Crap!

Let me speak with Simon @ MOB and I'll work out other arrangements. Will either be day before (Saturday 9th May) or the week after (Sunday 17th May).

Spoke with Simon.

Next BBQ meet will be Saturday 9th May @ 1pm @ Ministry of Bass, 1205 South Road, St Marys.

I will start a fresh thread for this meet.

:P

Sorry guys, but if I danced around for everyone, then a date would never be set.

So I'm catering for all the mothers out there and avoiding Mother's Day. Its done and I'm not changing it now.

Can't make it, then see if you can send a proxy or PM me, or meet me at one of the usual hangouts.

:P

lol this is exactly my point, what's the point of a CAMS affiliated club if ur basically shunning people who actually regularly attend CAMS events?

I'd say its a coincidence. Mothers day is unfortunate, I would have come anyhow, and still do plan to attend the sat but thems the breaks. Can't cater to everyone - I myself didn't know there was a track day because I'm not really paying attention to that right about now. Once the club is up and running I'm sure the committee will endeavour to hold it at times compatible to the majority of cams schedules (bear in mind there are a load of events, sometimes a cams event may just coincide with a planned club event. these things do happen, but I can say that its in everyones interests that we keep cams days and club days separate (unless theyre in support of each other :))

-D

i basically said the money the club gets from its members is the clubs bank balance, no members = no money, no money = NO up front paid private track days, NO advertising materials eg banners and shirts, stickers and so on wont be printed up front and in stock at any time.

If you had taken some interest in the club from the beginning and had attended the meeting you would know that there is already a source of money that the club use and get it up and running even if there are only a few members to begin with, not all money has to come from members joining.

I imagine though you are not particularly interested in joining the club but here to perhaps stir a little brown stuff, so really why would you bother posting here and wasting your obviously precious time and thoughts.

So unless you have ways to get involved and help to get the club on its feet and through its first year how about entertaining yourself in another thread :)

Shane i thought you would have been older enough to know better........READ ALL MY POST CAREFULLY and it will answer ALL of your questions about why i had not gone to the meeting or to why i dont want to join.

Last time i looked it was a open forum, where ANYONE can post their thoughts as you have done........Well Done, If you dont like what i have written then simple, dont continue to read it, dont reply, Once again i thought you would be old enough to know and understand this, If you and the rest of the people on here cant take constructive critisism then thats your problem, not mine. Like i said im far from being here to win friends, im just posting my and what seems to be alot of peoples views on this matter, and alot of you are seeming to read what has been written the wrong way, once again, not my problem!!

If you guys dont want the likes of me sharing info, then pay the money up front get the club registered and create a "Private Section" where all you ladies can organize all your meetings at Villis and West Tce.

Sorry to put your name and your mates name Martin down to the organizers to help out, seems as tho i am in the wrong again?? just cant please all the ladies out there can ya!!

Wanna be friends on Facebook again?? :):(

Your making me want to go fishing again Shane, stop it!! :)

Indeed, I've already made a donation.... but I appreciate Deluxes post and viewpoint and I believe that before too long all his questions will be answered :(

I wont say any more because at this stage I just want to see a basic structure made, and enough cash raised to establish the thing, then set a reasonable annual fee and a truly democratic structure.... I think its in the best interests of the club that everyone on the organisation committee (me, others, etc) exclude themselves from the nominated positions to ensure transparency... because a lot of you guys out there think that we're doing this to start a personality cult or something else (I've heard some bizarre points lately so you'll excuse the theatrics)... its all good, we're going to run it by the numbers, note down everything and everything will be done via ballot. i'm going to advise that after the first 3 months there are elections for new committee and afterwards it'd be done on an annual basis

however, thats just my personal agenda. if anyone else has anything constructive that they think we should be aware of, please do post. The keyword is constructive criticism (which many of you have given us some excellent ideas so far, so thankyou guys!) but comments like 'your ideas r teh sux' will mostly be ignore unless they are followed with an argument as to just >why< they suck :)

-D

Edit - Would just also like to add - this isnt some clique. I'm not part of any weekly meets, and neither are many of the people who want to see this get off the ground. I just don't understand why ya'll are saying that it has anything to do with villis or bp meets aside from a couple of members being on the interim committee...(since I rather hate the location personally, i dont bother going most nights since its after work for me ;P)

Edited by Dohmar
Why do some people make out Villis and West Tce like such a bad place? Is it because its not a different fancy restaurant location everytime with meals costing an arm and a leg?(yes, exaggerated)

i dunno man, it just seems like running the gauntlet from where i come from, that and the fact i'm semi blind and the lack of lighting does nothing for me ;P

yeah they make dope pies... and its good for the impromptu meets... i cant argue that

its just cause its so common, i generally cbf after work ;D

however if a dinner was at a curry bar or some kinda azn, then i'd be there like a fat kid to a pie eating competition >:thumbsup:

does anyone out there have a paddock where we might be able to execute a sheep and chuck it on a bonfire until we can sup upon the roasted flesh ?

-D

a few people feel to intimated to join the meets at the likes of Vilis and BP me thinks, the so called "family" is just a group of friends that once, didnt know each other from a bar of soap, but attended a few regular meets, its not about becoming best of friends omg i want you as my best man, but everyone gets along, thats what the club is about. anyone is more than welcome!

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
