Spectating is free and more than welcome at DECA...So head to Shepparton, turn up at DECA anytime between 8am and 4pm and enjoy the show :D

You can also introduce yourself to some members, and if you're lucky someone might offer you a ride as passenger on the skidpan :P

Well my car is off the road again..

But that wont stop me from being there.

In saying that.

If any of you guys/gals want to come to DECA and help out that would be fantastic.

We will need people to be Officials on the day .

Forget about just coming down for a look. As soon as you see the skidpan you'll wish you had entered. This is grass roots motorsport. You can go as slow or as fast as you like and it's all for fun. Just put in an entry form.

Passengers are allowed all day, but must sign a passenger disclaimer form, and also must wear a helmet.

On another note the SAU motorsport committee will be keeping a close eye on the weather leading up to this event. If the forcast is for 40+ degrees we will be looking to postpone / cancell this event.

It's just too much for us to ask officials to stand out in that heat for even a couple of hours and most cars wont appreciate it either. Hopefully the forcast is for a warm day, but not as extreme as last weekend.

When is the latest I could confirm by fax and pay? I need to make sure my car will be ready for then. Unless it's refundable?

Sorry to pester - just wondering if someone could answer this?

I'd say as long as the list is not full but it'll very helpfull if you can fax your application in in advance so that the Motorsport committee can have a rough ideas of how many entrants have they got on hand.

Thanks for the replys guys ill defiantly try and get down on the day and have a look.

I'd love to enter a car down there but the lancer needs some new tyres and in bad need of a new clutch

but as soon as its fixed ill be up for some events.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
