For low cars I'm sure we can organise wooden planks for any super low cars.

Also need to re-iterate:

  • Entry to the show is free to the public if you want to come have a look
  • Only SAU VIC members can have their car on display (per council permit)
  • The $50 is a membership drive for new SAU VIC members. Normally it is $70
  • Membership will pay for itself and then some if you ever decide to use our sponsors/supporters. Also need to be part of a CAMS affiliated club if you do ever decide to track your car.

Perhaps the same people who were worrying about static move in/out times at docklands last year! No more mention of the war / the entrance...we will have it covered! Worst case scenario, you don't like the look of it and drive home :)

So for a topic change, how does everyone prepare their car for this sort of thing? Do you polish and wax, full monty or just a quick squirt off at the pay n spray?

Should be great walking traffic at Como, I've heard the place populates on a sunny day.

My preparation will consist of the following.

- Get out of bed

- Shower/clothe myself then eat breakfast.

- Get into lift, go to my car, open doors start it

- Drive to Como park

- Park car

- Admire it in it's full commodore glory

- Go home

Just a quick wash and go for me

Unless someone really feels like washing, clay bar, polish, sealant & waxing my car for me :D

na leave all the rubber marks from the track day on there ;)

My preparation will consist of the following.

- Shower/clothe myself then eat breakfast.

Geee aren't we lucky ones!!

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
