Hey guy's, i hope this has not yet been posted but here we go anyways!!

(Feel free 2 delete it if it has already been posted)

I received this email from the mg car club in relation to the proposed new track at raymond terrace (HUNTER VALLY NEAR NEWCASTLE) and i would appreciate it if you could send letter or email of support from you as an individual. One of us will hopefully be addressing the court with our reasons for support, and i would ask that in an email of a support you not refer to yourselves as un racing team members, but as motorsport competitors and entheusiasts. the idea is that we flood the council with emails of support, as it is crucial we are not outnumbered. please read > > > > > > > > >

p.s. forward this to anyone you think will be willing to help!! this would be a testing venue unmatched by any other sale team in the country!!!!!!

HELP MG CCN BUILD A NEW RACE TRACK

an important message to everyone on this forum

M.G.C.C.N. and Motorplex are trying to build a new race track near newcastle.

the plans have been in court for approx 8 years

whilst most people may have thought this was all dead and buried the developer has been working away

slowly and tirelessly the get this development passed.

we now need your help

the council has re advertised the plans and is asking for written submissions

WE NEED NUMBERS AND NOISE

I am asking everyone on this forum to write a letter/email and get all their friends to write a letter/email

it needs to be a letter a signature is no good

and to put this on every other forum you are on whether it be cars ,motorbikes, push bikes anything

this may be the only new race track to get built in N.SW.

thanks in advance

Malcolm Roach

Support the Ringwood Park Motorsport Complex.

The the for the Motorplex Ringwood Park Development upgrade has been re advertised in the

Port Stephens Examiner on Thursday 20 March 2008 by the Port Stephens Council (PSC). Revised plans and the Species Impact Study are on display and the Council has asked for written submissions.

We are asking everyone from all over Australia (especially those who live in the Port Stephens Council area) to support Motorplex and the MG Car Club Committee by writing to the council expressing your SUPPORT for this project.

Facts that may be mentioned, preferably in your own words:

 The revised plans seem to be designed to minimize the affects on all the threatened species populations, their habitats and the ecological communities. The proposed planting of additional flora and trees will significantly enhance the quality of all the Endangered Ecological Community areas.

 Venue for safe Senior & Junior driver development.

 Venue for awareness & defensive driving training.

• Police, Fire, Ambulance & Australia Post.

• High School driver education programs.

• Corrective Services (from the court system).

 Increased tourism, revenue and employment for the Raymond Terrace and surrounding areas.

 Venue for drivers from all over Australia including the Central Coast, Newcastle, Upper & lower Hunter Mid

North Coast as well as Port Stephens to compete in club level motorsport in a safe & controlled environment.

 Venue for Hunter region bicycle road race training & events (safe & off the roads).

 The land is already council approved and used for motorsport (including the drag strip in 1989)

 It would seem that Military Noise is more of a concern in the proposed Kings Hill development than any perceived noise problem from upgrading the Ringwood Park facility.

This may be your last chance to give your opinion to the council. Don't let all our effort of the past seven years be in vain.

This effort has already cost over three quarters of a million dollars let alone the half million dollars plus, cost to the PSC. Much of this could have been used to upgrade the facility.

Also tell the council that you like to address the court about your concerns. (objectors, such as the C.R.A.B.S., group will be doing so). We must not be outnumbered.

Written letters or emails (submissions) must contain your name, address and phone number & have to be received by the council before the 20 April 2008.

A track in Port Stephens would be fantastic, but it's such a tranquil area, I can understand the council's concern about impact on the local environment.

edit: Oh, the track is going to be at Raymond Terrace. Much more suitable area :)

Post up the development plans mate, so we can see what you're asking us to support!

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
