Thanks, looking to join the club and do the DT.

I take it that Winton is one of the better places to do driver training?

First timers, like me, might want to take a quick look at this doc from the WRX forums

Winton is a great track if your starting out. its a relatively low speed circuit, quite technical but with plenty of run off.

its a good one to develope your driving skills, they say if you can master winton, you can master any circuit! :(

Oh o :(

"Noise emission level is limited to 75dB(A) at 30 metres. Entrants who fail the drive-by 75dB reading will

get 1 (one) chance to rectify the problem and will be excluded if the car fails on a second reading"

Is this enforced at Winton? I thought they were a 95db track.

What's the go with accomodation, from what I can see there's only a few places left with those dates available.

I can see there's also a few self contained cottage things available for 77-105 a night which cuold be good if people are interested in sharing.

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to enter this event. It will be my first event with SAU (normally just drift with VDC). Whats the go with Rollcages? I read the entry form and it says the event is held under ASAA. But then read the rules and regs and it said it has to be cams approved, same story with harnesses too...

If anybody could clear it up for me that would be great!

Cheers

Rob

If anyone needs clarification on anything unclear in the supp regs, you will need to contact the motorsport director of the WRX Club - this event is run by them and they set the rules.

His name is Justin and you can get him on [email protected]

Just avoids anyone here giving you incorrect info and then you being disappointed on teh day - best to get the answer straight from the horses mouth.

We've booked a cabin and we're in with the rest of you so should be fun. We'll just be staying the Saturday night and will drive up in the morning on Saturday and meet you all at Winton.

All of my friends bailed on me so it'll just be me and the missus this time but if DECA shep was anything to go by there's more than enough friendly people around to make up for it.

Side note: The 18th is my birthday so I might be in fine form on the Saturday night :)

EDIT: As this will be my first sprint in this car and I barely know it I'm going to do Driver Training ;) Do you get to choose the Trainer?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
