Hey guys thought I would put this in motorsport section just because I was interested in peoples views on SAU. Speak to a lot of mates who are very 'MEH' on the topic of taking their cars to the track.

Feel free to obviously express other things that are not in poll.

hahaha

I was like I voted!

anyhoo, I did 6 in 2011

4 MRA rounds (consisting of 1 x qual, 3 x races apart from last round where was 2 x qual and 2 x 3 races)

and 2 supersprints

Did the SAU RENEW thing, the SAU day in December and a couple of days with SSCC.

Eastern creek and Wakefield.

Hopefully my oil issues are now sorted as only doing one session per day has been very annoying to set the least.

Bring on the sprints.

I didn't get my nugget out once last year....

Initially it was a bit of a lack of interest as work was sucking the life out of me and then i had a week in port douglas around june and 5 weeks in the uk and europe in september and then a weekend in melbourne in november that wasn't cheap and then the year was over and i had no money left.

boo f**king hoo i hear you all say :P

I'm planning on getting out again in the next month or so, try and get around 4 days in this year.

10 supersprints in 2011 between Jan and Nov.

Very happy to get such high usage out of my track only S13.

Stoke that I set new PB's at every event except 1.

Sucks that is was only at 2 racetracks - EC and Wakie being the only 2 race circuits in NSW now!

2012 I've promised myself to do at least 1 trip to Vic (Winton or P.I) just for a change of scenery.

Go and give MDTC a run. If the S13 is well sorted suspension wise, you'll have an absolute ball!

Four events for 2011, and not a gravel rally in sight :(

Too many competing interests including work demands. Might be a bit easier for 2012 but funds dictate it will probably be a similar number this year.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
