The Sports Car Builders Club

Hi Folks,

Bloody cold evening for our meeting Thursday last . Quite a small group of 28 members and visitors.  With a long weekend approaching there were a number of people who had all ready departed for the break.  The highlight of the evening was John Howard s great new Clubbie in bright red , John reports no hassle with either the engineer or the powers that in getting it through licence .

John created all his body parts from scratch so there is no other car like his!  An absolute credit to him.

Greg Obrien reports that there is a 4.4 crown wheel and pinion available to suit an escort diff , second hand but in good condition $200.00 if any one is interested drop me an e/mail.

CYA

Regards Charlie

Hi Guys,

34 members and visitors attended the meeting Thursday last and a good night was had by all…

Thanks to Bruce Varcoe {who could not attend unfortunately} we received the latest blurb on exhaust emissions and at last good news!

It appears we now only have to comply with ADR 37/01………..Attached (ApplicationToBuildAnICV) is the ruling and note it is dated March 2010 .

So if you are using an engine which came into Australia from 1999 onwards and you use the same 02 sensor / cat/ computer / you will comply.

IT MAY BE  that if you can demonstrate that an earlier engine complys you could also get that through.  Bear in mind ADR 37/01 has changed slightley since 1997.

At any rate this now takes the bogey man of our shoulders and made compliance easier and possible .

Some one at the meeting needed some bits, I cant remember who!  Anyway email me a list and I will circulate, if you need something or have bits to sell email me and I will circulate also.

All for now,

Charlie.

Hi Guys,

32 members and visitors attended the club meeting last Thursday [ bloody freezing night ] Chris Mitchell brought along his formula ford race car which was of great interest to members , the two most common comments were geez its low !! and geez i would never fit into that !!

There is still a lot of discussion ref the IM 240 emission law implementation and this not just in WA . There are various rumours about how each state will handle it and now there are industry groups who suddenly realise it is going to effect them and are up in arms …..as they say watch this space.

The next monthley meeting will also be our AGM so if you would like to put your hand up to take up a club position please feel free !!! Also yearly membership subs are up for renewal and it was agreed at the september meeting that subs will stay at $25.00 per year. A week or so before the next meeting i will attach a renewal form to the reminder email .
