Oh yeah at any of our events you'll be able to see all the action from wherever the members are all standing around. Just follow the main group and you'll be all good

alright dude sweet. ill check it out. might see you there.

but will i be able to see much? like from stands or something? plus i live in wollongong so somewhere near central station in syd would be great? ;)

Dude, worst case scenario for next texi I might be able to give you a lift up; keep in mind I usually get to the top of Mt. Ousley for texi at about 6am, I try and get there at 7.30 or so :)

really?? awesome dude! im not sure if im free for the next one

im going to a festival in canberra that weekend i think but if im free ill definately give you a message thatd be amazing :( thanks

No worries, yeah I think Foreshore (or something) is on that weekend, but Texi is better :blush: at least when you're driving anyway. But yeah, cause it's 1 3/4 hrs drive or so, I tend to leave pretty early to get there for scrutineering.

yeah thats where im going

haha what is texi? just a race track?

Basically, you put witches hats down on the ground, memorise the course, drive it, and do skids if you mess it up. Awesome.

Below is Eric (Pezhead)'s car doing a run last texi:

thats mad :)

cant wait to get my car next year, such a long process haha

do you chew threw tires with that though?

how many of those runs could you do with just one set?

I did *thinks* 13 runs last texi I think, and tyres still have HEAPS of meat on them (had them since May or so). So sure, it does a bit of wear on them, but unless you're Cass or Aggrodave, you're not gonna have much hassle :)

A bunch of guys take up stockies for it; I've got 4 lying around that I've been meaning to use for texi but I don't like the way they feel in handling so I don't use them. So there's always options in that case; take off the street rims and jam on stockies for the day or something :P

For the price MDTC want.....we would go back to Sutton Rd which is a far superior facility and only 30 mins away.

I do want this to happen, but its difficult as we need a minimum or 30 entrants to make it viable, this year we have a heap of events so it may be event overload

i like MDTC and have used it a few times with circuit club and other groups, did they bump up the price recently?

might be to pay their legal bills to fight off all the NIMBY neighbors, so sad as its a great track!

um wheres sutton road? and whens someone going to get us all mates rates at EC?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
