The garages at Wakey are pretty flat anyway, I find my car sits pretty sweet without leaving it in gear or with the handbrake up. Chocs can't hurt for an extra bit of insurance though ;)

Hey what's the go with garages on the day, do you need to book in advance or is it part of the deal?

I'm gonna have suitcases and tools and crap like that so need to put them somewhere.

Cheers

Dave / Everyone.

Garages are first come first serve! But there are heaps of them!!

As for leaving tools about, I have NEVER had any issues with leaving any of my stuff out and about during any track day, be it SAU, Circuit Club, Autosports as it is all a very friendly environment..... I would hate to think that there will be people at our day who would consider 'taking' stuff.

I have a set of old aircraft chocs, for any act people who want to borrow them. (stupid 4wd system being farked :rofl2: )

I'll borrow them CJ! You're coming right? So you can bring them with you?

Dam looks like im going to miss this, wont get the gearbox and new suspension back in time

I seem to remember you owning a skyline Jas!

Gonna be pretty epicly tired.. got 2 days off between now and the friday that im heading down.. Stupid work

Thanks everybody for your response to this day.

We are now full, so please do not send any further payments. Any payments we receive after today will be refunded.

We are happy to run a waiting list for spots, so if you still want to coming along please post up your interest for the waiting list.

It is great to be able to fill this event, and it means we can afford to keep running them - so we will organise another one (or maybe 2!) for next year.

Haha True :rolleyes: lol

Might come down to watch if i get a chance, ill teach you what to do on the dirt haha

***** UPDATE 01/07/2010 - EVENT IS NOW FULL *****

AWESOME STUFF LADIES N GENTS! WE ARE NOW FULL AND ALL DRIVER ENTRIES ARE CLOSED!!!

We will still accept passenger payments, but considering we are taking payment on the day, just as easy to pay then!!

As Duncan said, it is bloody awesome to see we were able to fill this event with ease! Shows people are keen to get out and have a go and make this a worth while venture for the exec commitee for SAU:NSW!!!!

Thanks for all your support!! Stay tuned as over the next few days i will organise groups and further finer details for the day!!!

:):down::P:rolleyes::cool:

The two Evo's juuuussstttt made it in.. haha!

How are the organisers managing groups..?

That would be me organising groups......

I am grouping entrants by experience and previous times.

I am looking at having 4 or 5 groups of 9 to maybe 12 cars in each. Each group has anywhere from 12-15 minute runs (including out lap, hot laps and in lap) so that way you are getting 1 run an hour.

You are going to end up getting about 6-8 HOT LAPS in per session, so plenty of time to 'learn the trade'

As mentioned above, i will be looking into this, sorting it all out over the next few days and will post final groupings shortly.

Hi Chris

It seems this drive day is full. I'm still keen to go. Let me know if someone drops out.

Regards

Allan/Hammer

Gents - can we please put Allan on the reserves list please? He is from mx5cartalk forums.

:)

Well guys I haven't made the grade... but I do have the car running and nearly ready for tuning... just need to replace a few sensors and then put some decent oil into it.

However, seeing as there won't be another SAU track day for a while I may start to move a few things around... make sure it is ship shape for next time...

Have fun guys and girls!

Stay sidewayz Kidz! (But not at the SAU track day :D)

Dan.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
