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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
