80% run of the Wangs:

Potentially the quickest times on the Long & Mini Wangs for the day:

I have no idea how to edit this stuff, so sorry about the boring bits!

Hmmmm, wonder how this would go in the Lancer, I need a bit more go-juice to catch those 400 something bhp GTR's :-D

And probably cheaper that petrol as it stands at the moment. :-(

Thinks......

"This extraordinarily strong spirit (95% alc/vol) needs to be treated with respect. It is questionable whether the human body is meant to digest such strong substances. Being effectively pure ethyl-alcohol, it is more commonly used in cooking, for medicinal purposes or by home perfume makers. One customer recommends it above all else as therapy for arthritic pain, and has been massaging his joints with it for years!

At any rate, the premium price of this Pure Spirit goes some way to ensure it is used sparingly and thoughtfully. Drunk diluted & chilled it traditionally makes a fine accompaniment to fish dishes. 95% alc/vol "

I was VERY VERY sick....Thanks Keiren (I think?)

Fantastic day...once again SAUVIC has delivered...

Massive thanks to the organizers and volunteers...eagerly waiting for the results now...

On a seperate note...If anyone missed out on yesterdays DECA fun & or would like to do another one next sat the 26th March, PM me for more details. I know a group who is running an event still has a few spots left, with many of the course layouts being quite familiar to SAU DECA regulars...

Great day, thankyou to the people who volunteered, including scruteneering in the morning and a big thanks to the drivers who parked their cars and came and helped between runs in the arvo. Good work Leon too, the day only happened because he put his hand up to keep these events running. The club could do with a few more committed people like this ;)

Wayno, Rosco and Juz, you guys take the cake for saturday night! especially rosco who got kicked out of the GV before we even go there. Hilarious!

Had a ball in the car all day. Killed the tyres in the morning and struggled all day with it, as you can see in the vids but still fun. Delaminated them in the arvo.

Good vids Daz, enjoyed flogging your car, 4 wheel slides are good fun.

I picked up the green helmet and blue jumper and took them back to the motel . But they were taken from my ute so i thought they were claimed.

I will chase up who took them and get back to ya.

I picked them up for him, he knows about it :)

Good vids Daz, enjoyed flogging your car, 4 wheel slides are good fun.

It only took us about 5 years of negotiating to swap cars for 5 min!

It was great fun, but I now realise how much skill is involved in driving a RWD car!

I'll stick with my pink badged cheater car, thanks! :-p

Daz.

Vid of a couple of cars - sorry only a handful as I was more occupied with the timing and kept forgetting to hit record :whistling: Figured the timing was more important anyway :thumbsup:

What a gobsmacking weekend.

Total and utter disrespect for the car... but who cares!

Being a DECA virgin (although I never hear the end of it from Steveo) it was just awsome to come down and do it. Meet everyone who you have spoken to for years.... and people who you never knew existed. We will DEFINATLEY be there for the next one... Hopefully with Steveo's GTR too!

The drive SUCKS arse... it just felt like it would never end *note to self.... PUT THE AC BELT ON*

PS... Femino can you post up the vids of the last much around session on the skidpan.... Been hanging to see that!

Paul, glad you're enjoying Saturday, words can't describe how awesome your GTR is, launching at 8,000rpm was hilarious.

Hopefully I get to enter next DECA when I buy the replacment.

nice, that thing is so punchy and dialed in... apart from lacking a bit of rear grip your so smooth with it... DECA noobs should watch this and learn

damn I miss these events :(

Well what can i say thanks to everyone that makes these days happen Leon,Bec,Wayne sponsers and the people that help on the day...Had a ball throwing the heavy wagon around think i got some pretty good times on the long and mini wangs and some good runs on the pan with only a couple of wd think i got some pretty good slides in as well ..

Its good to see such a good range off cars giving it a go from 200k+cars mercs and a audi to skylines ,evo wrx, elfin and 1 ford with everyone trying there hardest to have fun with not much care about how hard they push there cars

Saturday night was good fun a few beers at the hotel and kezs paint stripper (95%)shots all round then off to dinner at the RSL...i think that night club is a trap with the SAU crew lining up 33 glasses of vodkas on the table with Matt F drinking 5 in a go..i manage to stay awake since 11 am friday to 3 am sunday..sleep

....Sunday there was a few sick and sorry faces around in the morning getting ready for the drive home...had a stop a billys burgers for the hangover brekky in nagambie and Leon having a bark after drinking nippys milk p.s think there may be video of it ...

Thats my wrap up see everyone next deca

Stagea mick

Insane weekend once again! As usual thanks to all those that volunteered for the day and well done to Leon for his first time organising, good job mate. Special mention to Wayne for standing out on the pan all day and being a standout entertainer Saturday night. Thanks to my good friend Dean for letting Campbell and I thrash your car all weekend when your not even there, people were freaking out over the 4million db exhaust lol.

Thanks Kieran for shouting me so many drinks Saturday night and bringing the deadly E95, the only alcohol i had before we went out to dinner was 2 shots of that stuff and i felt rather tipsy, also hats off to Steveo for treating it like a fine wine, that would have been painful.

Highlight of the weekend for me was our end of day skidpan fun in Paul's 400kw GTR, seriously that thing is an animal...

Also my 2 man mohawk crew of myself and Mat getting an upgrade of 4 more, that was hilarious.

Got 2 video camera's full of footage, me and Femino did a lot of filming so I'll do my best to get it all up, so much more to mention but i cbf.

Even though my car still won't be ready I am so looking forward to the next DECA

What a gobsmacking weekend.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
