oh yeah price defs starts to add up. i see the licence as something you pay every year enabling you to attend an event whenever you can. though i understand people who wouldnt get enough use to justify it

In the scheme of things though, it's probably the cheapest part of motorsport.

If DECA is a regular thing now and we get 4 a year it's pretty well justified. Never know when you wanna go club racing and can just do it on a whim.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

so the issue was that the new owners required CAMS insurance not ASAA that we had been running under

Cams took a look and said hell no, no way is that safe.

so a number of car clubs (SAUVic included) did some working bees to put up tyre bundles and such to get it across the line.

CAMS have now given the OK on a safety front

so we good to go.

Yeah I'm more inclined to do DECA rather than a tack day less wear on the car.. my brakes would be cooked and would want an intercooler before going on the track, at least with deca it's quick little stints

Even though my car would be woeful with the current tyres, it's Achilles heel (plus it's just big, and auto)

Getting new front AD08R's fitted up tomorrow, current ones are flat spotted after my sandown incident. :/

Entries will be available very soon, throwing together a quick and dirty online entry page at the moment.

I see

Well that is good news

What's with the big price increase? New owners charging more for rental? Though it's been a while since I've done deca so it may be more incremental than it seems to me

last lot were 80-85 off top of head so yes it is an increase.

more rent, insurance cost more,

short of it is we will prob loose a small amount on it with the increase!

Dunno what Achilles I have.. Sport 2? or something dunno lol

Would be shocking on the skidpan given that when I did it in my N/a 33 it span easily.. another 3x the power with shitter tyres.. hrm.

Simon seems a waste to scrap those fronts? how bad are they?

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
