I'm pretty sure thats not why your renting at all..

but just to further show how little you know can you point out when exactly rates where 4.8%? dating back to 1959 i cant see any variable rates being offered below 5%

Don't have to inform them of a respray if it's the same colour or a variation/shade of it, but changes from red to yellow or green to black etc. need to be made known.

Whoopdy Farken Doo.. I was .50% off. I'm not an accountant nor a banker, I don't keep a track record of interest rates but i just say what I can recall. Just a couple years ago it was the 5% mark which was close enough to what I said.

oh ok, so you want rates to drop to where they did which further fuelled the credit binge and sky rocketed house prices? not to mention they were at that level for less than 12 months hardly worth hanging out for again to make life descisions..

australia is going through deleveraging and its a good thing, the RBA should stay out of it for the time being, we have the highest personal debt levels in the world its about time people started saving, which they are at record rates we went from spending 150% of our incomes to saving 10cents in the dollar within a 12-18 month period.

Trying not to come off as a nagging child although understandably suggestions are far easier to make after an event. I have not been to an official event before therefore I had no reference to suggest prior to this one.

I would be happy to volunteer, although when I try to provide constructive feedback to a 'Club Executive' it's taken as a complaint. It's a little difficult to want to volunteer when the absolute first step of the whole process, making suggestions as an attendee, is a grueling experience.

Not quite sure why I bothered giving a shit :(

Well I wasn’t talking about you – you aren’t a member. It’s the other usual suspects who complain after every event and never do anything about it.

I’m not viewing anything you’ve said as a complaint. Things can be improved, but that needs people to actually pitch in and do it.

Currently, there are none :)

This sums it up perfectly.

Anyone can spot problems, coming up with an actual solution to keep everyone happy is another thing. If you've got a solution, send it through... all committee is, a bunch of fellow members critiquing items and throwing ideas/input at it until a majority agree on something...because 10 minds are better than 1.

6 / 8 same same, same reason i didnt enter the sau nats one its just to long imo, clearly others dont have an issue with it which is fine but i'd be willing to bet you'd have a better turn out with a shorter time frame of mandatory attendance.

but im not knockin your events you guys do a good job considering its unpaid unloved work

We used to have people put their cars in for Autosalon for 3 days, all 40 of them. This was when the club had 150 odd members as well. Not the 300 we have not

The difference is it is 2011… And that means everyone

1. Would prefer to complain that something doesn’t work without offering a reasonable solution.

2. Wants the world to bend to their specific requirements and needs

Remember events need to cater for not just members… There is… Our Insurance, Councils (and their insurance), Private companies like local business…

Some events simply don’t happen easily and there is a massive level of piss-farting around that goes on, that until you’ve done it, you’d never know it existed.

No waiz.. what did you have back then?

Knew some people from Mccr, it's a shame they no longer exist. The club exec. was a dude with a black Mr2 and i believe he also had a powerful soarer

Such things always have a limited life span. Same as Vic Imports and other sub-divisions. If everyone stayed within the major clubs and stopped trying to splinter off.

The Melb car scene would be MUCH stronger than it currently is. Hence SAU is looking to a bit of rebranding in the next 12 months to sorta merge that up a bit

MCCR owner now owns StreetFX, and is involved with Firesport if I am not mistaken :)

We should enter autosalon the next time it's at the exhibition centre and have a massive sign that says 'SAU The normal cars'

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
