and other) beers, other imported beers like Hoegarten and Asahi, and of course pre-mix bourbons and the like. Then add all varieties of awesome food - including authentic German fare like Sauerkraut, Leserkase, kranskys, etc. Then add the fact that is is normally 35 degrees and there are literally THOUSANDS of half naked drunk chicks (and if it is hot enough they put up a spray tent - awesome entertainment to sit at the end of).

Wives, girlfriends and others welcome - the more the merrier!

Any volunteers to come early and help me hold some big tables/lots of chairs and have a BIG day out? :laugh:;): :)

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
