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::/ )

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
