Well it is a tiny bit late notice, but please reply here if you want to come along to the annual SAU Schutzenfest non-car meet-up.

As usual I will go line up with some dedicated helpers around 11:30am next Saturday and reserve a bunch of tables and chairs undercover for the masses.

If you haven't been before it is an AWESOME event with food of many genres (particularly German food), and a whole range of on-tap and canned beverages (including spirits).

Of course there is also some rifle shooting that you can submit for a possible prize if you are good enough.

Temperature is forecast for 35 degrees, so will be an awesome scorcher and will most likely have big spray tents to keep everyone cool (and the guys entertained) :)

It really is a great day, so if you haven't got anything on, come along to Ellis Park at 11:30am onwards - many of us normally pike around 6-7pm, as that is already a good 6-7 hours of drinking.

I will let you all know later this week what shirt I will be wearing if you don't know what my ugly mug looks like :)

New venue here: http://www.schutzenfest.com.au/getting-there/default.php

Confirmed attendees:

- Nightcrawler

- Whiplash

- Red Back

- Reslo

Haha it's not a typo .... you have met Ronan my Irish brother-in-law I think Luke - his nickname is Reslo. But you better be there too fathead :) You too Ben!

hehe i wont be there unfortunately, im saving my pennies (and my liver abuse) to the fishing charter heh

-D

wtf I am off the back of a $2k week in the SE with significant liver abuse (incl. an $830 tab for NYE dinner - ouch my Visa hurts), Schutzenfest next weekend then Australia Day liver festivities before the fishing weekend .... harden up Ben :)

Hmmm, i am still awaiting info about this.

Sorry but all deposits were filled before your interest. We were limited to 8 spots and it was first paid first served. Better luck next time mate

-D

EDIT - And andrew, I'm between contracts atm. I dont have the finances for it atm.

OK peoples, I have just found out that if you pre-buy a ticket for $15.80 you get a free Stein (which we normally pay about $6 for from memory).

Only catch I can see is that if you are coming later in the day, they might run out of Steins (as they do some years).

So if you are coming early and meeting me at the gate around 11:30-12pm Saturday, let me know, I will buy you a ticket online and give the ticket to you on the day. Or go to the Shutzenfest website, follow the links and buy your own.

If you want me to buy one for you (and you fix me up on the day) let me know by tomorrow night, as I will order the tickets then.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
