hmm...

yes yes yes, the skills day was pretty much rained out yesterday. it was wwwwwet!

re: pas, they are continuing the race-bred theme. theyve got video footage of track events and the drift day - and are apparently looking to have time trials with gran Turismo on PS2 set up.

New shirts are being organised, with plastic numberplates as per the thread in the general SAUWA section......um....

SST are organising a pre PAS dyno day for SAUWA entrants...more than that I dont really know.

I think I may be along for the SPL input, but I'm really bummed with how my car looks at the moment, and the stereo is butt-ugly, it just sounds loud.....

I'm not keen in putting my car in for the SPL thingo when mine looks as basic as it does.. I have no special fibrglass moulding or latest amp/sub combos.. or in car tv... or neons - though I'm quite happy about that last one.. :D

but you've got a grand and a half install..

with shiny alpha thingies.

Cam, It's not how flash the thing looks, it's how loud the damn thing is:D So people bring stripped out mini's with 20" subs, even yours will look good compared to that:p

Danny, I think Al managed to cover most things, I replied in the PAS thread:D

paully - what difference will it make if we do/don't enter the SPL at PAS?

i.e., will the broader SAUWA community benefit greatly from our participation and in what way? Im happy(ish) to be involved, but I'm wary of the shopping-list history that PAS has had in the past and although I woundnt mind knowing what my car makes spl wise, I'd rather not be seen to be talking up what is really a pretty basic amp and sub combo..

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
