Everyone needs to FILL in the ENTRY FORM and pay the $50 b4 the event, to reserve a spot. So PM me your e-mail addresses and i will send you the details.

At present time there are a lot of spots available, but since the date change other clubs (that could not attend on the previous date) are showing alot of interest.

can you participate if you have a shitty car? no seriously, when I had my 180 I went to one of these and had a blast (shat my pants with the 2 way LSD n 174rwkw), but with an 87rwkw GTS i dunno, might not be as fun as say... in a GTR.

Al - another quick question. Is it possible to nominate a second driver for the day (so basically 2 people use the one car?) Still at $50pp obviously.

Andrew- YES, but there is two ways to do it.

$50p/car: 2 drivers can be nominated to drive the car, but the drivers share the runs per course. So basically you each has one go per circuit and someone may have 2 (if time permits 3 runs). Both drivers must sign and date the one entry form.

$50p/person: Basically the car is entered twice and each driver gets 2 or 3 goes per circuit, as stated on the above post. Two entry forms must be submitted, just use the same car details.

Note: For insurance purposes both drivers have to have a valid driving licence.

Comfort Inn - 'Peppermill' 3.5 star

Off the cuff: 3x bed room = $76 - so $25 each :)

And I'm sure we can get a better rate for lots of people.

That sounds GREAT :).

You just can't help yourself, can you? :( :(

Just a question, is this close (within walking/stumbling distance) to the night life? Because there are a few Hotels within one or two blocks from pubs and clubs.

OK - that one a bit out of town, found another one in town for $89 a night... but I'm sure as soon as we tell them there are 20 odd people wanting to stay, we'll get a good rate :(

So... any ideas on numbers? Might be worth starting an 'open poll' thread to get an idea of who wants to come to compete and/or spectate. Will make accomodation logistics much much easier.

Shan at the last DECA day, a few guys entered the stock (read: unrestored) daily cars. We are talkin' 1970's falcons, 1980's commodores and gemini's, and the guys had a ball.

Now if you can't out preform these bardgies then time for some lessons :(, and what better place to practice?

    • A big issue with these is, unlike the R200, diffs are super expensive. The Blacklines are about €800, Quaife is €1,300-1,500 and any clutch LSD is the best part of €2,000. Have a look on some of the BMW forums, the Blackline has really good reviews for track use - I’m sure not if you’re subjecting it to extreme high performance - but it’s enough for me to go for it. 
    • Hi mate! yeah as far as I can remember u need to rotate the motor in the correct position and then mount the arms (linkage). the motor always does the same movement.  u need to think yourself into and try it a couple times. i think my mounting position was was 90 degrees horizontally pointed to the right side if you are looking at it from the front of your car but not sure anymore   best way to double check it is do draw the motion on a sheet of paper and connect the motor to really see how it moves
    • Hi mate, did you work this out? I have the same issue with my 32!  Cheers
    • I currently have someone who is interested in buying the rear set, plus he has asked me to quote him on an equivalent front set, new of course.   I'll post up what a new set would cost and you can make a decision then. I noted a bit of discussion on spring rates versus swaybar rates, Duncan has explained my approach very well.  What I would add is that if you have high spring rates then it is a PIA to change them if you want to, say, do a track day.  Whereas with adj swaybars it's a much easier task. Plus if you find that there is an imbalance in the handling (oversteer vs understeer preference for you) it is relatively easy to change the balance with adj of the swaybars, again much more difficult with springs.  On the race cars we don't change spring rates all that often, we do however change damper rates frequently, high speed vs low speed bump and rebound independently.  A tuning task not for the inexperienced, driver or engineer.  Driver adj swaybars are adj frequently, several times in 20 minute race is not unusual.   Cheers Gary
    • Yes. The difference between a $1k centre and a $2k centre is not worth it when the whole exercise will cost double that anyway.
