Yeah it was 4-5 in the end but that was just to cover the hire and insurance costs, nothing towards the capital purchases we were making. There is still an event per month to go this year and the Texikhana theme is not dead.

thanks to the wanks that gave us false hope..... we should kick them out of sau, there no help anyway lol

Now I don't think that's very fair Kujotk, I'm sure everyone tried hard to get the numbers together, but in times where petrol is hurting the hip pocket the most, and being in another state, needing an over night stay, the money quickly adds up before you even get onto the track... I don't even enter and it's quite easily a $300 weekend.

There are still plenty more events throughout the rest of the year, and we have some plans for more events in the future. This is more of a hickup then a major problem :P

im still shitty and will be untill i finnish a few beers of tonight....... also this had a track and a pan, i havent seen anything else like this except for the previous texi and this would have been the ultimate beginners introduction to get to know my car better...... i'll be looking forward to other events....

haha, I'm already a few beers in... hence the calmness :P

Texi is in no way dead, we were never going back to Sutton anyway due to problems that arose... We are looking for a replacement, and although it won't be exactly the same, it will be just as good :)

That's right, we've already found a tentative venue which is promising, so soon the process will begin on securing it so we can organise our next Texi. Even better, if this venue is the go, then it's going to be nice and local, so there's a minimum saving of roughly $200 per entrant because we won't have to worry about driving down, overnight accommodation, and getting back the next day.

this sounds excellent..... ive been looking online and in an old gregorys 13th edition 1995 street directory to see what i could find and once upon a time i recon amaroo park would have been nice and local, only 10min drive from my place lol

how about we ask a bunnings for use of their car park after they close on a sunday night lol,,,,,

also can we make this new event as soon as possible, and if this new place suits us, is there a rough estimate of what month this will be held?

maby its too soon to ask but im just keen to go

Yeah, it's a shame Sydney's lost soooo many race venues over the years - Amaroo Park, Castlereagh drag strip, and probably at least another 2-3 more... Oran park has been sold to developers and will be converted to a housing estate in the not-too-distant future, so do yourselves a favour and get out there and use it while it still exists!

Did you know that before Westmead Hospital was built that that site was the old venue for what became Parramatta City Raceway?

Bunnings car-park is probably a little to no chance of happening, unfortunately...

We've got no idea when this new "replacement" event will take place, considering the Texi was only cancelled today. We've got to make sure we can use the venue, then find an available date, and go from there...

thought i might mention i'm still a texi virgin...... i want to loose it asap.... i hate being a virgin..... im a skyline owner whos a texi virgin *hangs head in shame*

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
