When you arrive at your first meet, make sure you segregate yourself by race and religious belief, the Mexican will approach you, compliment your vehicle and ask you what you are running under there. At this point don’t be too concerned he isn’t gonna hit you for slips as he is going legit and trying to get on the NIRA circuit. So reply with some sporty banter and embrace him with a mafia spec hug – kiss on the cheek is probs too soon ONLY ON THIS OCCASION .

During the drag race, don’t hit the 100 shot of nos too early, you don’t want the welds to blow on the intake or the floor to fall out too early. You want the floor to drop just as you cross the finish line so if you happen to be racing a red RX7 he can’t activate his nos at this stage.

If police happen to raid the meet, make sure you pick up the owner of the red RX7 if you see him on the street, this is your way into SAU. You will be invited to a post meet party to play some GT2 and some coronas. Don’t bang his sister just yet.

Exchange snap chat names with her, screen shot nudes and post to SAU. As the grand wizard is an RX7 owner he won’t see nudes of his sister on SAU.

If you are going to take her out one night, make sure it’s a Cuban restaurant called cha cha cha.

At this point in time, I am hoping you are not a cop, as we run a great racket here at SAU which helps us pay for the shit under the bonnet of all these cars. I will let you in on a secret its cheap chinese DVD players worth about $20 a pop, hence why everything uses china turbos and knock off rota wheels as gee the money is good but not legit parts good.

This should give you a good feel of the place and enjoy your stay.

    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.   
    • Food for thought, the stock oil filter thread is a 3/4-16 UNF, which has an ID of about 10 to 12mm (according to ChatGPT lol). Now compare than to an 10AN, which has an ID of about 14mm (Raceworks is 14.2mm, Speed flow is 14.27mm).  
    • Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
    • You can set hard reserves on your battery system, and it can't be discharged past that.  
    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
