To all our SAU Deca friends,

Just a quick update to let you all know where we currently stand with the future of our ‘Deca’ type events.

We have done everything in our power to keep Deca alive. The new owners have taken a hard line blanket approach to the way they manage the venue. The ‘mega+mini’ wang tracks are out of bounds, the price has significantly increased and the paperwork has doubled.... We persisted with these changes, however, as of recently, they have decided AASA insurance is now not acceptable, meaning we can only run under CAMS insurance. Further to this, the back track has now been deemed unsafe and we are not allowed to use it until it is rectified.

Right now it is not feasible using CAMS insurance for our event. The time, cost and effort involved far outweighs the end result. It’s not game over for Deca, but it is out of our hands at the moment.

Good news is we are looking at running an event that will be bigger and better in the second half of the year. Micolour will still be on board. Early days but we will release information when we know more.

SauVic Motorsport Committee.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Motorsport committee both past as present for putting in so much effort over the years.

We had a lot of amazing times at DECA.

Thank you

Bec, are there any hints or teasers that could be posted?
I'm Very sad about the possible demise of SAU DECA's, but keen to see what the awesome committee can come up with!

Pic not related, but awesome....

    • 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
