don;t worry the pits at wakie are nice and flat, not like oran park. no chocks required there

just park the car with handbrake off and out of gear when you finish. And take it easy on the cooldown lap, and do a lap or 2 of the pits if you think they are still too hot

lol, im not freezing at wakefield anymore. That place is as cold as ice this time of the year

Here's the list for scruitineering:

-No loose items in the cabin

-No fluid leaks

-Brake lights working

-Some tread left on tyres

-Secure panels

-no loose seats, seatbelts

-checking fire extingushers if there is any.

-checking helmets

-checking apparel if there are any

-wheelnuts

-cabin is fully sealed off

Guys is easier to fix any issues now, rather than on the day

Just another newbie question regarding the definition of loose items. Are items such as laptops, dataloggers and thermocouple readers etc allowed??..

I am assuming yes as long as they are strapped or tapped down and not free to move around the car??? I was going to make some brackets and use velcro straps, cable ties or gaffa tape???

Nope, sorry not allowed.

Anything that isn't welded, or screwed in is prohibited.

Edit: Unless you want to keep your dataloggers in the glove box (must be shut), that I will allow.

If it is bolted does it need to be bolted to car body or will bolting to the console do??

Also with the Wakie license I take it we get that from Wakefiled admin people first thing in the morning before scruitineering??

Wakie license yes at the admin office. You might want to go through scrutineering first as you will be in one of the first groups and there will be a line.

As in bolting to the centre console?

If you could make a steal bracket and bolt it to a structural point that would be fine.

But it would be hard for me to say yes over the net for something I haven't seen. If you want we can talk about this over PM or if you come down to mikes the night before I can try and help you figure something out.

    • 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.
