Yeah but they may require an external tow hook because your car may be burried in a sand trap. I dunno. I know you can get external tow hooks - I personally dont want to have to get one however.

I've got a nice shiny red tow hook for mine, haven't fitted it yet.. You can buy them at Autobarn.

Yeh, with my wiring loom out im soldering in my AVCR scramble button so it will be 1.2bar then 1.4 bar for the occassional hit in a straight line. Problem is im In Adelaide with work, and not having the greatets of time getting al the parts i need and time to finish the car.

Fingers crossed that this weekend the car will be back on the road:)

For peoples info - as of last night there were 35 entries. So still 35 spots left but they are starting to fill fast now. So if you haven't got your form in and you are thinking of joining us then do so shortly.

Also - as a super new cool toy for those dorky minded out there - the WRX Club will have available a wireless up to the minute race time monitor for anyone that wants to bring a laptop along. All it really menas is that you will get to see the times as they happen rather than waiting for the print outs.

http://www.racetime.com.au/rmonitor/

will show a directory listing with two files - setup.exe - around 730k and instructions.txt.

Anyone wanting to have Wireless Access needs to download the two files - read the instructions.txt and run setup.exe.

For anyone that is concerened - the RMonitor system will be installed ONLY in the directory nominated by the user (we default to c:rmonitor for ease of identifying it). NO files are installed in ANY other directory.

They will confirm the IP of the result machine on the day.

Ok - we met a few of the people last night. Seemed a decent enough bunch. We even ran into our good friend Tony Peter (Black STi)

We covered the few little quirky bits of their sup req's.

Tow Hooks - skylines have hooks under the front of their cars. This is acceptable. Nothing else is required.

Shoes - its seems they are a little more fussy on shoes than most people. They like the shoe to at least have a leather upper. Either that or you need to have fire proof socks.

Extinguisher Mounts - the spot that many of us have used in the rear seat is fine. But they wont be accepting any plastic brackets - nor any brackets that have been attached with either pop rivits or with self tapping screws.

I think that covers most of it. Still plenty of spots left. Not long to go now - Im getting excited.

Oh - finally - if anyone would be able to help out with Flagging for this event could they let me know.

:P

A few points. They surely mean fire retardant socks as fire proof wouldn't fit in any shoes. Mine are cotton drill uppers over cotton socks (go the dunlop volleys), much like the cotton clothing I wear as fire protection and meets all other sprint event sup regs. I'd agree if the shoes were to be fire retardant and they were consistent with other clubs. What's so special about these guys.

Since the self tappers and pop rivets are out then I'm getting the chewing gum ready, didn't say anything about that. Honestly, have they taken any engineering advice on this? Most of us have just one seat bolt through the mount and a self tapper, so will that fail scrutineering? If I use hex head self tappers I bet they won't check. Christ, aircraft are held together with self tappers and rivets.

Flagging...their party...my money...do you think I'm going to wave a flag for them.

If I sound a bit grumpy it's possibly due to the amount of panadeine forte I've consumed over the last 2 days, but mostly because they are being unreasonable.

    • Also seen this as an option 
    • I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do
    • Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.
    • R34 RB25de Neo by the way ^ 
    • Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
