So I had a dream (nightmare) last night that I got to DECA and I had forgotten something and wasn't allowed to compete.

Just to confirm, all I need is the following? :

Entry form, faxed, paid and accepted and on the list.

AASA Club Licence Application Printed and Filled out, to be paid with $50 on Saturday Morning.

1kg CAMS Approved Fire Extinguisher, bolted to a bracket that I've made from 30mm x 3mm Aluminum strap going between my front bolts on the passenger seat.

Motorbike helmet is alright?

Jeans, Long sleeve top and fully covered shoes?

Anything else I need to do before I head up on Friday arvo?

Getting really excited now, every time I think of it I get a little grin going and people at work ask me why I look funny :(

I want 22c, still and dry. Bring on the dry weather, I wanna see what some of you guys can do :)

Looks like the wagons not going to be ready for the event.

" It'll be ready mate... definitely (Mechanic) "

Luckily Iv got plan B: The miss's Mini cooper S.

Dont worry Im paying for this one: cooking, cleaning, massages....Omg what have I got myself into..

better be a bloody good Deca.

The first thing on your list should have been a case of beer.

:domokun:

Otherwise the list looks good, just remember to have ALL loose items (incl spare tyre) removed for when you go through scrutineers.

I've lost count the amount of people I've sent back over the years for this like loosely bolted in Amps/Sub's & other various items in the boot. All it does is waste everyone's time holding up the morning ;)

Brews shall be purchased between the outskirts of Shep and the motel, don't you worry about that :thumbsup: My only concern is the capacity of the mini fridge not being a team player :cheers:

No subs, and my amp is bolted in pretty securely, they won't be going anywhere.

Are you saying the stock space saver, bolted in properly, needs to be removed? Will probably rip it out when I get to the motel for the weight anyway...

Pretty securely might not be enough mate.

When I've been doing it, people that have them drilled into the backing MDF where the battery is - get knocked back.

Simply because 99% of them I've been able to move the MDF by hand. Imagine a heavy amp doing the rounds should you end up in a spot of bother. Simply not worth a risk.

The Cooper S will be a great car for the skidpan. FWDs do awesome on the pan!

Finally Cams gets with the times...

except when i got to the end, it couldn't process the payment :mad: - will have to ring tmw.

the online app was very very clunky, definitely v1.0

Is it secure?

The requirement as per the supp regs is that it is secure.

How you mount it is your choice. So it cannot obviously be moving in any direction and work loose.

Are there any restrictions on filling up from drums of fuel at Deca? This is my first outing since converting the car to E85 and not being able to duck out the to the BP for Ultimate out of the pump, so I just want to make sure I don't break some rule if I need to crack a drum open to fill up.

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
