If think its going to be a lot more work than you think and how are u going to cough up the 20k for the track.

Easier for you to just book all your mates into a track day.

People have no idea the work the behind the scenes guys do for free. I'm not one but am mates with most of the SAU Motorsport commitee. Even the fact you didn't get the Medics answer says your in over your head.

Plus I wouldn't imagine you'll get away with doing skids there. Its an International circuit.

and he didnt understand the CAM affiliation.

may i suggest paintball in the bush ?

if i wanted to go paintballing then i would have buddy.

+1

f**k u lil sam lol

why dont you get winton? :woot:

been there so many times man, always wanted to go a round on the island u know/

in any case, make sure you let us know where and when :woot:

will do mate

Maybe instead of trying to book it out yourself, find a drive day at PI and book out most of the spots. You will probably get a discount for doing so and it will mean you don't have to bother with all the work and all the $$$

Otherwise if you have 20k then go for it :woot:

hi charlie

ill keep that in mind its a very good idea

thanks

Don't know if you've worked out the full cost yet. PI would be good as there is a lack of laps with 100 cars or so at a track day.

If it is looking too expensive/hard. For a stag do in the UK, did x-road dirt buggy which was a great laugh with mates so how about Extreme Drive in V8 Race Buggies http://www.redballoon.com.au/experience/OFR251. Not been to this one but worth a thought if PI doesn't work out.

i dont wanna drive some shit heap buggy thing.

i wanna drive my car and my friends wanna drive their own cars simple as that.

ive got a big 4wd anyways if i need to go offroad, but its really not mu thing.

$150 CAMS licence (for a year, buy now and you get the full finantial year)

$60 for a club membership (like PIARCS)

$150 for a track familirisation day.

after you pay your CAMS and membership the next time you want to go is only the day fee ($150).

Do it!

All these people driving around in fast cars on the street is a joke.

I though I had half an idea how to drive but quickly found my date pucker as though someone had a red hot poker touching me inappropriatly when the ass of my Subie stepped sideways at the end of the straight.! Turn one will change your life!

You should get 5-6 20 minute sessions which is more thn enough.

You will be put in a group to match your speed. Everything from old Corollas and Hondas to new GT2/3 are there so dont be affraid. I fit right in with my stock 92 RS liberty with 360,000 on the clock that I drive daily and cost me $3500.

At the end of the day I was lapping at 2min 9sec as opposed to (Im guessing 2.20 at the start of the day)

Instructors (race drivers that know how to drive) there that are happy to hop in as passanger or drive your car to show you the lines (no they wont flog your car).

Best $300 I ever spent in my motoring carear.

Hi Mate i just spoke to work collegue who works on the Phillip island race track and he mentioned that all the info you need is on http://www.piarc.com.au/?page=contacts

The price depends on the day of the week you choose

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
