Woot! Texi! so excited!

[Cassbo]

i think chubbs or cassbo posted this once.. i meant to do it in my intro-to-texi thread but forgot.. over and over. next time i see my liner is sunday though, so can't take pics before! arg

That was a long next day

Any who, I took some pics as evil_weevil's ones have stopped working. Figure I might also do a bit of instruction while I'm at it.

Step 1.

Go to your local Autobarn / Supercheap / Repco / where ever. Take a look at what fire extinguishers they have. You are looking for 3 things

1. Over 0.9 kgs

2. AS1841.5 sticker

3. Pressure still in the "green"

4. Comes with a bracket.

Here are some pics of what I mean.

I bought my extinguisher for around $30 so I imagine that yours will cost a similar amount.

Step 2.

Pull the extinguisher out of the box and separate the bracket from the extinguisher.

Step 3.

Drill the mounting hole furthest from the bracket's latch out to at least 8mm. I drilled mine out to 9mm to give me some margin to play with when I finally mount it.

EDIT

Be careful when drilling as the drill can grab the thin metal of the bracket and force it out of your hands, usually giving a good gouge in the process. Use a vice or stand on the bracket like I did lol

Step 4.

Undo the bolt that holds down the passenger side of the rear seat.

Step 5.

Bolt bracket to rear seat mounting point.

Step 6.

Put extinguisher into bracket

Step 7.

Rip skids

Hey, What do i have to do to spectate? anything?

and rules If i wanna get a few snaps of my own, is that permitted since you guys have some "official" photographers?

[oweban]

Ian,

All good to turn up whenever you want through the day, and taking photos from the sidelines is fine. We have the photographers that can move about the place, and get closer shots; with their gear, we offer the service for people who want professional-type photos of their cars; they're frigging good at what they do I don't think you'd annoy anyone taking your own pics from the sides.

If you want to actually be a passenger in a car, you'll need ankle to wrist clothing, a helmet, and sign a short waiver that says you understand the risks of motorsports. Having said that though... It's a wide open pad with no trees or banks or anything

that being said, make sure you bring some church change on the day incase you feel like a feed/drink as theirs no atm's around the joint..

[oweban]

this is true!

there's a BP/hungry jacks not too far away, but yeah, we do sangers and stuff on the day. costs moolah though.

[ianjb]

Sweet as.

I live in Quakers Hill so I'm walking distance from Narimba

Maccas, Eagle Boys & Subway are just up the road. 5 min on is a red rooster too.

is it too late to enter ! ?

Elvis show me how to mount the fire extinguisher !

if there still space u can enter long.

im buying one already with bracket from another member and im gonan fit it on the day.

[ripitup]

what no screamer pipes ... thats like not being able to bring lube to an orgy

[N1GTR]

Thats one way to look at it, the other way is this; There is only one other location we could use for this in the whole of Sydney, it's overpriced and small. Where we go, there is a great relationship between club and venue, screamer pipes and therefore noise complaints from residents wouldnt help that cause and given this venue is booked every day of the year they dont need SAU's business so we do everything we can to not be a problem to deal with for venue management.

If it didnt have to be that way, i'd be all for it

[krayzie32]

What's the street address for the venue...

Map doesn't work on my iPhone...

[oweban]

Sav,

It's a hard one for iPhone Maps...

I've dropped a pin at it, and it's Warawara Circuit, Schofields NSW. Have a look there, and look for a carpark near a massive patch of asphalt. That's where we'll be!
