Yes Wayne you can remove all of those.

In regards to the Pro Driver thing Ian has informed me that NO Pro driver ( This being anyone who has been payed a salary or wage to drive in any competetive form of motorsport ) will be allowed to drive in Clubsprint Class.

How about the registered owner of the vehicle has to drive? Isnt that easier and removes all arguments. After all shouldnt this class be for the club guy that races his own car.

I think amongst club drivers i can hold me own, but a semi professional driver will still leave me for dead by the tune of over 2 seconds :ninja: So happy to improve as a driver and catch the better club level drivers....but am never going to bridge the gap to a professional driver who has at least 10 times the seat time i get a year :D

If they are going to run their own cars then cool, sux to be me....but dont want the same driver punting 3 cars in the class so i am getting beaten 3 times by the same driver :(

and that 20 minutes dissappears so quickly if you have a drama!!

FIngers crossed no one has any major dramas

Sorry Steve, should have been a bit clearer. I use RE55's, and I wouldn't want to pay for, say, RT615's just for one event when I wouldn't use them again. :D

No probs mate :ninja: (i know what you mean, i hate paying for street tyres)

Nah, I'm looking to buy one at the moment. I'm probably going to go with Brown Davis here in Vic, which is who Troy had his cage made through. Just have to go and discuss plans with him and get a quote.

I spoke with Bond on the phone a few months back, and I wasn't too happy with the price, considering I needed to have it put together here, and there is still some modification required. I also didn't like his attitude too much, but was just curious to see what prices you got.

Oooh, are they pricey?

Yeah i got a price of $880, and i got the same service for free

I got Bruce Dumbit at NRW Rollcages in QLD to make and install mine. was hassle free. I priced up a bond cage too and thought it was a bit pricy for something that was not fitted etc.

Full cage of half?

They seem quite reasonable, but it depends what you want I guess. He's going to show me some designs, and I'll let ya know. I'm hoping to get down there this weekend.

Check the rollcage thread, Troy's cost around the same as your quote, but that's installed. Was your quote installed by them?

Sweet, at least we have sorted the so called 'PRO' driver thing out.

Normally for motorsport you need to have a high standard to enter events if there is a driving standard involved.

I have never been paid so I am entering in both classes :D

At any level of sport you have different levels of skill and this event should be about putting on a show to the public and showing them the full potential of these motor vehicles.

A number of workshops that I know of do not have vehicles eligable for open class and were wanting to run in the clubsprint class. They have drivers for there cars so that they can show off there products to the public and be as competitive as they possibly can. Why should we limit the driving standards!!!!! I am trying not to swear.

Anyhow, what chance do I have......both of the cars that I am driving only have 4 cylinders and one diff!!

If your a workshop and entered in the clubman class one would think that there wouldn't be much to show off besides bodykits and wheels, not trying to be rude but if I had a workshop I'd want to show the public how competitive the car can be on semi comps not shitty street tyres.. But hey, that's just me.... :D

Unfortunately the rules cannot accomodate for everybody, so I reckon we just get out there and have some FUN!! AND PLENTY OF DRINKS AFTERWARDS!!!! :D

And FUN it should and will be. This is what events with cars and good like minded people are about :cheers:

There are some pretty good tyres available for clubsprint. And you are right Jack, about these workshops with 'BLING'

It is just some of them do not have proper cars set up for open class.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year.
