My brother wants to know if he will be allowed to enter in the associated class with his new ride...

Or, as he is in melbourne this week may just come for the pi55 up, so im now thinking i may spend Fr/Sat/Sun nights dribbling/stumbling thru the streets of PI

I'm there. This will be the First real track day with the suspension done by Ben, even thou that was like 3 months ago.

We are ok to use the house at Phillip Island. I have asked David and it's all cool. I'd also be keen to stay down there an extra night or two.

Keep posting up if your interested guys, as Andrew said accomodation might be hard to find if we leave it too long.

Put me down for a spot, though ill probably end up on the beach like NYE:)

Scotsman...Im hoping to install my new exhaust housing this weekend, i may drop my car off at your place before flying back to Adelaide, you can drive the wheels off it , wahtever you want if you are able to drop it at Bens...perhaps use it as transport to pick your car up?!?!?!?

Guys - I'm a regular on the wrx forums as well and they usually post something up once things start to get towards filling. So far there's nothing.... but don't leave it until too late. Remember with these things if you are paying by credit card or cheque they don't actually cash the money (usually) until AFTER the event as its easier for everyone if you have to pull out for some reason. So you are always better IMO to get your forms in early and then cancel if you have to rather than wait til the end and miss out.

West - FYI - Entrant is the owner of the car.

Driver is the 1st driver. If you are both the owner and the drive you still have to fill out both parts.

My advise - don't let Troy drive your car. He has a bad track record! LOL.

On the advice of god himself:) .. i just went and got the place we stayed at the first time we headed down to PI:)

If ppl can let me know numbers, the place is costing me $140 per night, and its nicelyt fitted out:) So between the two places we have sorted we shoul be able to accomodate everyone and their friends and partners:)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
