Ok, well, without sounding like we're intruding on Cam, cam, how about next weekend? 24/25th? I know it's Australia day weekend, or perhaps we'll just leave it until 31st Jan/1 Feb to do it?

That way, most of the guys can do it.

We've got 7 or 8 guys so far, and it'd be nice to get it all done at once I guess :P

Ok, enough piss farting around.

We're doing it on 31 January.

We'll meet at Car Quest around 10:30/11:00, get the gauges (and do a bit of window shopping obviously) and then head to Garage Malaga (Cam's place) for a 12:00/12:30 start.

For those that want to, I can PM you with my Bank details so you can Direct Deposit the money to me, and I can pick them up in one go, or, you can actually pay for them yourself at the store on the day (paying yourself on the day would be preferred).

So far this is the list:

Me

Caminperth

Zanda

fane

25GTT

Strich9ine (?)

Nexus_Six

Dan_the_man

Any questions, let me know.

Jason.

my 21st birthday partay is on the 31st so without pissing everyone off by not helping set shit up i cant do it the 31st :)

i will send money to you jason please tho if you could pic me one up that would be greatly appreciated... then maybe i'll get some hints off you once you guys have all done it :) oh well shit happens :P

fane, not a problem. I will PM you my bank details sometime tonight and you can just deposit it straight through.

Now I'm East Perth, is that going to be a problem for you to collect the gauges?

Jase.

fane, I'll pm you my bank account details tomorrow and you can transfer it when you're ready :mad:

Sorry I haven't sent you the details earlier.

And for those that are interested but haven't given a definate, please let me know no later than Monday 26th January so the guy can make sure he has enough for us all.

Jason.

just a reminder .. this is this saturday (31st Jan)

fane, you WILL get my bank details tonight :D also, I can give you the dials on Sunday at the York cruise, if you're going.

hopefully all of you who said you're in, are in, if not, drop me a PM and we'll sort something out.

Jason.

Ok, there is a problem.

Carquest DO NOT have enough gauges for us. Apparently, someone who was getting the gauges as part of the group buy went in a couple of weeks ago and was told by the guy @ Carquest to tell me that he wouldn't have enough (Personally, I find that a bit hard to believe).

I have rang around yesterday and today and have found that Evolution R can do the gauges for us, still at $135 (plus $10 for installing if anyone wants them to do it), but will need to order them from Thailand (No Riaz, we will NOT get them to ship over a small boy for you).

The order will take 7 to 10 days to get here, so if they are sent Friday 30th January, expect them to arrive during the week of the 9th of February.

If you want the gauges, I am going to have to ask for either:

1. a $30 deposit

2. full payment of $135 per set

Personally, I don't want to be responsible for your money, and would prefer the $30 deposit, but if you really want, you can direct deposit the entire $135 in to my account.

Could I PLEASE have definate confirmations as to who wants them by NO LATER than tomorrow night so I can place the order with Evolution R.

Also, as Cam may not have access to the warehouse at that stage, I think it would be a good idea if we got Evolution R to show us how to do it on one car, and then do the rest there. They have already advised me that they are happy to do this for us and it should only take 30 minutes max to do each car (so if we watch them, then each of us do our own cars, we won't be there that long).

I suggest we do it on Saturday 14th, then that way we are guaranteed the gauges will be there.

Now, I hope this rant wasn't too long, but please call me on 0412 527 661 to CONFIRM that you want gauges and to arrange to give me the deposit/full amount.

Jason.

its okay Jason, the last boy your brought back is still going strong. I feed him at least twice a day :P

now here is an interesting idea. Does anyone want to stick like these APEXi stickers or HKS stickers onto the gauge faces as well. The way I c it, we can organise through memphis to get a sheet or tiny apexi or trust or greddy or hks etc sticker made, so that we stick them to the gauge before install, so once it is in the cluster it will look like an apexi gauge for example.

and no one will ever know

seriously it should be hella cheap through russell and i am sure he will do a smicko job,

then we peel and stick and walla. hardcore jap stylee

let me know so I can beg him asap

thanks

RiaZ

Definately in for 2 sets...i will have the deposit as i am available @ this time so i dont need you to get them for me jason :D

i can come fore the group install also :P

So put me down for 2. thanks.

PS. Riaz, get us a price and im in... :D im keen for hks, nismo, apexi, greddy, trust or blitz any of them are fine.

That's better.

I can be in for the mid-feb install now! (almost had to send you a PM about it Jason to say I had to cancel!)

I should have the coin by 9th Feb!

And Russell should do my sticker for free! (Are you alive Russ?) I still want my "Only cheap wine comes in 5 litres" sticker! (will trade for coin!)

So you need $30 deposit aight... PM me your bank details and I can transfer it tonight Jason! :P

THAT DATE WORKS OUT SWEEET! AS I HAD TO WORK THIS WEEKEND!! OK so $30 deposit needed this weekend? i can have all the money for ya if you like Jas whatever is easy for ya, might also have boost gauge then aswell therefore get dials and boost gauge at the same time YEAH!! As a worse case I will give evolution R the $10 so everyone can watch.. it's all good!

$10 for the stickers from russell

but that is for like a sheet

so who wants to put in $5 each or something

i am not sure how many will be on a sheet

they also need to be 1cm tall

MY SUGGESTION IS GREDDY as its italic sorta style will look good.

or HKS as russell can only do it in 1 colour. black being the obvious choice.

so APEXi with the red etc wont fly

please PM memphis or email him through his web page etc to order your stickers for the gauges.

PEACE

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
