OK peoples, done some preliminaries.

We will get a w/end of speed .

Goes like this ATM

Arrive in Collie bout 10am Sat , out to the track for a looksee around the circuit, some basic training and then proper timed laps.There will be flag marshalls , fire crew and ambo's.

After that we have 1/8 mile drags ( unfortunately only one at a time cos of insurances. )

We also have a ,ermm, motorkhana which allows for some free expression ( insert go nuts )

O/night dorm style with showers etc but bring own sleeping bag ( no , not your g/f stupid !! ) and pillow.

May even be a bar set up by then and the prices are reasonable I have been told.

Get up on Sunday and start all over again about 9.30 till we packup at about 3 pm to go home.

Am asking for late Nov , early Dec and price will be about $150 per head based on thirty people.

Will need names , numbers and deposits but will keep you informed as prices and dates are firmed up.

This is being done in conjunction with the Performance Forums guys so we can get the numbers

I was asked to put something together cos nobody else could be bothered. It's all done thru the new Motoring Southwest Car Club who control the Collie Powerhouse circuit

There is no profit in it for me, it just helps the club.

And it should be a good fun w/end :) :burnout: :pissed:

I'm a member of motorsing southwest. and have been in a weekend of speed with all fours.

I camped up there with a few friends.

They do club membership for $12/year

Insurance (cams lisence) is $30/day or $80/year (I think)

$150-200 sounds a little steep, but if there is full fire crew, flag marshalls and ambo's i guess it'd be close.

With allfours, we had open track all day saturday. To drift or put down fast times.

Had some burnouts later in the day.

Had a hillclimb on sunday.

Drags and motorkhana sound like fun.

btw I can get slicks and stock 16" wheels for about $50ea

keep me posted.

If your a member then why don't YOU organise it.

As I said , there's no money for me . These are the prices your Club Prez , Phil Boston emailed me. In fact he said today it may be more.

If you have a problem with the pricing , ask him.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
