Thanks to the organisers and volunteers.

Great club and atmosphere.

My car died on its first run (80% mini and long Wang) so parked it up for the day as I needed to drive home.

But still had a good day watching.

There was some really good driving out there.

Will December deca be open event?

*groans*

Smashed my front bar up a little bit

Gasket between my cat and exhaust is leaking when it started coming a lil loose

Copped a bolt in my front right wheel

Woke up in 'The Aussie' about an hour after they closed for the night, lights off, doors locked. :wacko: Don't remember how I got there.

Had my wallet stolen (and recovered today by Campbell and Leon). Money taken and thrown into a toilet :yucky: (Thanks Shepparton!)

In Summary:

Amazing weekend with Amazing people :D I'll be back in December with some new mods for sure!

Results are usually posted in 1-2 weeks once they are tallied up and checked, they will be in this thread and the original event thread :thumbsup:

Pics usually appear in this thread as well during the week. Most people are too hungover to do it today :D

results will take about a week as they ahve to be entered into a spread sheet, double checked, runs collated and final scores worked out.

unfort it not a simple process.

I'm sure some pics and/or videos will be up soon, ie when ppl have finished dying of hangovers...

MASSIVE thanks to the organisers and volunteers for putting on the day. Had an absolute blast!!! Disappointed that i couldnt get my datto 1600 out, but i will do my best to get it out for December, if i can ya'll in big big trouble!! :w00t: Cant wait to see some of the vids and pics of the mighty XR CAB. See ya'll soon!!

Wow! Just wow! I can see why Juliette said that you two will share the Brisby award after this effort :worship: (Sorry you lost your money - but at least you got the cards back!)

From what Luke told me it was a good day, cant wait to get back into it in December - especially because we are now missing SAU Nats also .

Huge thank you to the event organiser (I caught you at the end before you were doing loops haha)

The chaser loved getting out there! Big change as I usually drive a magna and it was my first time driving the 1j! As you all probably saw, got a loooooooooooooot of practise to go before I can go sideways properly haha.

Overall, really smooth running and had a great time!

So I have to make an admission at this point..

I forgot the charger so I rocked up with SFA charge in the camera so there was a much reduced subset of vids than usual..

So don't get hopes up..

That was a very organised event that i cant wait to repeat. Was my first time and it was a great experience which allowed me to learn more about my strange mr2. At least i have better understanding on how to set up the car for the next skidpan as i was getting bored with my cars understeer :P

Organisers/volunteers were very friendly bunch so thank you and well done for well organised day!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
