Because Wakefield is a dirt track 2 hours south of Sydney, and Eastern Creek is an international racing complex with a lot more running and maintenance costs...

Hence it costs more to hire the track, and those costs are passed onto us :P

yes but it is a good dirt track, they are improving wakefield but until they can coax v8 supercars back, it wont ever be as big! they could run the place just from foods sales at

EC LOL

im still in if roster plays nice! havent been out there yet!

Eastern Creek is more expensive because the evil and gr33dy Australian Racing Driver's Club (ARDC) run it.

But, you need to try more than one track so we all put up with it and have as much fun as possible :P

Wakefield's a better driver's track/ more challenging, but Eastern Creek has a couple of great corners too, turn1 to test how big ur balls are, turn 2 to test how patient you are, and an interesting right/left at turn 9/10/11.

i've heard that alot Duncan - all my mates think so...  i need to hit a fast sweeping track like that though!!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
