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!!

Middle of the pack - not bad considering all the wrong directions, wet skiddie and general asshatting

Thanks Odi and congrats on 3rd

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

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
