hmmm, i am looking at getting to one, but am concerned about making a "big night". more people = less runs.... So i think i may wait till later and maybe do a toymods gathering, as i feel that having a few clubs turn up will only allow us to get in a few runs.

true true,
but realy there isnt going to be that many cars probably 15 max (from our group) which wont effect how many runs u get.
And honestly if u get there earlier say 5.30 u can have as many runs as u want. One guy got 8 runs last time and he even left early !

Josh is right. There is always heaps of cars there regardless. A couple of extra Toyotas is not going to make a big difference. And on the opposite side of getting heaps of runs is that your car will have more heat in it as there is less time to cool down and therefore run slower times.
Also, it seems as though Wednesdays are actually as busy as Saturdays now from what I have heard. Haven't been on Wednesday though so not 100% sure.
My car is off the road as I am upgrading. Won't be back for a while I don't think as it is too hot to race in Summer!

I am changing diff gears, welding diff, fitting taller tyres, fitted new idle speed control valve, resorted some vacuum lines, reinstalled boost controller different way, wire in MV autos manualising shift box, then rewire wolf to do timing. THROW OUT STOCK ECU! Start making some decent power with a retune

Last time I went on a wednesday I got 8 runs in, and that was with a couple of breaks (ie, hour long breaks). I'd come, but I'd much rather have my 850cc injectors fitted and tuned before I next hit the track.

I would like to, but I got a couple of issues to sort out first, the main thing is the front bumber, its not secured properly, there is movement, would be so embarassed if it fell off half way down the strip lol.
But I am hoping to get it sorted next week.

that would be embarassing 
you could do your runs with the front bar removed?
drive it there with the bar on, then just remove it for the races?
oh and slightly off topic --> http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=4479 that sucks for all who have already bought Celsiors. Anyone lend me 5 grand?

Make matters a bit worse, I hit a dog on Saturday night, was only going about 50 and the dog lived, but ran off, I couldnt find it.
Put a nice big crack down the side of my front bumper, and its even worse now.

Just wondering how this testntune went. Any records by 4A powered cars? or any cars for that matter?
was it extra crowded? I would have gone if I hadn't just been a few weeks back.

Damn, that thing should be in the 13's when sorted on stock turbos. Would be about the same weight as the merc with 2jz and that was running high 13's dead stock but with intercooler, auto shift kit and stally.

Gavin: don't bother waiting for me mate. I have my car manualised now but still have to wire the wolf to do timing and on test drive today my turbo is smoking. Not smoke out of the exhaust but smoke out of turbo so it is either oil in, oil out or seals and need rebuild. I don't think I will be out until February or so, testing before Mini Jam in March.
