Guess what time it is - that's right DECA TIME!!!

It's on again and I have booked us the hotel in Shepp for the upcoming DECA.

When: Fri 24 & Sat 25 February

Where: Tirana Motor Inn

Address: 33 -37 Wyndham St, Shepparton

Cost: $50 per person per night (if sharing)

$85 per night to have a single person in a room by themselves

If you would like a room, please let me know as soon as possible, they will want to release to the public whatever rooms we are not using in a few weeks.

I need to know:

* nights staying

* how many people

* what bed configurations you need (ie twin, double etc)

If you are coming by yourself, that's fine, just let me know and I will team you up with somebody else to share a room with.

Let me know here, by email, by PM or by phone.

The sooner you tell me, the easier you make it for me.

*** NOTE - if the hotel books out, preference will be given to those staying both nights

- if you ask for a room and don't turn up without letting me know, you get added to my black list (you ppl are starting to ruin it for everyone)

Entries coming soon!!!

DECA is 100% open to anyone, and everyone.

More the merrier. It's a great bunch and always a good 50-60 people up for the weekend of fun :)

I'll get onto Team FA, i think a few wanted to come up for a Fri.

Cheers, been up a few times but just taken photos and enjoyed the spectating. Doing 6 broken manifold studs tomorrow on the 33, then car goes to panel shop. If car is not out of panel shop by DECA can I just bring my 180 or should I PM whom ever is in charge of the event to let them know?

Make sure you do them all - if you only fix the broken 6, 3 months later another will break... Hence do them all @ once, saves doing it again for another 10 years.

When entry forms come up you can just put down whatever car, if it changes on the day/last min that's not a major issue either. Happens sometimes.

Yea doing all 12. Had this issue on old motor, fit new gasket and new studs after snapping 5 then blew motor 1,000km later.

Fit motor from wrecked car(knowing I should of done the gasket and studs) and it has bitten me in the arse 3,000km later. :domokun: Hoping I havn't got an ongoing issue with it causing them to snap. Exhaust hangers are all ok (not using cat one though)

BEC can u put me + partner down for a room for Friday night. Twin cause partner will most likely not be my partner :whistling:

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
