Kelly is going to kill you when she sees that :D

who's kelly. when's the next practice session which requires no license, and how crowded are they. i know i'll get laughed at for driving an N/A on there, but I jus wanna have a feel for it.

Snowman - going to do the HSV sprints at Sandown (8 August) or the WRX Club sprints at Sandown (15 August)?

Mate - am running the Dutton from August 6-8 so will be giving those events a miss. But as posted earlier am going to look at Phillip Island later in August. The next NDSOC/MSCA event is the hill climb at Rob Roy which doesnt overly excite and the following is Phillip Island in Sept so going and having a practice weekend with PIARC sounds good to me.

Funky - Calder every Wed and Winton every Friday are open and don't need a CAMS. Just a helmet and ankle to wrist clothing.

And put it this way - if it wasnt for our 5 cars at Winton there would have been 3 others on the track. A quick HSV (hate to admit it but it was damn fast) some yellow thing and a super quick Ford Focus racing car.

ahem roy - i believe i listened to your dribble for over an hour on saturady nite

That you did, pass the girl a bourbon and coke, woops i drank them all :D

Id rather not too many photos of me in the car get posted thanks, sorry dont want to be a spoil sport , but....

...and there will be no racing of Wangs while im in the room thanks :P

impressive chris, 1.41 well done :D

Funky still worth getting your car out there mate, good to see what it can do, and handling would be more important than power on a track like winton.

the HSV wasn't THAT fast... aggressive driver, good rubber and it must of had handling work done on it, give me some sticky rubber, my handling kit and about another year or so to learn how to drive and i'll whoop it :P

as for the ford focus..... :Oops:

I'm Kel. I don't have any balls but still like a bit on the track :D

You can check me out on the NSW Dutton Rally Speedweek coverage or in the next edition of Fast Fours :wassup:

i've hooked up my xbox to the logitech steering system... couple of hours of practice on it and i should be able to pick the best lines. then maybe a cameo appearance on the track to see what my can do... more for fun and curiosity than anything.

guys if u want more of a laugh, there is somethin my gf and her friends made up at skool when she lived there

it was called "DOING IT WANG STYLE" (wangaratta style)

there were quite a few girls at her skool doing it (luckily she wasnt)

if anyone wants to know this sexual explicit stuff, pm me so i dont get into trouble for posting it up

I'm Kel. I don't have any balls but still like a bit on the track :thumbsup:

Are you the star in the Beemer with the panel damage? :) good one, you were so cool about it.

Guys and girls. if you are interested in a track day then just make sure everything is working good, especially brakes and come along. You don't need to have a setup that will challenge Jim Richards' Porka at targa. The first few times will just be learning anyway. Take it from someone who has spent a lot of time on the track in open wheelers and sports sedans. The faster you are going the less time there is to concentrate on actually learning to drive. As the pic says, It takes 2 balls (or the mental equivalent, Kel) and be prepared to have some fun. No-one, I repeat, no-one will take the piss if you are prepared to come and try so Just Do It.

Kami, what exactly is Wang stlye :)? Pm me. I spent some time in Wang myself years ago working. Definitely didn't touch any schoolies though.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
