So,

got an email from the MRA guys.

They are dropping the $60.00 level 2 licence and bringing in a national licence with AASA which is 100 a year. (down from over 200 I think?)

It also means we can race in any AASA event in different states!

Yep your right weevils the national licence had dropped from $200 down to $100 now!!!

Oh noes weevil can go postal :down: look out interstate race tracks!!

Yeah thats it, you could only use the level 2 for wakefield, and not in other meet around country.

So now lakeside, winton and.....something else?

which isnt too bad I guess! but I dont see myself going that far haha

understood. and 99% of people I know use those licenses only in NSW for motorkhanas and wakie track days. Now they will have to pay twice as much for the same result.

and further, the cams L2S is now a cheaper way to meet both those requirements.

Druncan, the level 2 licence I have of AASA allows me to compete door to door in races with MRA/Irace etc at wakie (and used to be OP)

the next level up was a national comp one at over 200 bucks.

now they have scrapped the 60, brought the national down to 100

I think thats pretty good considering someone like me doesnt race in any CAMS events (MX5 racing done through AASA 97% of time!) and the PC licence is around 300 - 400 a year?

AFAIK they still have the club level one for $50 which is smilar to L2S for wakie and kana's

yeah agreed if the entry level licence is now $100 that's a bit tough since like you said 99% of people only compete in motorsport in their own state. for people who actually will compete insterstate paying $200 is not a big deal for a licence. I mean even if they only did one meet at say Phillip Island that extra $100 is not even the first tank of fuel on the way out there...

but dunc, like weevil said they do still have the $50 club licence.

the only scary thing for me is that you can now get a national circuit licence for door to door racing simply by attending 3 super sprints and paying $100. at least under the cams C3 and then PC/NC licence scheme you had to do an observed licence test and that usually meant some form of advanced driver training course and that was just to get to the provisional (PC) licence you then had to demonstrate competence to get onto your NC licence. it means people with some pretty questionable driving practices and skills can get straight into national door to door competition. having said that though there were plenty under cams too but I guess at least working a bit harder for the licence formed some kind of quality filter.

all cams licences have been nationwide though even back when an L2S was about $60.

I do think for door to door comp licences there needs to be some kind of assessment done to ensure people out there know how to behave and how to drive without endangering other people. easy to ask for but hard to implement I guess.

MRA is entry level door to door racing. You will never really 100% know how to race until you actually do it. You will always get your cowboys and drivers that have left there brains in the esky!

I have only ever seen people coming up the ranks from supersprints that finally think there ready to try door to door or even guys that have been behind thd scenes as pit crew or officials move straight to racing..

That's what the Clerk of Course is for to chat to the drivers that are behaving in an endangering manner.. But really I don't see it alot extremely bad drivers in door to door racing in my experience more see that with first timers at a supersprint! Plus they don't learn to watch there mirrors until your out there giving it ago!!

yeah you are right. no matter what the licensing scheme there will always be dickhead drivers getting through. anyway I think what aasa is doing is great. it is good to have an alternative for people. :ermm: and they certainly are making door to door racing more accessible for more people in a variety of different cars.

    • 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"
