Steve, have the no screamer pipe rule been enforced for a while?

cause early 2010 or late 2009 i entered the NSW motorkhana there and they did not say anything about my screamer pipe.

Nor did they require a fire extinguisher as well.

As long as its been managed by the people who manage it (a long time), it's been a rule in the hire agreement (it's not outlining screamer pipes, it outlines overall vehicle noise). I dont think many users read/obey the hire agreement, but I do things the right way instead of getting away with it for a while then coming unstuck down the track :)

Insurance are the ones who require a fire extinguisher. Anyway thats just a smart/safe thing to have in the car

I have asked in the past about noise levels and exactly how loud we can be, its a touchy subject, as I said before if we arent welcome at this venue there is NO others in Sydney that can do these days and the Texi's will simply stop. No one wants that of course! To make things worse, I think there's a residential development happening quite close by which seem to be closer than the current residents. If that gets built and people move in, the fact that the skidpan/runway was there before they moved in wont stop them complaining - look at the people complaining that live near the airport eventhough the airport has been there for a long time...

State round is a CAMS run event yeah? We dont use CAMS for this, they're way too expensive and hard to deal with on key points

yeah its a CAMS event,

but cheers for clearing that up.

i do hope they new residents don't complain otherwise it will just only be wet skid pans and occasional peanut track days @ EC for 4hrs at a time only :(

Did u guys have any issues/noise complaints with the past event @ marulan?

CAMS are great on some things, terrible on others. This sort of event is in the "others" pile.

No dramas!

EC is the only other place in Sydney thats available, here's the problems; Cost is quite large to rent, last I checked you had to use a CAMS permit (expensive!!!) and AASA licences werent accepted. So if I was to take Texi to there, the entry fee would be around the $140 mark per member and you'd get far less driving time due to the small size of the pan. To put simply, Texi's would stop because at EC it would be a crappy event compared to what we are all used to now. IMO being in that situation is to be avoided at all costs :)

I wasn't involved with the MDTC day - so I cant answer that one sorry!

There's something I'm planning for next year down there, its worth the drive from Melbourne for it - so anyone living in Canberra is just lucky (for at least 1 weekend hahaha)

So is it too late to enter? I'm keen but still need to get an extinguisher mounted if I'm allowed to enter. I'd be a first timer too so would need a licence aswell!

and just to clarify are passengers free as long as they have a helmet and appropriate clothing?

Cheers

Oh on the topic of noise and Texi's in Canberra, at the last one down there we had the EPA come due to noise complaints from an old man living up the valley. Annoying much?!

They tested the background noise, I offered them a ride and some food from the BBQ, then they left happy as larry

If you can do the form tonight it will be fine.

Licence paperwork is 10 minutes, no big deal.

Passengers are free but yes must wear the same clothing and helmets as drivers and must also sign the insurance paperwork before getting in the car (same form as drivers)

i remember that, old guy is still there by the way.

Oh great. Got a present for him;

But in all seriousness, once he moves on or just accepts the fact that the world sometimes makes noise, it will be a massive relief to SRDTC and hopefully will take a lot of the pressure off them

Just a quick question about the form.

When it comes to the "I/we ............... of .......????.................... being" part of the "ENTRANTS DISCLAIMER/ DECLARATION" form what goes after the of where the question marks are?

Such a noob question but i cant for the life of me figure out what to put there?

Il be scaning and sending the form in aswell to the email in the form.

There you go

registration's closed ?

if it is i won't get a fire extinguisher tomorrow lol

Any forms sent in before 10 am tomorrow will be fine. Or if you're already spoken to Dave about it then you're fine aswel, but he checks all those with me and so far nothing like that has come up. :)

Thanks dude. Feel like a bit of goose for asking that now lol

We wont judge you....much ;)

haha

Dont stress, if its your first time then dont be afraid to ask! Id rather people come up and ask rather than stand around not knowing what to do. Everyone there on the day is friendly so dont be afraid!

It's also a good idea to read the Texi FAQ's thread, there's a link in the first post.

Haha thanks man,

I just sent the forms to the email supplied and payment has been sent through aswell.

I've got a few friends who want to be passengers on the day, do you need their names before the day or can they just rock up and sign on as passengers? Cheers

Andy

All Passengers just signup on the day.. You will hear the announcement

Oh hai Dave, I can be on lists plz?

Pretty please :) or else Cass says I will cry :-p

Thanks muchly!

no 21 doofus :P

Just a note to anyone thinking of entering, we will be accepting entries up until the day of the event,

The entrant list will be updated tomorrow to show names but at the moment we have 10 spots available.. SO ENTER!

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
