Drift Fest Zero 2

[Jacobxxx]

Pretty upset i can't make this TBH
Couple friends are real interested though.

[drift kid]

how are the numbers looking? will this event be happening?

[sundee]

Still have had no more sign up.. Still 10 required .
Doubt it hay. Got 2 1/2 weeks till cut off

[pt_y2k]

Thats pretty shit...

[jakel]

I'll enter if I get my car going in the next two weeks, mate might also enter if I end up doing it as well. I really hope this can go ahead I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra if we have to, if there are a few spots left?

[sundee]

Thats pretty shit...

Got that right

[MoNsTaR]

just paid and sent the form XD MAD KEEN!!!!!!!!

[sundee]

Thanks James, have your form, money won't be to far behind .

[sundee]

Only 5 more spots remaining! Hurry up guys, don't miss out on an epic weekend.

[burcoty]

That is fckn awesome!

[Sprinter Freak]

fuck yea, looks like this might be happening :)

[drift kid]

when is the cut off date?

[Matt]

​Very soon... Get registered if you want it to happen

[drift kid]

yeah I was one of the first to registwr and pay lol

[givemesideways]

So do you still need five more people do make it run?

[sundee]

Sure do

[givemesideways]

One of my friends is registering tonight with my car. I'll try get a second one tomorrow.

[givemesideways]

He just registered now and money to follow tomorrow.

[sundee]

Got rego, cheers

[givemesideways]

Hope we make the numbers

[un533n]

should be there or bloody close!!

[sundee]

Right... ive gone through the entry forms any counted up the payments and we only ended up with 16.


thoughts?

[burcoty]

I'm happy with that. So long as everyone else is I'll transfer over when I get paid.

[sundee]

i need every single person to agree to this for it to go ahead.

[Bert70]

just paid :0 cant wait

[givemesideways]

I agree for sure. I'll transfer Thursday when I get wages and my mate will transfer his rego by then too.

[MoNsTaR]

yep, im happy

[Matt]

Ill throw in 250 towards the 1000. Pay the extra guys and on the day you'll get a refund of a few $$$

[Jacobxxx]

Fuck you're a top bloke Matt

[pt_y2k]

So whats the go? Got a pm from Joel saying its cancelled? Can we pay the extra amount or is it gone?? What a shit buzz!! :thumbdown::thumbdown:

[Matt]

At this stage yep, but there might be something that can be done to revive it...

Will have a chat to joel in the morning.

[maxhag]

I am happy to pay the extra $60.....

I get the SR86 back from the chassis aligners tomorrow! Was so looking forward to DF2.........

[Bert70]

I have a mate that wants to come I can pay the sarvo or is it deffently not going ahead ?

[burcoty]

Im happy to chip another 100 towards this but unfortunately atm that's all I can afford.
Not even sure if ima make it yet, will really be a last minute thing for me if I can..
Between Matt, Bert's mate and myself that only leaves $400 remaining to split between the other 14 drivers... ?

[Matt]

We all want this to run... and cancelling is the last resort.

[sundee]

Ok... So I'm absolutely gutted that its all come to this.
I had a good think last night while staring at my bedroom roof..

If all entrants agree to give up their portion which was going towards food,
Everyone would only need to chip in $30 each.

This is the absolute cheapest option.

Thanks to the guys who offered up more then what anyone should pay.
I think if we do this, it's affordable for everyone involved and its not really an expense rather then pocket change.

Again, post your thoughts, I'm just waiting to hear back from Raleigh about it as well.
Maybe they will be lenient on us ;)

[meadan]

Ill pay $100 to come spectate/passenger/help out.

Can transfer it right now if it will help keep it alive?

The registration page doesnt work for me though?

[Matt]

Ok we are good to go...

Extra payment will be required, but not a huge amount.

Enjoy guys!

[maxhag]

^^ good news Matt....

re; Joel - So, do we bring our own food now?

[jay70]

neither of my cars are ready ): anyone heading from qld is welcome to borrow my trailer if needed. just don't break it

[sundee]

I have only heard back from about 4 guys about this last option.
I really need to get the "ok" from everyone.
I'm leaving it till tonight.. I can't leave it go any longer, Raleigh needs to know what we are doing.
Ill even take into account the money's guys have put up if I don't hear back from many ( which to be honest I bet I don't)
And see where we are at... I reckon it's still going to be short.
There are 3 guys out of the 16 who want a refund. But I won't have guys like that who can't get their shit together ruin it for the committed .

[Bert70]

I'm happy to put in the extra

[burcoty]

As b4 im happy to put in the extra, can transfer tomorrow when I get paid.

[pt_y2k]

Im happy to pay extra amount! car still isnt ready either so must really get my act together ha!!

@Jay70, im gonna be renting a trailer anyway so happy to pay you for yours if your game! :)

[jay70]

yeah no worries paul. let me know when you want to pick it up

[givemesideways]

I'm well happy to put in as much as is needed to keep this alive. Ps I still to pay up $160 for my wife and kids to come for the weekend.

[sundee]

We have had a few amongst us offer to put in money to make this go ahead.
i have had 2 more drivers rego but no payment yet.
and from what i have heard, a few more are meant to be jumping on board.
SO fingers crossed we will not need to use the money from some generous blokes!

SO in saying that, im very happy to say that this event WILL be going ahead.

To those who have offered cash to keep this event alive, stand by... if we get the numbers by the event, then we wont need to utilize those funds.
you know who you are, and id just like to say thanks to all of you.
we are talking big money guys.. up to $500 from 1 person and they are not even attending the event!
so get on board, lets grow this event to be one awesome Drift Festival!!


Michael - no worries, just sort it out when you and your fam get their.

[maxhag]

^^ Thats really good to hear Joel..... And yeah, there are some really good blokes in this community.

I will just mention, everyone should appreciate the efforts made by Joel to run the event..... In theory, it sounds somewhat easy to get an event up and running, but believe me, I've looked into it a few times, and it's alot responsibility/time/money to have carrying on your shoulders.....
Thanks bud......
Are you driving this time?

[sundee]

Thanks for your comments JoJo...and your dead right, its not an easy thing to do.
might get a few laps in... just depends on how much help ive got..

speaking of... anyone who is willing to give a hand to marshal thought sat and sun, let me know.
if we can get a few guys then we can split it up

[MoNsTaR]

I'm more then happy for you to drive my car if its done in time, its the least i could
do.

[drift kid]

oh hell yea im still keen as!

[AJPS]

good to see guys!

[meadan]

Paid for spectating/passengering/helping.

Ill have free space in the ute and wheels to borrow if anyone is in need.

[Matt]

A few lessons have been learnt from this event.... And thanks to everyone who was patient throughout the "it may be cancelled phase"

[sundee]

to add a bit more vibe to this event, i have managed to organise some Prizes.
Ichiban Imports have got on board and will be supplying 3 x prize packs ( contents TBC )

We will be running a Big entry comp some time during the day, with prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd.

also pending on email replies. we might have comp ran for best Link up between the sweeper and turn 5. (joJo's corner) ;)
This would be ran over the whole weekend, and pending donations, we may have a prize for best Nissan and Toyota in that category.

any suggestions for comps is welcome

[maxhag]

Sounds too good :D

[Matt]

Who will win the Trent award.

Most times off the track

[maxhag]

^^ "Most Violent Off" award......

[Bert70]

Can't wait

[meadan]

"I fucking got this" award

Could also put up some markers to see who can get the closest without knocking them over...

[maxhag]

^^^ Yeah, the marker can be Joels camera again....... hahaha :P :P :P

[sundee]

[pt_y2k]

Delighted I Can actually get excited for this now..:D hope I have the car ready,ha!

[maxhag]

cone with go pro mounted to top..;)

I hope your sponsored by Go Pro then Joel..... hahahahahahaa

[sundee]

i actually have a hook up if you in need of a go pro ;)

[t-nol]

I'd love to be there to claim my own catagory, but i just couldn't get there. You guys all have fun, you'd have to try pretty hard not to because its such a great event. See you guys soon.

[drift kid]

so fucking keen for this!!!! better get this trailer registered! lol

[blinded]

Soooo....

I've finally got my Uni Exam Timetable and my first exam is over a week after this, so, I am looking at all my options to make coming to this a possibility, but I have a question/favour to ask that might make it easier to get there.

I am fairly certain that my missus won't be able to come on the drive with me, so instead Jake might be riding shotgun on the trek there, but in a worse case scenario, if he can't make it, being that it is a good 12hr drive to Raleigh from Wagga Wagga, I was wondering if I was to leave here on the Thursday afternoon after work, is there a possibility of being able to crash at a Sydney person's house for the night then on the Friday convoy the rest of the way to the track with them and/or the other Sydney guys? This means that I would be able to break the drive up as driving 12 hrs in the day before a 2 day drift fest would be hard work! I would then also need the same sort of thing in reverse for the drive home on Monday/Tuesday. The problem is that I will have a car trailer so that would mean I'd need to be somewhere that I can park in the street etc.

I know it is a huge ask, but if there is a possibility, I'd be very grateful :) Would love to make it to this!

[givemesideways]

Hi Alex. I've got the perfect place for you to stay in Newcastle if you want. Me and the wife have a full spare room to offer you. Heaps of parking as well. I'll drive down the Friday too so convoy might be action. It's there if you want no problem

mick

[Matt]

My place is ok too...

[blinded]

Hi Alex. I've got the perfect place for you to stay in Newcastle if you want. Me and the wife have a full spare room to offer you. Heaps of parking as well. I'll drive down the Friday too so convoy might be action. It's there if you want no problem

mick

Awesome Mick, that sounds fantastic!

Definitely like the sound of breaking the trip up then convoying together Friday.

Matt, appreciate the offer too, but I might head through to Newcastle to get a bit more done on Thursday. :)

Now with that sorted, where do I find the registration/payment form! :D

[drift kid]

so the tyre machine will definately be available?

[Matt]

so the tyre machine will definately be available?

The old one will be there from last time, which was a bit sketchy... I have a mate with one who i will ask about borrowing his one, plan was to buy one but with the event running / not running I bought another 86 instead.

[jakel]

Old one wasn't too bad just don't get upset when your wheels get scratched from it haha.

[Matt]

I think it was more the operators not really knowing how to remove the old tyres from the rim...

[sundee]

But at least it was slightly entertaining.
Alex - just click the event link in the tool bar at top of page.
Click drift fest and your on your way.
Any issues just give us a hollar.

Matt - you brought another 86??

[Matt]

Well 3 actually. Plans for each will be revealed once they are reality and not just a shell sitting in my back yard. But it is safe to say it'll take 12 months to get them done.

The button EVENTSis the button you want to click on.

[jakel]

I think it was more the operators not really knowing how to remove the old tyres from the rim...

-.- I still blame the machine it was pretty average but still better than nothing.

[maxhag]

I wanted to set fire to that machine......

[drift kid]

and popping my tyres on with a little fire wont be frowned upon?

[blinded]

And I am all paid for :)

Can't wait!

[givemesideways]

All good Alex. What car are you bringing? Turbo? Not long now.

[sundee]

and popping my tyres on with a little fire wont be frowned upon?

Whatever floats your boat. Just don't blow up or set fire to the place

[drift kid]

maaad and when is the latest you need to know spectators? I have three passengers for whole weekend and one spectator for whole weekend all confirmed

[blinded]

All good Alex. What car are you bringing? Turbo? Not long now.

4agte KE70!

[maxhag]

and popping my tyres on with a little fire wont be frowned upon?

You mean like this? :P :P

g8z25ewbaOg

bV-ajuSllZU

[drift kid]

haha the shenanigans! I csnt wait! :)

[sundee]

hmm wonder who that doosh bag is that burnt his arm in the process of fitting 195's on a 10" rim.... hmmm

i need to know about all passangers and spectators that want in for food.
if you pay on the day there is no guarentee that there will be enough food for them.
eveyone payed will be issued a wrist band on the day.

Spectator entry is $30 per day or $50 for the entire weekend and includes camping and food.

Passenger entry is $40 per day or $70 for the entire weekend and includes camping and food

Camping is $15 for friday .

[drift kid]

haha thats exactly the tyre size im planning on stretching lol and can I pay the $15 for friday night when I get there?

[sundee]

Yeah man no worries, we will have a BBQ Friday night so just need to know who
Will be their.
You can sort out payment when you get there

[drift kid]

awsome, I dare say we will be late on friday night though

[Matt]

Those who are getting in stupidly late just pull up away from the main tent areas.

[meadan]

Are we all gonna meet and venture up together again?

Im thinking ill book the friday for annual leave aswell to get there nice and early to setup my massive tent again!

[sundee]

Haha, yeah we can all meet up for the treck up.
Thought the times will be a lot more strict this time around.
Because we have no daylight savings, sunset will be around 5pm.
Raleigh being in a ditch (literally) darkness will pretty much be set in by 5pm.
There maybe some twilight but I doubt it.
I'm aiming to be on the road by 8am this time ( from thronleigh maccas)
Gives up plenty of time to setup, collect fire wood and settle in.

[meadan]

we can meet there at 8am if you like, leave 8:30 on the dot?

Ill also have my room for my 4wd fridge this time, want me to save some space for the food in it?

[sundee]

Yeah man, this week I'm organising the food, since I'm bringing the S13 I'm gonna be tight on space.
Might need to rent some space to cart some things up

[meadan]

All good man, seeing food is being provided I wont have much of my own stuff in there.

Ive got a 40L fridge to fit whatever u want in there, and Ill bring an esky for drinks and other stuff too. I should have plenty of space if you run out.

[Matt]

Ill have a heap of room.

[nathanS]

Hey guys, SOOOOOOOOO keen for this!!! only 2 weeks now :P
Now that ive sold the porsche i have a shitload of room if anything else needs bringing, ill be bringing a 120L esky too so theres that if any meat, drinks, need freezing lol
and my place in newcastle is open for anyone that needs a place to stop over on the thursday or friday on their way up, me and my brother should be leaving friday afternoon from newwy.

cant wait for some supra barge dredging / 5me hand grenading :D YOLO! haha




INB4 YOLO bashing lol

[nathanS]

also Joel, do you think this will pass noise restrictions now?

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/6/3/0/1/508221.jpg (http://s214.photobucket.com/user/james_samulski/media/943285_10151362604972687_1075141374_n_zps04b05e9b. jpg.html)

iv two big eskys to bring too and a small fridge if needs be. cant wait for this!!! been waiting sooo long. sick of looking me car and not driving it .

[sundee]

For guys who haven't been to Raleigh before, there is no electricity where we camp.
I'm trying to source a generator, if anyone has any connections let me know. I had one last time but the boss I Had at the time, well I pissed him right off and don't work for him anymore so that's out of the question.

Eski's will be great! Bring them along

Also


pre payed entries close on 27th May, your payment must be received by this date. Anyone entering after this date will not be accounted for, for catering purposes

[givemesideways]

i should be able to come up with a generator. ill ask the boss tomorrow and find out for sure but cant see any problem.

[nathanS]

Yeah couldnt be arsed cutting and welding in the muffler, therefor, INSTANT BOZO lol :P and nope its not a joke....thats how its running haha


Hey michael, im at tanilba bay, about 15 min from RAAF Base williamtown,




Joel 2 things,


1. I have a pallet of silicon and chemiweld + bulk zip ties. i'll be sweet lol, plus i'll just bolt the head down to its minimum torque setting, head gasket blows = just tighten it more and more till the head bolts go through the sump lol
She'll have dat sweet 5m purrr, knowhatimsayin ;)


and 2. i'll be bringing my 2800w inverter also so we can run a few things of that too.


This whole weekend will be a game of "How fast does nathan have to enter the corner in order to get the 12 tonne barge with 2hp sideways" lol

[givemesideways]

ill be right behind you in the 20v powered ke70. nees stockies to get it sliden me thinks>>>>>

[nathanS]

I think I'm going to be running 7" wide on the back just to get it there also.
any prizes for slowest drift after fastest entry? lol

[givemesideways]

ill take you up on that/// gonna have to get used to handbrake entrys too

[meadan]

ill be running my fridge off my aux battery, its usually good to power it for a week or so :P
But Ill see if I can track down a generator or another inverter from someone at work.

[blinded]

Hey Joel just thought id let you know that I will have a +1 with me who will need food! They will pay on the day (once I know who is coming out of Jake and Sam). Also my payment to you included the 15 clams for camping Friday night. Paid on Thursday so hopefully you should see it soon, if not already!

[nathanS]

Ill be there with James late Friday. Ill pay you the 30
for me and my +1 then instead of dealing with netbank again. Is that okay?

[drift kid]

whats the deal, can we have small contained fires?

[givemesideways]

just transfering 160 now joel for - 70 for my wife to camp and go in the car for the weekend - plus our two kids for weekend (sat/sun) plus me and the missus for friday night

[sundee]

There is only 1 fire allowed. It will be the main fire.
There will be fuel all over the place and we also don't want to set all the grass on fire.

Michael - no worries.

[maxhag]

ill be right behind you in the 20v powered ke70. nees stockies to get it sliden me thinks>>>>>

At least tyres are cheap for you guys :P

I think most of the N/A guys only used 1-2 pairs of tyres all weekend at DF01....

[Matt]

Only this fire

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/5/3/4/9/405722.jpg

[Sprinter Freak]

Hey guys, haven't been following this thread enough, what's the go so far? I'm guessing its going ahead by reading the last few pages, do we have to pay more cause we don't have the numbers? Or did we meet the minimum numbers needed? Oh and Joel can I check that one and my brothers entry is still good, paid for me and my brother Ross like 6 months ago, just want to Make sure both the payments transferred over from the past cancelled event.

[Matt]

Also i won't name who it was, but if anyone thinks it is a good idea to try and jump over the fire at this event, you will be asked to leave. Last thing we need is some idiot falling on the fire.

And i know it sounds high schoolish, but keep a safe distance from it and not ruin it for everyone.

[MoNsTaR]

im sorry for jumping over the fire, i wont do it again :(

lol don't know what i was doing, went through 6 pairs at the first event....

[MoNsTaR]

i may be able to get some used tyres from a couple places, ill get as many 13, 14, 15" tyres as i can get.

[blinded]

185/60/14 please! :-P

[givemesideways]

5kva generator scored I think. Can get a 2kva one as well if we need it??

Went to warm me car up this eve and wouldn't ya know it clutch master cylinder f**ked up. Gonna get new one ASAP.

Ill have some spare stockies with me to rip to shreds ������

[maxhag]

lol don't know what i was doing, went through 6 pairs at the first event....


I said "most" :P :P :P

[sundee]

Awesome Michael!! 5 kva is heaps
It's just to run lights at night and some music.
I've got a few lights, but if anyone else has some to help light up the camp site it might help.

[drift kid]

okay as long as there is a camp fire :)

[meadan]

Ill bring along my gazebo again, anyone know what the weather is meant to be like?

[sundee]

okay as long as there is a camp fire :)

See previous page.


Ill bring along my gazebo again, anyone know what the weather is meant to be like?

It will be cold, especially over night, but its saying 12 - 13'c lows and high of 22'c
30% chance rain sat and sun
40% chance rain Friday
With no hi chance of rain fall in the days preceding or following.

Wind from south veering westerly by Sunday at 3kts

Raleigh being in a hole - it will be down to about 8'c over night I reckon.
Depending on the temp/dew point we might see a heavy fog in the mornings.

Don't leave anything out at night that you don't want to get wet. Because it will be even with no rain.

Pack like your going on a snow trip.
It's easier to cool down then warm up.

Will have actuall accurate weather closer to date.

[Matt]

Thread re-opened... well done joel :P

[maxhag]

Ill bring along my gazebo again, anyone know what the weather is meant to be like?


Yeah, bring it for when I change my diff again.... :P :P :P

[drift kid]

im trying to register my mate that's towing me up tuere but tue application form wont process now for some reason

[meadan]

Yeah, bring it for when I change my diff again.... :P :P :P

haha, I guess I should bring my impact gun too then.

[Matt]

Couple of minor issues with the rego forms, which i'll fix when i get motivation / time. But i see it came through now.

[sundee]

Just a note anyone who iscamping and NOT driving, must pay either spectator or passenger fees.
If you don't you will not be able to camp at all.

[givemesideways]

I got three more spectators to pay for now. One has a 4 year old, eh will she need to pay the full $65 for Fri, sat and Sunday?

[sundee]

Michael, pm me with their names
And what you require.

Cheers

Joel.

[Matt]

Friday week guys , can't wait.

[ae8zn6]

So Jealous :(
Hope you guys have an awesome time...

One day work will not prevent me from going to something like this :(

[nathanS]

I hope I can get my engine together in time :-/ haha.
i will bring some floodlights to help light up the camp, plus a gazebo and bullshit large tarp aswell

[drift kid]

fuh yea, a little worried about noise restrictions though :/

[Matt]

$80 at an exhaust shop and it'll be quiet

[drift kid]

not guna happen sadly, too much other shit to sort out, I'll sort something out, how reliable are decibel meter apps? ive never fully trusted it..

[meadan]

theyre usually pretty close...

Mine was nice and quiet with one oval muffler and one big ass cannon (both straight through).
I think phouc was just ok with his buddy club spec 2 and just a home made baffle on the end.

[sundee]

fuh yea, a little worried about noise restrictions though :/

The DB apps work well, need it set to A weighting.
10m at 5k I think.. Don't do it near a shed or building. Open area on concrete. Level with exhaust

[drift kid]

yeah I did exaxtly that and it was over, I have one oval muffler and it's a 2.25" system into twin 2.5" blastpipes, looks like baffle time

[nathanS]

Which db app are you using Joel?

[sundee]

Studio six is the one to use.

Ben - how much over were you?

[Matt]

I need an app like that for the guy I sit next to at work who moans as if he is fucking his food instead of eating it

[sundee]

A shovel to the face would fix that.

[givemesideways]

Hey just quick what is the max db value? Just double checking my car right now.

[Matt]

Read the first post in this thread...

Posted below.

[sundee]

94.5 Dba @ 10m @ 6000rpm

[meadan]

Only a week away!

Ive been stocking up on memory cards so I can get a heap of pictures and videos! Slightly annoyed my gopro(cheapo version) broke a few days ago.

Whos keen to meet at thornleigh maccas at 8AM for the drive up?
Im thinking leave BEFORE 8:30 to get there while its still light.

Keep in mind the traffic in the morning will be reasonably crap in sydney, so the earlier the start the better.

[sundee]

We will be departing thronleigh maccas at 0800 on the dot.
Taking into account fuel and lunch stops that's gives us an ETA of 1500.
If anyone wants to convoy up these are the times.
If the maccas carpark is full, we will meet in the overflow car park at the end of the street, turn left at roundabout and right into the overflow carpark.

[meadan]

Ok cool, 8am it is then.

Ill be there, hopefully I dont need as many fuel stops as last time. Anyone going to be on CB's again this time?
They came in pretty handy for myself and phil last time...

[Matt]

is phil coming again or is he too busy washing his car?

[sundee]

Phil and drew are not coming up for this one..
There will be alot of new faces at this event boys

[maxhag]

Well, after trying to re fit the exhaust so there is no stress on it, I have given up....... The existing exhaust no longer fits because my chassis was re aligned...

This has pretty much put an end to my hopes of making it to raleigh next week.... I have already borrowed enough money from people at the moment, and I can def not spare even $50.etc to have this fixed.....
so Close, but so far.....

I am so fucking annoyed, words cannot explain......

I know it's such a small thing, as its all pretty close to fitting, up, only slightly off, but I literally have no money...... The only money I have is enough for petrol for the tow and drift car...

[sundee]

post picture now!

[maxhag]

the zaust is in 3 pieces, all with flange joins.... its all only about 50mm off......
But, I cant weld, and cant afford to take it to a shop....
For anyone who could weld, iam sure it wouldn't be difficult....
But iam not leaving canberra, unless my car is 100%...... (iam not one of those guys who takes a NOT going car to a drift event and spends the whole time fixing it. Lamo!) I havent even had a chance to test drive the car, which was a main thing to do before taking the car anywhere... I've only driven it to the wheel aligner........

[maxhag]

Ok, Problem will be solved....Someone is helping me out tomorrow....

[MoNsTaR]

Im starting to doubt my ke70 will be done, still have to finnish the engine, manifold, tune it, wheel allignment, weld the diff and on top of that finnish nathans head and service the tow car.... looks like ill be using the cappuccino again :) hopefuly this time someone has a white ae86, and we can reinact initial d

[maxhag]

^^^^ Fark dude......

And I thought I had problems........

[MoNsTaR]

Yea, I've been getting to work early and finnishing late for the past month to get it all done, but lack of funds means youre always waiting on parts.

[maxhag]

Hey guys,

Is there anyone thats coming this week, that has any spare T series drum brake axles which they could bring? (which i could purchase if I need to?)

Would be much appreciated....

[sundee]

James mate, you are well behind the 8 ball on this one.
That's a nightmare , long long nights ahead if u want that thing running in 3-4 days.

Jojo I don't but if you find any I'm Sydney I can pick them up for you, preferably not north of the bridge,
Need to rack some Km's on this new SR before the drive on Friday

[nathanS]

He will have the car finished don't worry about that. I'm driving down to Sydney after work every night this week leading up to the event to help him get it finished lol it better be ready, I'm not driving 4 hrs round trip every night to see a red roller skate spin out every corner again ;) haha

[maxhag]

Ok. Well my string of bad luck continues....... As I went to take my car to someone to fix the exhaust, I have broken an axle or the locked centre.... One wheel lifted as I was backing out of the driveway, and BANG BANG BANG. GONE!!!!!
Anyway, the exhaust issue is all fixed now, but I have to go to my mates work tomorrow (where the car was getting zaust work done) to go and fit up a new 2 way centre and replace an axle if needed.........




Anyway, Below is the reason I put myself thru so much shit..........

NqO8yp5f1IM


Getting pretty psycked now :P

[drift kid]

yeah I still have to register my car trailer and get tge sprinter tuned pluss make it quietet..

[MoNsTaR]

, I'm not driving 4 hrs round trip every night to see a red roller skate spin out every corner again ;) haha

Spinning out is still better then replacing headgaskets

[Matt]

Who is meeting at Thornleigh maccas?

Getting really close now

[nathanS]

And who's in/near Newcastle that wants to convoy too?

[givemesideways]

im near newcastle. think me and alex will convoy friday morn some time.

hey joel what time do you think you will be passing newy???

[givemesideways]

ps joel whats the story with toilets at raleigh? and do i need to bring my cams licence?

[Bert70]

I'm near Newcastle but going up sat morning

[Jdm-Mcc]

This is super late notice I know but is anyone coming down from brisbane, close to brisbane, or even further north?
There is an engine package I need to be picked up in brisbane and brought down to drift fest! if anybody thinks this is remotely possible please let me know and I will pay with dollars and or sexual favours!

edit: all good guys, old man river hasnt even got the motor out yet

[givemesideways]

95.5 db in a cul de sac with plenty of echos is not to bad i think. hope it works on the day>>>>>

[sundee]

We can meet you guys from Newcastle at Hexham? We should pass the 7eleven / subway at around 10 - 10:30.
Plenty of room to wait on the road side, as we pass, jump on the train.
I can give someone my number and I can call when we come off the freeway near the interchange

[blinded]

That sounds like a good plan Joel. Bigger the convoy the better I think. That way if anyone has problems during the trip we can sort it out!

[sundee]

And toilets are a 30 second walk from the camp site..
There is a shower, but if its the same as last time, only the brave braved it... Imagine being a germaphobe in real life... Yep that what you act like for the 5 mins your in the shower... But hay its got hot water.
The shower is about 100m from camp.

[maxhag]

^^ Joel, If the shower is in the same state (or worse, if thats even possible), I have already decieded I am going to clean it.......

Iam not kidding, I am gonna clean that fucker out........ After a long dirty day, I am sure many will want to scrub their balls......

[nathanS]

^hahahaha

and yeah Joel if you could swing me your number that would be good.

also just a thought on prizes, there's gotta be a jojo prize for worst luck for the weekend, because shit man you're having a rough time :-/

[sundee]

Your brother would be a good contender as well.

Jojo you better bring your space suit, that job requires maximum protection.

[maxhag]

Re; Shower

Special on brake cleaner at the moment - 5 cans for $15.... :P :P :P

Iam serious......

[maxhag]

^hahahaha

and yeah Joel if you could swing me your number that would be good.

Good idea, except, surely I would always win anyway (or lose, depends which way you look at it, lol)

[ae8zn6]

No way Jo, your not lucky enough to win anything :P

[AIROCOBRA]

Good NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JO JO , the other drama !!!!!!! ( the one you did not know about ) . The tow vehicle , well the collapsed wheel bearing , has been fixed !!!!!! All good niow and back on the road. Something about this trip , bloody front end fell apart 2 days before leaving last year . Suppose the good news is it didn't happen on the way and it is one way of making me service and maintain the poor bloody thing.

[MoNsTaR]

Well, you're out of the running for the jojo award,

[AIROCOBRA]

Well actually I am part of it ------ I am Jo Jo's tow driver and vehicle !!!!!!!

[Matt]

Just a reminder it is going to be bloody cold

[blinded]

Just a reminder it is going to be bloody cold

What is happening in regards to fire wood for the weekend? Figure we will want a fair bit during the evenings/night.

[maxhag]

Well, I think it's clear Bob wins the "JoJo" award, just for the fact that he is unlucky enough to be paired up with me.......

[sundee]

You guys are crazy cats!
Maintenance guys maintenance !

Fire wood - we all go for a treck into the near forest and collect as much as we can.
Just like camping.. Plenty of "stand back" to start it, so we should be good .

Forecast is for lows of 12'c and highs of 20'c.
Saturday - cloudy, chance of rain
Sunday - partly cloudy, chance of shower.
Monday - same as Sunday .

So in saying that, the nights won't be that cold, cloud cover holds in the radiant heat.
But pre pair for some water...

[sundee]

If you would like to keep an eye on the forecast, here is a reliable source .

[jakel]

Shame you're not in brisbane haha. Someone from work was doing head gasket on a ma70 and took a million pictures to remember where everything goes and him and someone else couldn't find where something went and one of the other guys at work just walked past and pointed and said "goes there" haha. They used to do a few every day though when they were warranty no machine or anything just clean it up slap a headgasket on it and get rid of it haha.

[nathanS]

I have everything in!.....minus two sensors on the head which I need to find out where they go...but then I can start it! Haha

[jakel]
