my first thoughts when i saw the title was, rofl, but after reading, its just a lol.

Seems like a decent chance for some dodgy people to make an easy 20k. It really isnt hard to make quality fliers, even if your a dumbass drug dealer. It means the person who dropped the card can be very selective about who meets where, they could name 20 locations for 20 people with 2k cash each, and i doubt they take Visa. Not like if you got robbed you could go to the cops "yeah i was invited to this illegal organised street race for the chance to win 20k by dragging my illegal car down a public road, and i got mugged, help"

Sounds, as Troy said, more like an American cop tactic. Sapol has bigger shit to deal with.

It definately is Craig, stuff like that doesn't happen to you everyday. Shit, maybe this is for real? If the government can have secret underground bunkers at the RAAF base, well i assume anyway :blink:, then a bunch of kids with too much money can meet for 30 mins, win 20k, and be done with it.

This was the organiser of the last meet:

Went really well. Managed to Pink Slip this car:

Until this dick came along and raced me:

Along with his woman with the square face:

But it doesn't matter how you race your car, it's how you stand by your car:

In the end, I stood back, and watched these 2 race the quater mile:

But then this happened:

So now I'm stuck with this knob:

But, it can't be all that bad...

...Or can it?!?!

F************************ck!!

Realistic organised street race is:

Entry fee - one tank of fuel and a knob on ya forehead

Prize - speeding ticket, loss of licence, car impounded, butt of all jokes for the next month ... but you could always go to ns.com for sympathy and start a cop hating posse.

i sent an enquiry last night to test the reply....made it sound legit as im fairly high profile as well as the car...i also know Ben and Mark at Hypertune so told them to check my cred. with them.

still nothing.

Cronic, +10 points to Gryffindor!

The difference between this and the one on ns.com is we have the number, they never posted the number on NS. I think if anyone gets a txt reply immediately call them, since if its a real phone (and not computer generated) the owner will most probably have it turned on, so it'll ring, and hopefully answer.

But I have been warned about a mugging technique. Forgot if someone told me in person or it was on NS or here or where, but pretty much they put something on your wipers, you get in the car, start the engine/put phone and wallet down/etc then see the paper. so you then get out of the car and the scum jump from the bushes into your car while you're getting the paper and either steal your shit, bash you, steal your car, whatever. The paper is just something to take your attention and get you out of the car.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure I'd see some paper before I get in the car.

The trick was that the paper/letter would be stuck to the back window. So you'd be out the car at the rear of it, when the thief nicks it.

If you see any note attached to your car, deal with it later.

Or continue to walk past your car is if its not yours, but remove the note on the way thru, screw it up and toss it. Then see if anyone comes out of a hiding spot within the next minute or so.

If you actually read it, it doesn't state that its street racing. Who's to say they aren't hiring out Goolwa Air Strip and using it for drags? Been done quite a few times by Torana club - might be legitimate form of racing.....

but still a wankerish way to promote it.

Now theres a thought ...

Why don't we hire out an air strip for some drag racing? Cars and Bikes to make it economical.

I could check out whats involved with items like disclaimers and insurances etc. :P

Nothing is worth the paper its written on anymore. But I'm going to contact the CAMS office and find a bit more info. I might even start with Cafe Racers and mock up a form like theirs. I'll get my MA competitors log book out and find out more.

Once I know liability issues are sorted, then I'll see if we can 'borrow' an airstrip for a day. Client of ours has an airstrip down at Goolwa way ... see if I can invite him out to lunch for a chat. He'd wanna be assured we have insurance for the day, and not rely on him being liable.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
