April 2nd 2005 Queensland round of Drag combat

Who is keen to attended?

Race or spectate

Would be good to have a strong Queensland SAU showing.

Only 3 months away

Should have my car ready by then to race

Far out. Next years going to quick already! :P

I was hoping to have a few cars to put on display at events like this in 2005. Not to compete in the best ricer awards, but to get our name out there that SAu exist as a club. If anyone is interested, pm me and I'll get in contact with the guys who run drag combat (is it cabin?) and get more information.

I will prob be in UK but have asked mick51 to enter the white car to keep up our Drag Combat record (mick drove the first, we entered the 2nd but had to retire) Hopefully using BFG drag radials...hint hint Mick!!

I'll put the car on display if you need some numbers, never done it before :thumbsup:

But ill have a go at 'racing' too, depending alot on track/temp conditions.

That and DYO sucks most of the time,

Last year was insane, track temps were over 50! I wouldnt have run my car even if i owned a commodore :flamed:

Willowbanks' sheet metal stands dont exacly help cool the crowd/spectators down either :(

would be nice to race, but guess there is no point at the moment.. I'll probably just spectate.

It was worth going to though.. esp. the model show :wassup: should make it an SAU event.. with a joint cruise down there and maybe a club area.. idea anyhow.

There goes that Idea.

DRAG COMBAT 2005

 

MEDIA RELEASE

Sydney: January 17, 2005

Drag Combat 2005

It is with deep regret that Cabin Auto Salon announces the cancellation of Drag Combat Queensland, which was to be held at Willowbank Raceway on April 2, 2005.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, however we will be working to secure another Queensland date hopefully sometime later in the year.

In the meantime Drag Combat will still feature at Quit Motorplex in Perth on April 23, and Western Sydney International Dragway on May 28.

Fine by me? I might come out and watch :mad: By the looks of that email, it looks like they are trying to get another date in Brisbane, just depends on willowbanks availability.

Sucks about the weather last year, i think that's got a lot to do with it being cancelled. :mad:

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
