I am a maybe. :( I am doing the PIARC weekend before and will be out of tyres so makes the following weekend an expensive track day :(

Also, this is a problem..."A vehicle noise limit of 75dB(A) to 30 metres drive-by will apply. No vehicle which exceeds this limit will be allowed to continue to participate." I have most of the bits for the new exhaust but wont be ready until July when I am unemployed with time to do stuff.

If we are doing driver training I would like to come down and ride shotgun with people

I think you will find PIARC are the same noise restrictions. they only have a few Noise free days a year and they go to V8's Motogp and other "top level" racing

PIARC are generally noise free (95) as they have the superkart boys turn up. In saying that, I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone pulled from PI for noise at any day over the last 2 years.

Reckon Alfa club will enforce? I wanted to make the PIARC day but don't think I can get off work... :(

Might need to take my muffler and plumb back just in case.

Only spotted the entry details late Sunday night, sent them off immediately- but have been told by neil that anyone who entered after 6pm on Saturday has been put on a waiting list.....

Really wanted to be there for my first shot at the island!

Fingers crossed some alfa's rust and disappear to free up some spots! :P

The MS days are a bit stuffed around this year with Rex changing the calendar, and having their last track day on the weekend of the SAU Nationals as well. The PIARC day was an option, however the Alfa day is more structured and generally speaking the MX and Alfa guys have good courtesy on the track. While at a PIARC day...you can have anyone on the track.

People were always going to miss out on this one unfortunately.

We will be back at the Island in July (21st) for the next Rex round. For those that need their fix, MSCA are there the next day (22nd) as well.

FWIW, i got pulled from an AROCA day at PI last year. so it does happen :(

and my car is nowhere near as loud as some of the "race car" Alfas that were there.

Yeah I've seen plenty of people pulled up at PI for noise. So keep them quiet!

Seems I've missed out too but will be at PIARC the week before for my first shake down since getting the car back.

For those that got in have you got confirmation? Or on an entry list? I haven't heard. Assuming that I missed out so will have to see what I can do to get into the PIARC Weekend. Anyone seen entry forms yet?

this is what I got a couple days after sending in my entry:

they ahve also taken funds from my account.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
