Beer Baron, do I add you to the list?

Tommy K, It wil lbe one of the last drive days as the weather starts to hot up, but I undersatnd if the girl comes before your car!

yeah, ad me down thanks mate. I am reviewing some applications at the moment and hopefully wont need to do interviews on the friday.

let's hope the weather stays cool for this one :D

Ok all, 8.30 will be fine as a start time, pay your $120 at the ambo/admin building just before you turn right into the back of the pits.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR CAMS/L2S or PAYMENT RECIEPT if you want to drive. It would be a good idea to bring your SAU membership card incase they ask for it.

You will have to get your car checked over and then we will be ready to rumble.

If everyone is happy to kick in $5 I will grab a garage to put our gear in, they slug you for $25 for one. I will try and grab a tripple and see if we can fit all the lines in the same spot.

Can everyone please number off and confirm your attendance and advise if you are happy to kick in $5 for garage.

See you there. If any one wants to contact me on the day please call me on 0402847826. Thanks

Paul, sounds good, do you want to pm me your number?

I'm really looking forward to it as this may be the last reasonable temp track day for this year. but I now have a board meeting and interviews on friday, but i think i may be able to miss the board meeting, and hold the interviews next week. plus i wanted to:

fit the new FMIC

fit the castor rods

get a wheel allignment

bleed the brakes

fit a WL rear sway bar

at this stage i think all i'll get done out of that lot is bleeding the brakes!

oops, not so smart this week. At this point it's looking more likely that i WILL be there. if necesary i will just bleed the brakes at the track :)

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • 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
