thats so shit.

they couldnt make any revenue on the cars (no defect because private property) so they're charging it all to one guy?

thats shit.

can you imagine the bill?

HWY patrol

Tactical response team

Riot Squad.

umteen hundred coppers.

vic roads to change the traffic signals.

i dont see less than $10,000k.

it cost $3,000 just to get a fire truck to a fire. imagine Vic pol.

What trouble was actually caused though? All I saw were some people revving engines. Everyone paid the $8 for parking.

I most likely won't go to another one though. I prefer our SAU meets where we can relax and not worry about 15+ police cars turning up. I got pulled over 2 mins after leaving yesterday.

I very much pity Oscar, he's a good person and had other shit go wrong car related for his this year as well, (including getting tagged by another car on the track)

But this is the issue with organizing things for an ad-hoc group.

and why we as SAU are are a registered Company.

SO I am organizing the Annual Show and shine atm,and the first requirement is insurance in case something like this were to happen so we are individuals are not liable

Hell the venue has a clause that we have insurance and need to provide to book it.

I hope the folk from JDMST step up and put together a collection to cover his bill.

plus they need to have a big look at how they organize this in the future, along with a bung of other "groups"

bottle was thrown from one of the upper floors

guy spat at a cop

BMW reversed into another car on little lonsdale.

commodors doings skids-nearly hitting children

I'm so glad just as I was about to enter they blocked off the street. I wouldve hated to be apart of that.

Toby what is your brake setup? I want to hit the track in the next few months. Got DBA4000 and some entry spec pads atm

Others who have been on track, please respond

Cheap QFM pads and RBF600 will be ok. Make sure you do a 5 minute cool down in the pits after each session. As those rotors are know to crack very easy.

lol don't act surprised, did any of you expect anything less...honestly...

Look at all that ignorance and contrasting experience in one thread.

It was always gonna turn to shit. I struggle to find sympathy for people who didn't see that coming and got owned for it. Let's see if the "close-knit" community of 300+ cars will chip in to help the organiser with their bill; see if their communal efforts are on par with how they behave at meets...

I've got the perfect solution...ANOTHER jdmst meet to raise money for the last...it can't fail!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
