As you know - the annual dinner on 1st October will double as our inaugural SAU awards night. These awards are separate from the Team Wang track championship.

The club is only as strong as its members - so this night is our chance to reward those who go above and beyond the call of duty. I'd like to encourage everyone to partake in these nominations - and even more so, attend the dinner.

All members are elligible for all of following categories. We ask that you keep your specific nominations private by sending an email to the address below. Feel free to discuss and ask questions in this thread.

I just can't understand why we can't hold back a little while and have the club champion ship trophy hand out on the day as well.

As for nominating, i'm nominating Mr Brissby but he just doesn't fit into any of those that Jamez stated :D, i find he's more than just any of those categories....if there is no other option i'll vote him as club member of the year.

Yeah something stupid about Jim having to race in the Porsche Cup Round at the Indy 500 and having other sponsor day commitments in the Gold Coast for the next two months.

Personally I can't see how our dinner isn't more important.

But regardless this night is more about re-capping the whole first year the club has been formed and to provide a great social opportunuty for all members to have a great night out.

What are the chances we can get old Jimbo to put a Team Wang sticker on his Porka or Commodore at Bathurst ...:thumbsup:

LOL..Club Member of the Year, i may do a lot of talking and acting up, but there are the folk behind the scenes doing the hard work, and many like Bec dont hold commitee positions:thumbsup:

Tracid: The committee will tally the nominees and make the final vote - it's up to you all as members to nominate people though.

If you're not sure of the person's name - you can use cars, forum names, vague descriptions - it's OK, we'll figure out who you mean ;)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
