So apparently I might be at this...

Later on in the afternoon, if we replace the last cone with a blow-up "1 metre soft-vinyl punching bag effigy" of our President "Steve-O", would you like to...

a) drive around him

b) nudge him or

c) *** him

???

:blink:

Edit* the blow-up bag is rated useable by "3 years+"

Basically, check the first post. CAMS is available on the day; $50 for L2NS (texi events, etc) or $100 for L2S (speed events like EC, etc). I got L2S and scored like $140 off my comprehensive insurance, so I was $40 ahead, winner! You'll need a fire extinguisher as well, Autobarn have them for $30 or so. I've used the bolt that holds the passenger side of the rear seat down as my bracket mount.

Scrutineering is basically to make sure everything's ok, fire extinguisher is there, nothing loose around the cabin, no oil leaks etc. If your 3.5" turbo back isn't too loud, it should be fine. Basically, as long as it's not one of those ones that people 400m down the street go "here comes that asshole again", you should be right.

Helmets... You can actually get them quite cheap, I got mine for $100 inc post with two spare visors.

Check this guy's stuff out, and make sure to measure your head if you're gonna get something from there. The dark tinted visor he also sells (not mirror) is quite good, too.

But by far the BIGGEST thing you will need is a desire to destroy tyres and do fast times :D

MCAS do cheap helmets that you can pick up instore. The bloke there thought i was mental wanting an open face helmet for drag racing until i mentioned i was doing it in a car :)

ima going, just lazy gettin my shit together

*edit*

with hte entry form, do you have to put both drivers down as the entrant or just pick 1?

Woo. Got my entry form, will be faxing it this arvo and paying the dosh. Will be my first time out. I watched the last one so cant wait to get the blue whale out there to see what shes got. Will need the AASA licence and will have to scab up some spare tyres. Cant wait. See you all there.

*EDIT Payed and Forms Faxed. See you out there!

Also those Helmets above are fantastic. I ordered one off them about 3 weeks ago and it came 2 days later. He's highly recommended

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
