Hi

The Calder date I am now reasonably sure of (well as sure as anything held there)

I am sort of debating if it should be twilight again or not.

There are advantages in twilight ..cheaper , great experience.

There are disadvantages .. track hire is for 6 hrs not 9.

I am running a vote on our forums ... but what do you lot think.

It was a great spectacle last year. It is something you don't get to do that often. The venue is close to melbourne, friends and family

can come along. That out weighs the session or two you may miss for the event.

You had a few prangs last year, that slowed the event down. I don't see why you couldn't get through the groups quicker without

that issue. Knowing what you do now, parking (lack of), sign-in (30deg, line out the door) should be much better.

Our main problem this year was that a V8Ride day .. overflowed into our time. So we had location problems etc etc etc.

Finally got my car registered, so I'm looking to do some track work this year. Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find out some more info on the SAU days, such as:

1) How much the events cost?

2) How I put my name down?

3) What the format of the day is (e.g. open pit, sessions etc.)?

4) Are there any non-competitive days?

5) Do I need a CAMS licence on top of my SAU membership? (and which one?)

I've done a fair amount of searching, but can't seem to find the answers to these questions.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave...couple of answers to your q's:

1. They vary depending on the circuit (some more $$$ than others) - expect to pay between $100 (haunted hills) to around $250 (phillip island).

2. A few weeks before the event the supp regs and entry forms are released....simply fill in and fax off. There is no pressure to do rounds - you do as many as you are willing to do. As long as you are a current SAUvic member and do at least one round you will be part of the championship.

3. Events are generally done on a session basis - based on experience/past lap time you will be placed in a group. They then cycle through the groups until closing time.

4. All the days are as competative as you want them to be - do not feel under pressure to set the world on fire at your first couple of events - just go out there and have some fun.

5. Yes you will require a CAMS L2S licence. They will cost around the $100 mark for a year. Don't have a link handy but all the info is on the CAMS website.

Cheers

Ant.

2. you can also use the online entry forms, http://www.wrx.com.au/motorsport.html

The CAMS website is a little bit of a maze, so this is what you want.

If you haven't been to the circuit before, just put down that you haven't been there. They will group you accordingly.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
