1st of all, Id call one of the blcc members (contacts on their website via the supp regs)

and see how many spots are left.

If you pay into the sau nsw account and pm an exec, we can keep an eye on it, once thats done, apply for cams licence. this is the longest part but they can fax you a 30 day temp licence if its too close to the event

God damn, been looking for my CAMS license for a few days now and nothing. I'm gonna email them tomorrow to get a new book.

If anyone's got their L2S handy, does this look like the license number so i can get the forms off tomorrow - ARTRX417966

firstly, BLCC are a shitload more organised than SAU have ever been. They organise multiple events per year on a public road under a cams permit including state and national champs which means they deal with CAMS (permits, stewards, CoC, flaggies etc), local council, rta etc etc. I don't know of any club that confirms entries. Don't forget like all other clubs these guys are all volunteers, doing this for nothing other than to let you enjoy competing in their event.

Gus - you can join the club and get a L2S license on day since there are SAU club execs if you can't get it organised beforehand.

Bobby, you need a license to compete not enter. Just put TBA on the form if you don't have a license # yet. Like Chris said its a 1xxxxxx number, but if the number is not through yet you can either use a 21 day temp license (from a club exec) or get a license confirmation faxed through in the week before.

Anyway....great turn out everyone, it will be a good weekend. I'm not going to get my entry in until I know the car is running, but it looks pretty good as long as there are still spots free for us.

Thanks Dunc,

I'll send them off tomorrow then. Hopefully as it's a reprint and not a new, they'll just send out a new passbook.

Cheers

*shiver* I'm getting those familiar shakes... the hearts thumpin'...

I wanna goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

SDMA working bee or Speed Weekend? Let my club down... Speed Weekend?

This is cruel!!

Whats Neil got to say for himself? He should be at this.

Bugger you Weevil... I had myself convinced that going to Bathurst next week, Morgan Park the weekend after, followed by OzBOSS at Wakie would be enough for the year and now I know you guys are going????? I'm so weak LOL

LOL

I was wondering when you were going to post Michele! :wave::ermm:

Duncan - hopefully 3rd time lucky mate! I remember last 2 years you had drama's and couldnt make it, fingers crossed for you mate :D

Yeah as Duncan said, if you guys need a club exec to sign anything, I'll be there ;) thats what Im here for!

LOL

I was wondering when you were going to post Michele! :D;)

You know the right buttons to press... SPEED weekend, here we come :(;):):):) :)

I've entered the open wheeler and also entered Mark in the GTR, so we've got two cars going. The GTR is such a princess these days, I wonder what she'll think of doing a bit of work for a change??

Now I have to break the news to SDMA that we won't be attending the working bee with the grader *guilty look* before Jeno (Tarmac) dobs me in.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
