um no..what did you get???

After 6-7 downloads active, i click another video, page just keeps loading, then download window pops up when another download finishes.

Around 100KB/s per download, so not maxing my internet yet. Oh well. xD

Nice work everyone! Big thanks to all the people who helped out during the day!

Wayne, Luke, Anna, Juilette, John and the others that i dont really know, thanks once again :worship:

Thanks to the people that let me have a go at driving their cars... and thanks to Al for making me nearly spew my heart out when I delamed your tyre thinking it was the bottom end going :sick:

Campbell: thanks for making this another good weekend and helping me keep my car nice a warm!

Mike Lowry: great work and thanks for kicking my ass in the battle we had, your driving has improved again!

Dean: if you ever sell your car and stop doing this stuff... I'll kill ya.

Tim: you would have to be one of the funniest people I know... your commentry in the videos is some of the funniest stuff ever! :rofl2:

Ryan: happy bday and thanks for beating us at golf! getting tired of you kicking my ass at everything you do at deca.... apart from the bris award :thumbsup:

Richo: Great footage as usual! Cool to see some of those compilation vids!

Martin: thanks for doing the vids... again!

can go on forever but you know...

It's great to see some new faces out there as well as coming out on the saturday night and enjoying the other half of DECA!

BRING ON NOVEMBER :cheers:

Driving on Saturday hungover hurts. A lot. Yet it hurts a lot less than the pain of not making it :D

When you drop a wheel on the grass, you sure slide for a long.. long.. long time huh?!

Thanks go to the organisers once again for a perfectly run day, love your work guys!

You had the right idea though, you just let it go in that grass and didn't try to catch it back. Otherwise you would have been doing a Grant (sorry Grant) into the Armco in exactly the same spot so Luke and I were glad you came off where you did :)

sad face.. somehow miss all the photos and videos :(

Time for fluro wheels or a supermodel as your navigator.

I must be a legend in wrong way...

Still the trophy I got looks good though.

Awesome Deca. Awesome weekend.

Some great driving on display. Off the top of my head their is mike lowry who is certianly punting his car a lot faster. The stock 34 looked like it was moving and man does chris's rs5 launch. Jett, your a goose, good effort tho. Russ, your car is nuts, esp out the back. Tim, you drive deans car too hard (clearly;). Campbell you drive leons car too soft, apparently it only makes power on limiter.. ;) Leon, good work on the weekend, you certianly are the entertainer! Im glad im not your car :thumbsup:

and how about the locals..

They didnt seem to understand our definition of 'battles' in the afternoon... no need to take shirts off :no: Thanks to all that got straight onto them. Last thing we need is uninvited people writing their cars off on our watch. Short of having that BA on its roof i dont believe anything they did would be entertaining given the company..

So anyway, as leon said, thanks to our volunteers and their ringleader Wayne and also to all those with footage and photos.

New material coming to the next deca. And possibly a very different wang...

See everyone up at Nats and the next round!

It's ok Ryan, we all know you like the wang thats not the long or short deca wangs.

Having said that, the new material sounds good. Can't wait to see what it is. Wayne how come you won't make the next?

Looks like everyone had fun - another successful deca...great work Leon and the rest of the crew, I really have missed out!

Great work on naming the events too!

Looking forward to seeing results!

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
