Just a heads up about the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally. This is on the 22nd & 23rd of June, and they will be having a tour class. This class is a non-competitive, non-timed event for everyday cars. The participants drive the same roads as the competitors, including the closed special stages, but are limited to 130kph on the special stages (supposedly - as long as you don't catch the tour leader....). You can enter for a single day - cost last year was $400, but this is for the car & includes 2 people. I drove with my son, and we swapped driver / nav positions every couple of stages. It was a really good day out - more fun and easier on the car than a track day. You do need a L2S Cams licence, and a helmet (only worn on the special stages). Your car will be scrutineered fairly thoroughly, so it needs to be in pretty good nick with everything working. You don't need a cage, or a driving suit etc. The supp regs haven't been released yet, but thyt are close. Further info is available from http://www.ahtr.com.au/

My only association with the event was driving 1 day last year, but if anyone wants more info I'd be happy to assist.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
