Had a great day Scott - good to see you and the crew. :action-smiley-069:

Guys

This went much better than your descriptions of last year.

I was near last in a field of 82 first run was about 11:30

Got six runs in by 3PM

After the second run the process had refined to:

- we were doing burnouts as the car in front was launching up the hill

- cars released when car in front of that was half tgrack at S2

- so a car was being released about every 20 to 30 seconds.

Although the scruteneering and paperwork was slow in the morning (but on time to the program) once up and running it was all good.

I would recommend this to people considering the Come and Try at Collingrove.

Saw a 35R with S series plates parked at a furniture place down south.. Owner i'd say, used to see a 34R parked at the same place..

that sleep center joint? might be ax53b70p25's new car...

33 v spec with plates VSPEC3 also getting the full service at west lakes car wash

Would of been 'Red Back' after the hillclimb yesterday :)

Also as he said above, would definatly recomend it for anyone thinkin about entering! Should involve it in SAU:SA calender

Also spotted a maroon/red 32 GTR with nice dished rims going the other way while i was drivin home from Collingrove between woodside-harndorf area?? Anyone from here?

sounds like Matt in my old 32... he is on here as GTaaaah32 or similar

collingrove is quite fun and id recomend it for everyone to try. you dont really get many runs in, so we just turned it into a burnout comp last time. was much more fun

:laugh:

Best. Starlet was a pretty solid performer...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
