Just a heads up because I know it's been a while since Round 1 already.

We've had a big gap, due to me moving house, F1GP weeked, Easter, my committments to a Fishing Tournament, and our host at Narre Warren Autobarn also being on holidays.

The next workable date we've found is April 20th Sunday.

Consider this date locked in unless I've missed anything crucial that could be on that date?

OK .... lock it in Eddie

Now to prepare the car .... might give it a vacuum

lock it in from me too..

*looks at list of things to do*
- retune
- detail
- few tricks
- so almost nothing.. yay..

thats like a whole 5 weeks away i havent been able to try out my new splits in comp conditions yet
oh well maybe ill have my new sub by then

edit: wot about have a ballarat comp on the 12th start at 1 finish at 8 all go to our engagement party get blind attempt to make a drunken speech sleep all day sunday sounda like a plan...

Sounds like a plan

dammm it addickt.

I wanna come to your weeding

stoopid cambra.

...that i'm working every weekend until end of June. that my car isn't anywhere near finished. and that you don't pay me enough! oh hang on, you don't pay me at all.

have a good one.

He doesn't pay anyone Shiny - don't feel down about it

He doesn't pay anyone bald either

sounds like a fantastic plan brian!!

awesome idea brian!

its ok dude not gettin married for like 2-3 years u might be back

w00t i was worried this was gonna clash with the 20 other things that i have on the first w/e in april coz i'd heard thats when it was lol

but BOOYAH to the date!

the pulsar will be there again, dunno if ill compete (yes i know ... soft ...) but it will have new stuff to show off that weekend :D:D:D

cant wait !!!

Mini

I'm there (already had plans for the 2 weeks prior, this is a good date.

must get to doing something with the car though...

and i need to get out to mine with a tape measure and tools to make my adjustments..
when mini stops making me work on his car..

im confused r we gonna have a test and tune or not???

i too want to have a test and tune, so i can play around with my car, check out other peoples rides too

i had heard a rumor on the grapevine that there was a possibility on the 29th or 30th of march...

but i dont know where that has gone ?

I'll be there for Krispy Kreme

Will there SPL again this year?

Unfortunately it appears there won't be SPL as dB Drag already have an event in Bendigo on the 29th (day before),

so have a ballarat event on the 12th

Bumpskies.

There will also be FREE dB Testing (Termlab) on the day.

so this date is confirmed??


exact comp location & starting time, etc?

and perhaps the calendar should be updated

I should be in, Ill bring down the Calais and the 555 and might try my hand in the SQ department. First time competing, any hints

make sure things are in-phase, correct left/right separation and subbass isnt too loud (common mistake by first-timers in sq)
other than that, just have fun and talk to everyone...see if u can listen to a few cars (ask others if u dont know which ones to listen to)

make sure you have a listen to Alan Sierra's Holden. Or ford. Or whatever it is. the red thing. quite nice it is, too

also make sure you have a listen and a chat to Cory Zion, cause he's a dude and he has a crazy (as in chaotic, whacked out crazy) install in his crazy van.


Try to stay away from Spyne, as he'll probably bore you to death and make you want to give up car audio for ever.

Apart from that, just grab a copy of the rules (especially the safety ones) and make sure you either adhere or exceed the specs.

If you havent done so already, get a copy of the judging disc. Go through each track and make sure that what the guy is talking about, your system pretty much shows off. As Spyne said, make sure the subbass blends with the midbass and the rest of the music. If you can locate the position of the sub, its too loud. Keep turning it down just a fraction until the sound is just on the cusp of being able to hear it and feel it.

Move the driver's seat as far back and as low as it will go.

Also, dont make too many last minute changes, just to try and "get it right". At nationals last year (my first and only comp) I got someone who I thought knew what they were doing to do some last minute "tuning". He totally ruined what little staging and imaging I had, the doofus (actually I think he was jealous of my car, and wanted to see me lose ). Go with what you know. And give that stinky car a vaccum already!

Good luck

Matt

Thanks for the tip matt! will do. Are you going to attend this event? I dont know many people aside from the Phatt boys (they installed the gear) so i guess ill just have to do a meet and greet. If you spot a blue VX Calais (not the ADZ.1) come over and say hi, my names Adam.

and ADZ.1 will be in attendance too!!

Whats the start time?

this may need a new thread...

jsut wondering if there is any interest in doing a cruise to Narre from the eastern suburbs like mitcham ftg boronia and surrounds, if anyone is interested, put up some suggestions, coz it always fun to drive in convoy

I'll be coming from Boronia
can do a cruise

need to know a start time before i can do anything...

i have a work function the day before, and need prep time (thats a whole day thing).. and i'll be coming from either Thomastown or Boronia..


why dont you organise something mini...

Oh how i love that car! Im want mine to be like it! damn turbo v8, makes me want to cream my jocks!

damo, this is what im attempting to organise,

but i havent been able to get onto marc to establish a starting time. afaik its at Narre, but i dont know what time rego is for u SQ guys, as soon as i find this out, ill be happy to organise a cruise down.

im thinking that baysie is a decent enough place to gather the troops, coz its close to most people

so we'll run with that.

assume that its at bayswater maccas / anaconda ( Cnr Canterbury and Bayswater Rd ) departure time yet to be announced.

This event will start at 10:00 AM, Marc must love early mornings

is that rego time ? or is that when judging and general shens will begin ?

Registration 10:00AM, judging will start shortly after (10:30AM ish).

so we meet in Baysie around 9 for the cruise down?

I'll be there, 100%!
I won't be competing as the day before i hand the wrx keys over to the new owner. The GTS has been pulled off the road, being stripped, ready for restoration and Jeep has no audio gear in it any more.

I'll help show judging again if needed.. blanky?

yeah, sounds good to me, meet up at baysie for anyone interested, id say we'll be leaving around 9.15ish to make sure we all get down there with time to spare, so that ppl for rego's arent late.

ill be at baysie from 8.30 if anyone else feels like being there that early then your more than welcome. this is an open invite to all to come and have a fun cruise down to Narre Warren. also, if have CB radios bring them, as they can help us stay in a group on the cruise down.

Please see new thread.
