Great day, thanks for organizing Rome.

Took it easy on the way home due to a boost leak but made it fine.

Tom sorry to hear about your pulley problem mate - hope it's not top serious for you

What a fantastic day, otherwise.

Great to meet alot of you guys and special thanks to Rome for organizing this event

We definitely had some fun out there!!

Just wish I found my wastegate boost leak earlier so I wouldve been running a true 18psi rather than 13.3!

Na it's not that bad. Just a pulley and a new belt probably.

Hi guys, Just wanted to say how great it was out there today.
Had a ball on the track and meeting everyone. It was so good seeing 3 b4's out there today too.

Big thanks Jerome, done well mate.

Well done Rome for organising this it was a great day!

I'm stoked with how well the B4 took the punishment and it was great to meet you all. I'm looking forward to seeing some photos posted up as well!

Thanks also to Rome, Mick, and Suj for taking me round in their cars

Something to aspire to...

T'was a truly epic day! Good to meet some new faces, also great to put a face to some of the infamous forum names

All hail Jerome for his organisation skills!
Made it home in one piece with almost legal tread on my rear tires :wink:

Shame I didn't have my Liberty but the stock tune diesel M330 was alot more fun (without any underwear soiling) than I expected after I turned the TC off and a bit faster after I turned the A/C off... DOH! :crazy:

- shaved off almost a second 49.54 to 48.8_

Looking forward to the next club lib track day, hopefully I should have my Liberty back by then :roll:

Catchyas at the BBQ tomorrow

I have plenty of photos and a couple videos coming, admittedly my computer is struggling with processing all that. I'll be up late working on it.

Thanks for organizing the day Rome. Was a fun day and very well run.

cheers for organising rome, great to meet a bunch of like-minded people and put some faces to names

big thankyou to mick and jeremy for their backyard mechanic assistance, unfortunately i got about 2 lots of 2 laps done each time pulling out.

one of the crossmembers/mounting things for the gearbox (running parallel to car body) is secured at one end by two bolts, both of which were missing causing the tranny to hang about 2 inches below where it should, unsecured and free to move up and down. changing momentum of clutch in to change gears meant i could physically feel it move and wasnt comfortable driving it. jacked up and soon found the problem.
went straight to mechanic on way home, got it up on the hoist and his jaw literally dropped. his most senior employee was working on my car yesterday, installing gear selector shift bushings and as a phone call soon determined, remembered it exactly, right up to the part where he put those bolts in barely finger tight, adjusted something else and then answered his phone....forgot to torque up those bolts so vibration from the 200km trip down there and 1.5 laps of marulan made them come unstuck and fall out
no more personal calls at work for this guy :lol:

mechanic will reimburse me for track day costs no problem, its just unlucky that shit like this happens, nothing much i can do about it now

time to go out pick up some girls and have a good ending to the day :wink:

see y'all at the garage tomorrow

by **HoFF** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 8:11 pm

Good to see it sorted Ed. Especially him paying for the track day

by **PoidaGT** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 8:23 pm

Great day Jerome

Welldone and thanks for organising.

It was fantastic to meet everyone and looking forwards to the next track event.

Now I have to organise my next Mods to do better times. :-)

It's been winter a while and now I'm remembering what sunburn is

by **essbeecee** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 8:51 pm

Once again, thanks for organising!!

My excuse for the day is a wobbly wheel/steering vibrations of some sort not sure whether it was a balancing problem or alignment problem but Ed swapped my wheels after getting back to Sydney and it's all good.. Probably just have just used the stockies in the end and gone quicker lol. Looking forward to the pics and vids!!
