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:)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
