Guys and girls please note:

We are also looking for volunteers for Texikhana as these events. They just cannot happen without the help of lovely volunteers that dedicate their time and efforts to a sport they love the most.

This is your chance to get as close to the action as possible without taking part! So if your not thinking about entering but still want to come how about lending a hand instead...

For your time and dedication we will supply a free lunch and drinks to the volunteers & a discount on the next Texikhana you enter. You will also get to sit on one of our new comfy SAU camping chairs to watch all the action & more! There will be a brake around midday for a BBQ and you will get to change positions around the day.

SAU is also looking for anyone who has done a first aid course or similar.

If anyone can think of their wife/husband/girlfriend etc.. who would like to be involved they are most welcome as well.

All volunteers must be 18years and over

Cheers!

Sounds fine to me. Are you also timing the skid pan? you need to get DRDOOF out there then we can have a 3 way Steve thing going :D

lol, you want to see a steve 3some?

Yep, skidpan is timed aswel

Make sure everyone fills in the entry forms, we've only received 4 so far.. has anyone had any issues with it - you should get a confirmation email with all your details you submitted..

Also - i'm keen to help out as a volunteer - don't think the car will be ready..

Question about the Saturday afternoon - Are we all meeting somewhere at the start of the Hume Hwy and cruising down as a group or is it fend for yourself?

Yes, once it comes closer to the date we will post it up. There is a meeting spot near the M5 near kingsgrove.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
