WOOHHOOOOOOOO The HAC grass motorkhana is on like Donkey Kong! (and i can't wait!!)

These grass motorkhana are brilliant, so much fun and very easy on your car.... but your memory will suffer. :P

So this time it's out in Lardner Park in Warragul. About a hour east of the Melbourne CBD.

Google map search "Lardner park" to see how far it's from you. A meet up and cruise out could be easily sorted.

Ok, here's the details that i got emailed about the HAC motorkhana. The supp regs are now online and ready for download.

Here,

http://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2SO7hObq2y-Qm9XYWd1ZDNOZVU.

So from a brief read, you'll need the following.

$25 to enter the event

A CAMS 2NS (non speed) license, = $57. License details here - CAMS 2NS License

Helmet to AS standards.

And SAU Membership ;)

Now I am as keen as mustard for this event!!! My entry is already filled in and will be sent off by the end of this week. I've never actually been to this place of motorkhana fun, but a google map lookup reveals nothing but grass. Maybe mudflaps would be needed, but i can't imagine any, if not no damage to your car. LSD rear ends really could tear some shit up!!!! :banana: :banana:

So who's in??

I'm quite happy to help anyone for any details, so PM me or ask away.

I'm entering the EVO in AWD class, but RWD is looking good for Skylines. At a best guess RWD Skylines would be up against Commondoors and ChookTins (Falcans), and we all know how shit they are.

And a pic from the last HAC motorkhana @ Moorabbin that I attended... (in a $1200, single spinner Falcon)

And yes last time i got beat overall by a $400 Pugeot :verymad:

Over winter there's one or two a month, but on grass the weather often cause them to be cancelled.

There's another one on grass on the 25th of November in Pakanham. I'm also attending that one. For $15 entry, it's a fun cheap day out.

I can post up the 25th of November one's details if anyone wants them. :)

Ok the event is done and dusted, and i tried to do SAU proud!

Out of 47 cars i placed 37th. With a custom built motorkhana car, powered by Honda, winning outright, and 2nd was a bog stock Mazda 121 bubble car!

I came 3rd in in class. But the AWD's really got their arse handed to them by the FWD division. And yeah there were a few RWD commondoors, and they did'nt run to well.

The course was very tight, and the grass was freshly cut and EXTREMLY slippery.

Oh and i did win 4points for SAU!!! (yeah the Peugoet club got 32 points for the day, but they were all FWD, and had no big power slides!!! IMO i won on 'Style points' )

Quick pic. Vids are to come

Oh one vid....

Shit, just realised it's on tomorrow and I haven't put in CAMS licence application in... That'll teach me for being lazy!

Have fun guys, I shall keep an eye out for future events.

Yesterday was awesome! Longinus (Oscar) and I went along. The Surface was medium length grass with the odd cow pat :whistling: (which are very slippery!) Everyone there was super friendly and it was a very relaxed event.

Had an absolute blast...this course was'nt as tight and the EVO got to stretch her legs and I went alot better. I'm still waiting on results.

Here's the Vids.....

It was so much fun going out there and attempting the slalom courses and testing the car's ability on cornering was a blast - especially when AGE gave me a session on how to do the handbrake turns, that was really fun! haha

My photos are here

Have slow internet, but videos will go up slowly.

Will definitely jump on the next one of these events! :D

Thanks to Adrian for a great day out

Super awesome vid there Oscar!! Thank mate.

I've got more photos and vids, and as soon as the laptop arrives I'll get em up.

I got the results .... We left after 4 tracks out of 10 , so we are in the tail end, but next time hopefully we can bring home more points for SAU!!!!!

I think the next one is in Feb, and I'll post it up as soon as I know.

In the meantime, buy some mudflaps and practice those handbrake turns ;)

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
