awesome matt!!!

i was thinking of just using my street tyres, but i told mum to bring me up a couple stockies on her visit this weekend :), dont want to lose to much tread on my federals!

Yeah I'll bring some 17s I think and if I can make

It fit I'll bring the Trolley jack too so its easy....

What do people normally do? Load the back seat with tyres? I'm a Noob!!

Go to your local $2 shop and buy a doona/thick blanket. Put that over the back seat if you can't be bothered taking the seat out. That will protect your seat fabric. Then put a jack in, and fill the rest with wheels haha. If you're heading down with a mate (or have someone coming who will let you borrow theirs) then I'd suggest bringing one jack and sharing it

I'll be bringing a jack up, but it's kinda crap. some of the guys bring their awesome massive ones that go under the diff...

Yeah I have my neighbours one in my shed, it's one of the big workshop jacks, but if there will be others there that ppl don't mind us using it may save the hassle, we are cruising from Newcastle

So the less we carry the better :P

And yeah, I reckon covering the seat is the go, too lazy to remove it!

Yeah stockies are pretty skinny... The 17s super fugly rims might fit.... Trial and error I guess.... Anything else really needed on the day? Or just turn up and make an ass of myself?

Women! 4 in the back seat 265's, 2 in the boot and toolbox in the passengers seat.

Spend half the day changing tyres cause u kill them every 2 runs: annoying as f**k

But worth it :P I can't wait!!

Have a good breakfast, we have bbq for lunch. Also a few of the regulars go to dinner after at a local steak place, you're welcome to come along - we start eating about 6pm and finish by 8pm so you'll be getting home a bit later but it's totally your call. That goes for anyone really, any club members come along and budget $50 for food and a drink or two

Bring a hat and sunscreen if you're prone to sunburn. Other than that - just turn up and don't be afraid to ask questions if you aren't sure what to do. It's very straightforward in the morning though; get there with time to spare, find a spot for your stuff, empty the car out and put the wheels on you want to use, then join the line for scruitineering and sign on (license check etc, bring club membership card), then go back to your spot and wait for drivers brief.

EDIT: Don't forget to bring the correct clothing for driving (long sleeves and enclosed shoes etc as in the supp regs)

4th gear synchro is too-ted and it also locks out of 2nd occasionally.... That and some strange noise intermittently.... There was a lot of metal on the plug last oil change :/

Only one thing to do about it really...

Skids!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
