Still annoyed at the ponytail CAMS scrutineer. Knocked me back for my Motocross helmet because apparently the chin part extends out too far. Told me to go speak to Clerk Of Course and see if he can ov

Hey guys,

I've entered for the Sunday now as well and looking forward to getting back out at PI and competing in the championship this year.

For those who don't know me yet I've got a VX SS Commodore with an N/A LS1 putting out around 310rwkw and I ran a 1:54.9 last time at PI. :)

Haven't entered yet but I will at some point.

Anyone else going for the first time?

At the briefing they usually ask if there are any first timers. Just let them know and they'll either do a parade lap at low speed or get an experienced driver to passenger with you on the first session.

Yep PIARC days they group you on times and shuffle groups during the day on times

Didn't think they did at the last one, might depend on how many entries and the time spread?

They might factor in the car class for groupings along with specified time. Both are on the My Car page on www.meecamsau.com. Most people would be E-H?

actually most of entrants would be in A-D

E-H are those with engine swaps, stripped down with aero work...think richo's skyline.

Classes A, B, C & D are for road-registered cars using generally road-going equipment only. All cars using racing
tyres, or slicks, will be classified as specials, as will be excessively modified road cars. The organisers reserve the
right to re-classify cars, following vehicle scrutiny. For full details of modifications allowed in each class see Group 5
Speed Event regulations. The organisers reserve the right to amalgamate classes if in their opinion entries are
insufficient to warrant a separate class.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
