Haha its not the flaring I'm worried about, I'm on the last 3 centers to be sanded then away for paint, this is the easy part

Still have to sand/prime/paint inner barrels

awaiting front lips and center hex's to be polished

and still waiting on new bolts and nuts

then new tyres and alignment and then flare

But once the rims are together then it's all pretty easy

yeah, that's why i asked about the entrance, was a little dicey when we used this venue a few years back. And i think there's only one entrance as well... someone was going to do a recce i believe to check.

i 'just' (as in scraped) last time in my GT-T and the reason i brought it up is, from memory, it was some sort of dirt entrance, so it would have had the chance to hollow out a bit since

and back then we didn't really have anyone from the 'stanced' crowd... and if we get some of those type cars showing up, there might be some issues... that's all i'm saying.

yeh exactly right SS8

as long as its rectified before we go.. like myself and ss8 we actually have lowered gtrs with ztune front bars not gtt's with kingsprings or gtrs made for the twisties

like the saying "tyre to guard gap is like a chicks box.. the more fingers you fit the worse it is"

i would of come but im not payin 50 lol

dude, you don't have to pay $50! 50 gets you a membership IF you want one. You can go to the this event FOR FREE, but if you want to win prizes/be judged etc, you have to be a member. The $50 membership price is 1) damn cheap 2) gets you much more than just 'eligibility' rights for a SnS, allows you to get a LS2 CAMS license, discounts from club supporters, access to club only events etc etc etc

as for the entrance, if could be fine... i don't know. I just remember last time it was a little tricky to negotiate.

The type of car does not matter, in fact there are plenty lower cars than ours Anthony... and a SnS is for everyone, hence all the categories, so please be mindful of this.

EDIT:

Ok, here's a pic - i think that was one of the issues last time, the parked cars made it hard to get a decent angle, but i suppose that's out of anyones control really...

Apologies is this is not the entrance and i'm thinking of something else

Checked entry on the weekend, if you car can make it over any speed hump then your fine.

basically the entry has a lip of about 5 cm then a gentle slope to get in.

We'll work something out (e.g. wood/ramps) if we have any issues.

Surely no need to keep talking about the entrance?

Next it'll be "what happens if it rains"...

Usually I'm the one to ask haha. But seriously...will this park turn into a swamp if we get some rain prior to the event?

We have a dozen bollards. We can finally use them :yes:

I didn't realise the entrance looked like that...Pack it out with some wood and it should be alright to get into.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
