Where abouts are you staying

if your here for the v8's east end would be best as its on the gates of the track

The Old Exchange (might be attending a little event there on the sunday night :whistling: )

Distill - more of a lounge, go play old school mario on snes whilst knocking back some vodka

Belgian Beer Cafe - already mentioned, sensational brews available but bring lots of $$ :cheers:

The Stag - will be over crowded as the bogan population of adelaide will be in there

If you want to see the sights and visit the emergency room at RAH you can go down Hindley St

The Old Exchange? f**k me. Never ever go there.

Ever since the new owners took it over, renamed it to that shit name (previously the Electric Light) they have ruined it. The Old Exchange? Sounds like I'm heading to a 1890's pub.

Went there the other week, bar manager gave me a 'tour' of their 'renovated' back room where they have literally destroyed it. Bar looks like it's made from pieces of wood found on the side of the road. She couldn't even turn on the lights since half of them weren't working. Crowd outside in the beer garden was full of feral bogans. 2 guys wearing Fubu shirts and wu-tang trackies. Rest of the crowd were f**king horrible.

That place is a f**king dump. The manager even admitted that the new owners "could barely afford to buy the place" let alone keep it half respectable.

Tap Inn is a quality pub. Sugar on a Friday/Saturday night on Rundle St is real quality. Older crowd (early 30's and up) and awesome house music. Most places on Rundle St are decent. Also the Union is pretty good, as is the top room there.

You can make your own judgement about Hindley street but it's pretty tame compared to other states around Australia.

plus one for the tap in. also maid and magpie on magil rd and the oriental great places for a feed. north adelaide also has a small selection of good pubs.

victor harbour down south is not bad for a drive and sights, and moana and glenelg beaches have some nice sights too :P

yes the tap in is under recievership, but still operating, the same people also own the bombay bicycle club and coopers ale house. tap in was never as popular as expected all welland good being packed all weekend but think of how much they put into the place.

is the tap in still open, i heard they went into recievership?

Spoke to a DJ who works there, they're bringing in $4 base spirits all night Friday and $12 jugs of spirits all night Saturday just recently... obviously to bring in more people.

Such a nice place but too far out from town. Was a novelty the first few times you go there. And they removed the put put on the roof :(

I hear Radelaide has lots of churches ey brah

yeah I hear that !!!!!, Rad is not the word ..lol

sellicks beach for a day on the sand is nice depending on the tide, weather. just watch for sharks if you go for a swim ,, they come in very very close. but so do the good fish if you cast a line out

just check out the race , if you can see any of it thru 3 layers of fencing,

book a tour at the coopers brewery. proceeds go to charity and only costs $20 or something and about $20 cab fare from the city unless you bus it. takes you for a tour round the site and after you try each of the beers - best to take a bus or cab home again but great fun!

but coz your down for the 500 Hutt street (in the city- they close it off for a street party) is fairly nice after the race to have a nice alfresco meal with some of the Barossa's finest reds.

Adelaide is a bad place to visit - but a great place to live

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
