It's on every month, I'm pretty sure it's the first Saturday of every month.

It's not on in August because of WTAC and some other stuff. Hopefully the future of the event hasn't been jeapordised by the idiot with the CDR RX7. That was such a nice car, too.

For those bitching about domestic cars being there, why don't you have a look at the downshift forum and see what the organiser writes up for every event and pull your heads out of your asses.

I saw like 2 VE's and a nicely done XR ute there that were a lot more presentable than the majority of shitboxes that turned up. The amount of crapola skylines, silvias and Hondas there were, was pretty insane. I couldnt believe it when I saw a white 33 that was absolutely FILTHY. To the point where the white rims were almost black and the rest of the car was covered in thick dirt...

I didn't take my car because it's a ford, but it doesn't mean I couldn't if I wanted to.

Overall it's a good meet with a good atmosphere, let's just hope that it stays that way :)

I put my thoughts on this idiocy in 3 separate places on the net. there is time ans place for the stupid crap and that wad not it. that one event lost my sponsorship and a think a few others as well.

it was good when it was at the shopping centers but give people a chance to screw up and act twits and they willl. the shopping center meets had police in them keeping things in check. the later meets didn't and trouble came.

i personally think its done its dash for a bit.

Maybe you should have read what I wrote up in the first place mate, I was by no means BITCHING as you so nicely put it. I was only asking the question on what others thought about it as I thought it was a JDM meet

Bitching was a bit of an exaggeration, sorry mate. It's just that the downshift meet is an open meet, which is what the organiser states.

Still, I think it was a good meet and I only saw a couple of domestic cars and they were good examples. A meet with 700 cars is a good turn out, so let's hope that this dummy in the RX7 hasn't screwed it up.

more than one dummy. two commodores and countless others doing skids outside tb front gates.

damage is done. there was actually a decent discussion on boost (which is unusual for them) about it. the short of it is the police are going to shut it down. there are already rumors of it going south of the border to grafton. the request for police on a local event seems to fallen on deaf ears.

There's always a few that wreck it for the rest unfortunately. Like I said im keen to attend some meets again now the cars back on the road but not if im going to be hasseled by police the entire time.

If only the police saw some of the responsible member of the meet rather then the wankers they'd probley be more lenient. But when stuff happens like that rx7 what can you expect, thats what the police see so thats what they interpret the entire culture to act like.

Its quite aggravating...

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
