SO my questions is...how mnay people get booted at WRX Sanodwn days because of noise because I havent touched my car since the folly of my first session there the other week when I got booted

There is no way my old GTR exhaust was a noisy as your thing Roy so I was never picked up at Sandown. That being said I have witnessed a few cars like commos get booted so I do know it is enforced...well at least while the EPA bloke is there ;)

No need for new tires Blags. Just hit it up with what you have now nyaanyaa.gif

Troy.....heahehaeh

Is this going to be...bet how many laps Troy can do before he gets booted for noise...?

But its such a farking waste of money to go there and two 2 sessions of tyre pressures. Then one session where you get black flagged...if the Scrutineer is sincere then he will ask what you have changed and if the answer is nothing they wont let you run. If they are pretty easy going they will let you go back out knowing you will get pinged the second time.

Need to find a second hand Racepace R32 GTR exhaust .. or just tottle around wasting $ in sessions and then give it a squirt...so hard to improve on your PBs when you only get 4-5 laps in total :(

Spotted 45+ entries, still hoping to enter late and review weather first.

I don’t have to worry about noise but I understand the annoyance of uncertainty, mines the fire extinguisher, relying on rule judgement calls but least they’ve tried to define what is required for 25g force.

THe noise checking isnt done by WRX club staff but by Sandown. So its out of our control.

I dont recall anyone ever being pipped by them on a WRX day.

My noisy friends tell me the idea is to make sure your exhaust pipe that pokes out under rear door is facing away from the EPA guy.

They must have been narked by the epa.. i saw ad in paper for a parttime job monitoring .. i was going to apply, but it might have been a conflict of interest. whistling.gif

Yes you can buy a CAMS license on day from us.

As I said earlier about the fire extinguisher ... i dont expect scrutineers to be checking bolt size this time round. But cable ties are probably out.

Pity I reckon you can build a full race car out of cable ties and race tape. cheers.gif

I worked at the track that was put in at TopGear live at showgrounds.

The drifters did demo laps. I have never picked up so much smashed fibreglass or seen so many panels held on with race tape in my life.

They actually had panels held on with ties that were designed to break and fall off rather that smash them.

Are there any issues with spectating?

I just wanted to do a bit of look-see, talk to people, see how the event is run, see what I need to do before I hit the track later in the year.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
