7 weeks to get some seats & harnesses fitted.
Anyone got some suggestion about who to go to, to get some runners done for the seats?
Ok so our next day is right around the corner already; only 7 weeks to go!
All the usual stuff will be the same, apart from Warwick who has 'retired' as the organiser, so the morning briefing should be a little more to the point, and generally productive. Nothing is really changing though, just the MWSCC guys and I will be shouldering a little extra load. There should be a noticable drop in the amount of terrible jokes though, i apologise in advance for that but nobody's jokes are as shit as Warwicks.
Cost is $200 per car, anybody who's been will attest it's awesome value for the amount of track time you get. Given the slight decline in numbers we've been seeing the amount of available track per car goes up so i guess there's some upside. Personally i'd prefer to see the days break even and continue to be viable for us to run, so if you and a mate or two are keen to get out there with us, make sure you get them organised and make it along to the remaining days this year to show your support for us running these for 10+ years (Warwick did it for 14 years).
Remaining days this year are this one, 16th of August and 8th of November.
We run a limited number of cars so you pay per car and can cycle as many drivers through one car as you like, it's open track all day with a limit of 12 on circuit and a one in one out basis. I currently have at least 15 spots reserved for Toymodders, and can usually grab a couple more if we fill these up quick enough.
All the usual info, thursday and friday nights at the Pelican station next to the track, bring CAMS or valid driver's licence, helmet, neck/wrist/ankle length clothing, sleeping bag, pillow and beverages if staying (accom is about $40/night depending on numbers).
No official timing means cheaper insurance (and therefore track time) and passengers are allowed for 'driver training purposes', but feel free to organise your own timing gear.
So, when you commit to coming, i will PM bank details to transfer to (incl for accomodation to book spots), then when i see the coin ($200 + $40/night) i will add you to this...

Yeah there was basically right on 2 months between the last one and this, so by the time you debrief for a week or two, this one is right on you - hence why i wanted to make sure i got the thread started early, so everyone's aware, up to speed and organised to get there! Would be good to see a few of you guys who haven't been for a while.
Steve, no idea on getting custom rails made, but any metalwork should be able to knock them up with the right measurements? Easiest would be off the shelf though, tried ebay, yahoo.jp and the KDM equivalent?
I've got suspension bushes all round to do, plus new castor and camber adjustment - not even going to try and get the ecu install done.

Someone or somebody will make Excel seat rails, plenty of Habibs out there with them lol
Except now I've got a higher priority of trying to get a hydraulic handbrake fitted by the Sunday before this. Discovered last weekend that caliper handbrake onto disc not work very well on dirt, let alone a tarmac event...
So now I'm trying to find a lever, brake bias valve, and someone to help me re-route the rear lines and mount everything.
I'am going to aim to have the new project car ready for this date ill finish of the to do list this weekend and then just needs a tune and good wheel alignment as long as that all goes to plan count me in for sure, been waiting for this day for quiet a while now. Will be good to start testing the car out and see what she is capable of hehe

Hey Cutters, sounds good, what sort of car is it?
List updated, got a few guys getting organised early, which is good to see. I've ordered a few suspension bits so should at least have consistent geometry again, and maybe some slight improvements! I'm cautiously optimistic new bushes removes a chunk of the understeer that has crept into it, i've been a bit frustrated with it but hoping it's been a gradual decline so i hadn't noticed. With a bit of luck it'll get tail happy again. And maybe even let me power out of corners! But i should get ahead of myself...
Oh, also, have finally got a couple of clips up from the last day, i'll chuck the links in that thread. Think it's just the civic and evo at this stage, but the supra clips shouldn't be too far off. Been having interwebs fails at home.
