Trying to confirm an early march date with Sidline at the moment.

Mick - they are strict about chucking donuts and misbehaving etc, but drift is what we are there to do. Dude you were in a Daewoo, you were always gonna cop some flack :D

In regards to payment - its first in best dressed. Im giving SAU a week or so to get payment to me, then i will get PF to fill the remaining spots. If you pay, then want to pull out, you need to find someone to fill your space, as I am taking the responsibility to front up with a lot of cash on the day. Payment by deposit into my bank account or mail order usually.

It will be a Sunday.

Two words - fark yeah. I'm in for sure. The dump pipe is screaming to be used again, legally this time :D

We could share my car if you want, just buy two spots and drive one car. It's the Stagea's turn next time though :)

In the past, spare spots have become available at starting time due to some unfortunate circumstances, like Mesmer's wheel falling off on the way to the skidpan. Rest assured there is huge demand for this event as another club will be filling the remaining spots, and it is unlikely there will be spots available on the day.

If you want in, you are best off securing a spot.

Trust me, you wont regret it.

Recap - tyre wear is minimal, damage to car highly unlikely (would be your own fault) its not hard on engines/gearboxes, excellent instructors and very social atmosphere, not tightly regulated.

hey guys I know i'm new to the scene.... but I really want to get involved... put me down for a spot... I am part of the interested crew that is coming with Pete and Jay from rocky....

I am really looking forward too it and have already told my boss that i will be taking holidays some time in march....

I might have to slide a new diff under the rear of the Q before the event though.... and what's the deal with tyres.... I heard that with the SR20 club there was a deal where they provided compliance tyres to trash....

If not i have some Dorifto rims anyway....

thanks a heap slip.... look forward to meeting you all....

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
