+ 1, i loved seeing that sprinter making it look like a D1 day! hoping someone got some decent video of it from the 'stands'?

lol at all the folks from ACT, can some of you bring some fireworks with you next time and make it really interesting? shooting bungers and sparklers from your passenger side window while going sideways for the win..

:thumbsup:

Luke GTR. the colour of your car is fkn STUPID hot. Did you pick it?

Thanks.

And yeah, I picked it.

Before it was painted, most people were sceptical about it.

I knew it would suit it.

Showed them.

Hahaha.

Well, it was an amazing day out there till the storm rolled in. Thanks to all the volunteers (and those that were volunteered) and especially to those that hung around to help pack up in the miserable conditions.

It's a shame that I'm so busy doing stuff at these now so don't have hardly any time to shoot video or photos. If folks are willing to donate their video I'm happy to edit it together.

Big thanks to Eric who stood for hours in the sun surrounded by flames from the BBQ without wearing a hat and produced many tasty sausage sandwiches. I didn't even get to take you for a spin Eric!

ianjb - some great shots there! Will we get access to the raw images at some point? (fingers crossed)

Wow man so many killer shots in your album, can't believe so many people bothered taking photos of me - I expected to be a bit of an outcast in my beat up 180 but really did feel welcomed by everyone

Thanks to all the organisers, volunteers etc for another great day! In particular:

Steveo for his soothing baritone briefing us in the morning

Terry for instant feedback with times, reminder of the time I ran last run and encouragement when a good time was made (legend!)

Eric for sweating over the BBQ and providing tasty tasty sangers and onions for everyone

Photographers throughout the day for great pics of crossed up cars with smoke pissing out of the wheel arches!

Shame the weather came through, I had saved a little bit of tyre for an afternoon finale but it just left me hungry for next time! Some great pics of my car so I'm stoked to have some mementos I can share with others :thumbsup:

Hey guys/girls,

Would just like to say thanks for an absolutely awesome day out!! nothing quite like getting out and destroying some tyres in the interest of fun!!

I will definitely be at the next one! (Will be sure to bring more tyres though):whistling:

Oh, and just quickly.... MOAR VIDS!!!!

That's the great thing about SAU events, everyone is welcome (as you found out in the morning, some ribbing happens occasionally just because you're different but it's only done in the spirit of friendly competition!). Couldn't believe how low your 180 was, and how well it hooked up you were getting very quick acceleration even while sideways. Looked awesome on the long sweeps of "oh what a feeling" track, the smoke coming out the wheel arches and also out the top of the panel where it joins the boot, having a straight edge it looked like it was a solid sheet of smoke and there was plenty of it!

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
