lol even open I have to maintain a constant lean towards the centre just to fit - makes motorsport difficult :(

The 86 was much easier to pilot, could actually sit up straight albeit still slouched

A vid I whipped up last night (this morn :/ ). May have gone over board with a music track and all but why not, please watch till the end or at least the end :)

Great video tony!

Lol the end was me attempting to do helis but the evo just kept gripping in 1st and pulling itself out of the spin (or bogging down in 2nd). Finally managed it during an expression session at the end of the day complete with a smoke show :D

DECA was awesome as it was in years gone past. Thanks to Ryan Leon and Bec for working hard behind the scenes to make DECA a possibility again. They have gone over and above to get it done and it's much appreciated.

Thank you to all those who volunteered on the day to time, film, marshal set up and clean up including Wayno, Anna, Trent, Martin, Tony, Robyn, Liam and anyone else I missed. No skids without these people!

For the people that are unaware the DECA facilities required some improvements to enable the events to be insurable. Only 2 car clubs put there hands up to volunteer to make the improvements one of them being SAU. Which really shows the kind of club/community this is. For those that drove to Shep and put in the hard work just for the possibility of SAU DECA events returning it's all been worth it as DECA is back!!

Great day and weekend guys and gals. Thanks to all involved for organising as well as all the volunteers.

Can't wait for the next one.

Pretty happy with results. Less air and some better rears will help next time (zomg ALLLLLL the spins on that wet skidpan). Haha.

My videos will be up soon, will take SAU and the like to get the word out there.

Also should have some cool drone footage from Tony on the way :)

Thanks Martin for the camera work.

And a massive thanks to Bec, Ryan, Leonica and all the volunteers for organising and running the day! Had a blast as always.

Note to self: avoid midgets at the pub, it doesn't end well

Bahahahahaha second that midget at a pub theory

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
