Hi guys, Juliette from the forums told me to check this event out so ive joined up on the forums.

I'm pretty keen to do a motorkhana, it sounds like it would be a lot of fun (from the name anyway!). However, ive never done one before.. Can anyone give me a quick rundown on it, like the sorts of things they have you doing, whats involved, etc.

Also, it has a clause saying that the car must be 'roadworthy'.. I have a dedicated track car i plan to bring, which passes scrutineering for the sprints at Winton, but im sure wouldnt be considered as roadworthy by VICRoads :) . Can anyone clear up what the entry means by the term 'roadworthy' in this instance?

Thanks!!!!

Hayley

As long as it isnt a buck of shit datsun it should be fine.

The sup regs outlines everything anyway, i think, Crossy wanna clarify this?

I wont be coming to this one, got something up in Syd that weekend.

Mardi Gras? :)

No leaks, no belts(tyres), yes belts(or harness), secure panels, fire extinguisher... if its race worthy, it should be fine. This is what i gathered from the cars i saw there, the scrutineer should post at some point

Roadworthy mostly refers to your car having tread on the tyres and being safely (somewhat subjective) drivable...keep in mind that if your track car is running full slicks then you'll be penalised with timing.

The above is correct.

also:

- No loose items in the car. this includes glovebox and boot. also take out drivers foot mat.

- Battery secured properly. no cable ties.

- CHECK YOUR WHEEL NUTS ARE TIGHT

- Fire extinguisher is to be BOLTED in. not screwed or cable tied.

- Helmet must have adr sticker on it.

Fantastic thanks, i get it now!! OOO really wanna go!!

One more question though, maybe im too blind to see it, but do you have to be part of a club (someone mentioned i may have to)? Im a forum member on the WRX forums, and now i have signed up here, however i am not an official paid member of any club. If so, I might have to look into getting a membership somewhere

Yeah gotta be a financial member of a car club.

Unfortunatly I am out for this one... couple of the other guys will be taking over the Scruitineering.

I really must stress Ryans 4th point there...

This is the worst prepared item by the majority of entrants at every DECA...

If you are going to enter... please check you fire extinguisher is BOLTED FIRMLY to your car....

If you are not sure... mount it in and then grab it and shake it vigirously... if it doesn't move it all you have done a good job.

Just imagine to if you are in some sort of accident and your flimsy bracket or cable ties let go....

helmet or not... a fire extinguisher is gonna leave a big hole through your head!

Apart from the obvious persoanl ramifications - i.e. death....

We simply just can't be bothered with the paper work, and DECA management don't appreciate blood on their skid pan... (Its a pain to clean off) :(:P:P

/rant....

Hope you all have a great time...

and hope to be back out there soon... (with an extra 2 cylinders :cool::down::/ )

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
