Wakefield Park Track Day - Friday 16th of August!!

[foamy]

All good Mr GT, the plugs were swimming in their own filth. Put some new plugs in and it runs like a dream. We will be there with bells on, sorry to scare you

KE70 related, does anybody have some AE86 power steering arms? I need them to run these coilovers. Failing that it's stock KE70 brakes!

[simmosideways]

Took the car for a decent drive today after fitting the exhaust and my fuel map is all over the place. booked in for a retune this friday. Shit's getting tight on time. Brake pads are currently in DHL warehouse in OHIO...

Well it looks like the car is alright..... I'll be buying a spare set of plugs haha
Better post up a list:

1. Install coolant temp gauge and lebo spec 8" monster tacho
2. Flush coolant and bleed (got a 20L drum of blue Cummins coolant which looks awesome)
3. Finish seat mount (or just run full grandma spec seating?)
4. Fit AE86 arms and the AE86 strut/hub/coilover/brake setup
5. Machine rotors + new pads
6. Bleed brakes all round, tip in whatever RBF660 I have left
7. Oil and filter change
8. Work out if the diff/box oil I put in is ok
9. Run spanner over everything
10. Collect wheels from Vito, get new old tyres fitted
11. Put oil pressure fitting in side of the block and run a stauff gauge zip tied to the column.
12. Brace the bottom of the intercooler so it doesnt snap the top mounts off
13. Buy a V6 commo air filter to fit the air box lol

I think that's about it and I have Sunday to get it done....
Need to double check I'm good to borrow the car trailer and work out how many cartons will be required to secure it lol

will miss this one but defo keen for november!

Good to hear Rob, will hopefully get a chance to check out the poopra then. Schmitt, money's come through. Dneg/foamy, sounds like you've got a bit to do this weekend. I saw you start your list and thought good idea, might post mine as well... about halfway through i felt a bit weak, then just felt tired. I don't actually have that much i need to do...

Simmo, pads will be here before you realise it, your only risk is customs/Oz Post. I had an amazon order recently that i ordered on the thursday arvo, and arrived at my house first thing (pre 7am) monday morning. That included a 6 hour drive from dispatch to Indianapolis airport. It was at customs in Sydney at midnight on the friday - about 30 hours after placing the order - but didn't clear there until late saturday i think.

So i rang the Pelican yesterday arvo; man, i think i've sunk to a new low - got a talking to from phil at the pelican re the drifters incident... anyway, we've got 2 apartments there only as the other two are already booked by some workers. So we have to be on our best behaviour apparently, or we'll be banned for life. 10-12+ years of no issues means little apparently. Anyway, we'll need to be considerate of the workers so no loud partying (unless they want to join in..?) and we're already full on the Friday with 11.

Oh and that 11 means Vito and Katja score a double bed, as that's the only way we can fit 11. I get the other double bed, just so we're clear. We have room for 2 more on the thursday, but i've got a maybe for one of those already. Anyone looking to stay with us let me know asap, i'm more than happy to organise things with the MWSCC guys in town, they've usually got a couple of spare spots or we can organise extra rooms or whatever.

If someone's weird about it, i'm happy to stay in town with them after hanging out at the Pelican - we'll figure it out.

Bringing the mistress, not the missus? Think we're square from last time.

cool, ill bring a couple of spare dollarbucks just in case.

Money sent. Staying Thursday and Friday night.
Now just have to get all those little last minute things finished on the car.

Ben

this is also good news! we can dorp the shit out of everyone again.
looks like its going to be an good day out.

[Draven]

of all the things we've done and people who've been there, for you to get us banned from the Pelican would be an injustice

[dnegative]

Fuck me, its going to be a messy Friday morning lol

[trdee]

it always is. just bought a bottle of the aldi $25 bourbon to test out and, whilst i admit it is fairly craptacular, it is still better than a $40 bottle of jim beam... ill be buying another bottle or two to bring along now that i know it can be drunk

[Draven]

that being said Vito, a $1.50 bottle of petrol would taste better than a $40 bottle of Jim Beam

[-GT-]

Greg, tell me about it.

So, the list of confirmed cars is looking pretty interesting, got a good mix there - but there's some crackers in the maybes pile as well;
early rx7 turbo
Ben's SW20
Brendan's AW11
Matt's SW20
Damo's supercharged 325i
Elise S, and,
a blown E92 V8 M3. EDIT: Blown M3 is out.

Unfortunately i don't think any of them are even 50/50 on making it, except maybe the SA22 rx7 and the Elise, but i'm keeping fingers crossed.

Edit: Roundy, Dneg, money's come through.

[Cutters]

I would have loved to bought The Blue Robin down, But trying to get Raven finished for Toyfest which is taking up all my time and money
But defiantly count me in for the November on if it goes ahead

Hope you all have fun

[-GT-]

Yeah and i missed getting a look at it last time - but November will definitely be on, we book these well in advance and they always happen. Given there's been a few people say they're definite for November maybe i should start that thread soon and make you commit in there...

[dnegative]

[trdee]
