Massive props to organisers and volunteers and also a big thanks to Josh for lending me his baby.

As all have said, thanks to the organisers and volunteers for the great day. Was awesome to get back out there in my own car.

Special thanks to Marty for the videos, some great stuff there.

but no thanks to you 2 getting your numbers mixed up!

Flawlessly run event as usual. First time on the mega mini wang and that still has me feeling a little aroused. I had an absolute blast, the 86 is just a metric FVCKTONNE of fun to drive. Skidpan as usual, was all about the smoke, but the backtracks were where the real fun was.

To the orange vests - once again, thanks for everything - I know a lot of your own time goes in to organising this for us hacks to get out there and have some fun.

To the yellow vests - this day couldn't go ahead without your selflessly given time and energy to make this happen.

To all the DECA n00bs - how much fun is it? Hope to see you all back again for the next DECA

To all the usual suspects. Holy shit, I thought I'd partied hard and made an arse of myself. Ambulances, getting locked in Nightclubs - you are all insane and I love it. If it weren't my 11th anniversary of meeting my wife this weekend I would have been there getting loose with you ;)

Thanks for a great day organisers and officials!

the Forester loved the Wangs, but not so much the skid pan, team stuffed coilovers ftl!

Great videos martin!

Definitely want to do it again, but in a smaller RWD car!

Just like the page and follow the steps in the post on the Autocult.net facebook wall.

I'll put a few more of my photos up in here and a link to all of the photos once I finish the write up.

Huge thanks to all involved in organising such a awesome and well run event. Says alot about the SAUVic club, the professionalism in the event planning and ability for the day to be run well, without any of the bitching and politics you can get elsewhere. All in all, it makes for one of the best and most fun days Ive had in motorsport, for which you all should be congratulated.

I know David and Min in the Loti also had a ball and we all look forward to returning in December.

Admittedly I wasnt overly keen on the condition of the Mini Wang , probably cause I came off and was sliding towards a tree for a bit (not a fan of rocks or trees for that matter!), but other than that, it was an absolute blinder of a day.

Well done.

Cheers

Joshua.

SWEET morning! Was great to see so many people enjoying the thrills that deca brings! Also good to see a nice mix of cars.

Was great to experience the handling of the 86, the thing STEERS! Thanks Aaron for the ride.

Hope to be driving at the next Deca!

Leon, thanks for the keys to the ranga mobile. Awesome fun.

Thanks Wayne for organising all the volunteers. You make life a lot easier!

Bec, good work with all the paperwork to get this event going.

Aaron - Thanks for sponsoring the event. www.importmonster.com.au

To everyone who helped out on the day its much appreciated. The day ran like clockwork because everyone was on their A game. 51 cars, the mega wang and two fairly big morning maps and we still got through the whole sched.

Next time we run the mega mini we will do a call out to anyone with nice paint and a broom to come along and help sweep it ;). It had been messed up since we last used it.

Great seeing all the new entrants. If you had fun, spread the word. Results will be up in the next week.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
