problem with sa car scene is its too full of big headed wankers, which makes things like SCS fail, because everyone takes the attitude of 'rice this, autosalon that'. if you dont have the right offset then how can you be in a car show?

SCS is(was) a good thing for Adelaide, admit it, any car show in Adelaide is a good thing and can only help the scene, the people in the scene is what lets it down.

Thats so true. Everyones bagging out each other's car whinging about this that etc... people were complaining about the car scene dieing in Adelaide earlier this year and when something like this comes up everyone whinges about this and that AGAIN! Its not the organizer's fault that the car show is dieing more and more every year - its because everyone goes around bagging out the show and the cars; in turn making people less incline to want to go or want to enter! Its up to the car enthusiast community to provide the cars for the show AND attend aswell as spreading the words about it... NOT have the attitude of "oh my cars too good for SCS I'm not putting my car in that rah rah rah" + "oh I'm not going to SCS its crap compared with rah rah rah" + "Everyone dont waste your time at SCS its rubbish rah rah rah"...

I'm not pointing this specifically at anyone but more in general theres just too much bad mouthing this and that... wheres the love!?

i agree its most peoples attitide that wreck a good car show atmosphere,

but hey, its the way it going to be.....

thats the world today.

i never got to experience the car culture before it turned sour, hell, i have NEVER had the opportunity

to run any of my cars down the drag strip...

is this the way our kids are going to enjoy there cars?

this seems like the new school mentallity

^^ agree with the comments posted above.

20 bucks for a day out at glenelg, then if you get bored you can go for a drink or swim, and not get sunburnt or couped up in a tent like previous years, plus you get to hang out with your club buddies and check out the other clubs... i don't see any downsides to this event. It should be as good as AJD, if not better.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
