Thanks to all the organisers and volunteers who once again ran a tight ship.

Had a ball as usual and doing in the 135i was a whole new experience. Finally got to turn traction control off without the risk of smashing into anything. RWD slidage is farking awesome!

Most comfy drive to and from Shep I've ever had!

So the 2010 Championship is over! 4 sold out Decas in one year means its clearly not time to give these things up!... Which we were if it was not for the likes of Leon and Bec!

I will say however, one of the most frustrating things about running a DECA is relying on factors you have no control over. A big one is VOLUNTEERS!! Over the past 25 decas we have gone from an abundance of volunteers where we had 3 people alone cooking the bbq to practically begging for people to help (on the day!). In the past a large number of volunteers were also competitors who for some reason or another did not enter but were still happy to lend a hand, for the sake of giving something back to the event.

Sau Decas are much more like a weekend away with mates than an event out to make money. If thats all we wanted to do it sure wouldnt cost $85 and noone involved would bother with it.

That being said, if we cannot manage to get Volunteers EASILY next year 1 of 2 things will happen. 1st is everyone gets over busting their asses with no help and cant be bothered running events or 2, we hire someone like Race Soloutions who charge for their services and we simply jack the price up another $50 to cover the costs... pretty silly considering we only need 12 people for the first half of the day and 6 for the afternoon...

Enough beating the volunteers horse, its nearly dead. Hopefully 2011 is the year of the DECA helper!

Again, everyone involved with the incident, thankyou for your help. Especially to the guys who ran them to the hospital.

Thanks to the Volunteers, Bec, Anna, Joey, Bus stop flaggy :blink:, Sandeep and Co, our mini wang Starter Don?, Wayne and Mick. and our scruteneers Russ, Tim and possibly Ash?? plus everyone who helped in the afternoon battles.

Also, all the guys who helped pack up, Cheers!

Leon will be doing results shortly. Thanks to Sandeep we now have a much quicker way of doing Results which should be all sorted for next deca. just ironing out a few things this time round.

See everyone at the final meeting for the year.

No worries Anna thanks for volunteering again it meant much more this time than getting photos!

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
