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::/ )

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
