i emailed terry the other day and he told me there were no spots left.....what's the story?

Yeah all spots gone so its $200 for the day for those that got in.!! $200 for a open day is a bargain.

If you missed out come down for a free joy ride.

No cash has left my hands yet, Need some stuff done to the car and watching for the weather, I wont run at a 30Deg + day.

Bonks, will pop out at a minimum, but I am planning to drive.

Excellent - look forward to seeing you!

If it rains I will be there pay my $200 and take the place of the fags that are scared of a little wet weather. Either way I will be out on the day. I hope to do my thing and pay for a slot once the first car pops or looses it.

  • 2 weeks later...

Oh I WISH my car was going... would come down for the day anyway, but the boss is away and it's overtime for me in the morning... next one that is on someone please RING ME!!!!

2002 reunion, and I'm gonna miss it. :P

LOL, I can't believe it... B-man might even be there. :thumbsup:

Bonkers, fatz, kero, OZ, there is not too many missing.

And the original stomping ground... shame EC hate drifting hey Fatz...

Top Gear crew will be filming before and after on the day - so maybe i will pick up the shitter pete - they would lovethat kind of shit. :devil:

10) We understand that the Top Gear guys will be on track up to 9AM and after 5PM doing filming. If they hang around please be nice to them as we may get some publicity for club level motorsport. If they sign on you will be permitted to take them as passengers. Who knows, you could end up a TV Star.
1) We have a full field of 50 cars now that those who have dropped out are replaced with those on standby.

2) Please make sure you bring the completed forms with you AND your CAMS license plus club member card. They should both be current. Some folks forget to insert the new bits.

3) Passengers only need to have filled in and signed the form, plus have the right helmet and clothes to get an armband from us at Garage 50. They should see Val Stewart, she is the pretty one, Drivers have to see me, the ugly old grump sitting next to her.

4) There will be no fuel available at the track as the stock on hand is reserved for BMW next week.

BYO please, It’s cheaper that way. Refuelling must be out the back of the garages. NO SMOKING !

5) Tony Thorne will be in charge of Pit Lane and will give a run down at the drivers briefing to cover the

new automatic lights around the track at flag points. If we get a radio call from the spotters on the hills

he can switch on yellow or red lights right around the circuit or just in one spot. It may replace flaggies

at club events one day so this will give you a chance to get used to it.

6) Age limit on passengers is 14 YO according to ARDC rules.

7) Experienced Drivers may ride as passengers in the one hour sessions to give helpful tips etc.

8) During those one hour passenger sessions only cars with passengers will be allowed out and no passengers in the half hour sessions. Those are for full speed work.

9) If your L2S or renewal license has not arrived from CAMS you should follow it up and get an email or fax to prove that it is in progress. They do have some problems in Melbourne HO. I cannot take your word for it I am afraid. Too many people have lied to me over the years.

10) We understand that the Top Gear guys will be on track up to 9AM and after 5PM doing filming. If they hang around please be nice to them as we may get some publicity for club level motorsport. If they sign on you will be permitted to take them as passengers. Who knows, you could end up a TV Star.

11) And now, the schedule, Lets’ assume that a bunch of you will be super keen, get there early, be all signed up and ready to go. We will do the driver briefing at 8.45 AM (not 9 AM) and have you ready to go out when Top Gear is finished.

Session 1 – 9 AM - 30 minutes for Race Cars with slicks IE The serious fast cars. (Type 1)

Session 2 – 9.30 AM – 30 minutes for Road Cars and those who wish to go with them. (Type 2)

Session 3 – 10 AM – 60 minutes for all cars to take passengers at reduced pace.

Session 4 – 11 AM – 30 minutes for Type 1 cars

Session 5 – 11.30 AM – 30 minutes for Type 2 cars

Session 6 – 12 noon – 60 minutes for all cars to take passenger rides

Also remember that at 12 .30 to 1 the Prod Sports folks are to break for lunch and their presentations.

Others who have paid for lunch may choose to eat between 12 and about 1.30 when the Caterers finish.

Session 7 – 1 PM – 30 minutes for type 2 cars (yes we swap them around after lunch)

Session 8 – 1.30 PM – 30 minutes for type 1 cars

Session 9 – 2 PM – 60 minutes for all cars to take passenger rides

Session 10 – 3 PM – 30 minutes for type 2 cars

Session 11 – 3.30 PM – 30 minutes for type 1 cars

Session 12 – 4.PM – 60 minutes for all cars to do final passenger rides.

5 PM close of proceedings on track.

That is a possible 6 hours on track if you can muster up enough passengers so bring fuel with you.

I intent to arrive at about 10 with the car ready to go, and pay my money once the first breakdown occurs. This is unless fatz cant find me a spot. Worst case the car stays in the car park and I get to go for a squirt with the boys.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
