Hey guys,

Some AWESOME news!

Ive worked my magic with our insurance company, long story short the costs for this event have been reduced.

What does that mean for you?

The Texi entry fee has been changed, by more than HALF! Thats right, HALF!

The day now is $40 per driver

So you've got to ask yourself; How can you go wrong for $40???

Is your entry form in yet?.........If not - enter, NOW!

Form attached and general event thread is linked below

Cheers

-Steve

Borrow a car from your parents/sister/brother/best mate/girlfriend or whoever!!! This is the kind of event where you DON'T need to have heaps of power to get around the course quickly, as it's all about being able to maneouvre around the cones as efficiently as possible. But more than that, just get out there and HAVE SOME FUN!

This is the kind of event that you'd bring along your vid-cam to! :)

If you don't have one, get a loan of one! :yes:

The footage alone is worth more than the 40 bucks! :yes:

Ever seen an advertising billboard goin' sideways across your front windscreen? :D

And if your handycam isn't fixed to your car, it'd be worth having a trusty SAUer (or shotgun) film you doin' it :D

Extinguishers!!!!!!

answer me!

Needs to be installed and not loose..... some options are to use a pre existing bolt point, or remove passanger seat and use some mounting points from that...

does it have to be bolted?

Like I can cable tie it yeah?

Bolted = Yes

Cable Tied = I'll let an official organiser / scrutineer answer that.

Any motorsport i partake in, cable ties wouldnt suffice.

edit - I read the entry form

whats the go with extinguisher? I dont really want to drill holes in the golf to mount.

Come on Jase you've been around long enough to know :D

Must be secured, if the scruitineer gives it a shake and it moves you're not going to pass. Also the extinguisher has to easily accessible from the drivers seat, so if you "were" to do the cable ties you'll have to use a shitload of them and make sure none of them interfere with the extinguisher coming out in a hurry. In saying that though, I wont accept cable ties on the day and scruitineers will be told the same.

I know a car like your wont have a problem/need for the extinguisher, but insurance is a PITA and we have to do what they say :D

The best way to do it is like this (i dont want to drill in the supra so ive done this using the existing bolts);

Yeah I do know, but I wanted to know the scruitineers/your opinion on how it should be attached......in non permanent ways as opposed to someone who wants to have it permanent or didnt mind making holes.

Thats the answer I was after.

I'll have a look into how hard that will be. because I really dont wanna be drilling holes and shit.

I'll give it a go.

Good stuff :P

Note in my setup there's no perm holes, the screws into the wood dont go through the wood to the carpet, once i dont need it i just undo the bolts on the seat rails, slide the brakets out then put the seat rail bolts back in - no one will ever know

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
