Right, I'm going to go on a bit of a hater rant here...

The quality of the Subarus there was (almost) complete ****. This also reflected the standard of many of the cars entered, though.

I'm excluding knockoutgiant's BL here, which won best Subaru (deservedly). The mods on his car are subtle and might take a Subaru enthusiast to recognise (like the fact is has Brembos) but well executed and it's a very tidy car.

In so far as I could tell the sum total of all the mods on the rest of them was a little bit of lowering, a big exhaust and some Chinese knock-off rims. There was a damn good reason they almost all had their bonnets closed - nothing worth seeing under them except probably a peeling manifold and a pod filter. I see better modified tidier cars on my walk to work in the morning. There was a BE which was very tidy and also very stock, but I'm not sure they're old/rare enough to be show-worthy for being tidy and standard.

The GC8s were crap. If you're reading this and you own one of them, sorry, but what on earth were they doing in a car show?

There were definitely some cool cars in there and some quality engineering but so many of them were just ****. Chinese knock-off parts left, right and centre, crap panel work, crap paint jobs, incredibly stock cars - sorry RX-8 owners club but if I wanted to see a row of very tidy, very clean but completely standard RX-8's I'd go to a Mazda dealership.

The racing was much more interesting, a few casualties out there though - the quite badass, quite fast Subaru coupe suffered what looked to be a pretty major failure and caught fire, a VR4 looked to have popped the power steering line and tried to catch fire but just sat there simmering instead, and the Hell Evo went very very fast and sounded bloody good but then evidently something significant died on it and it came back in during the final session.

Aaron (A_Tiny_Chipmunk) and Craig (nztintin) both went well and I think took out second in their classes. Aaron was very smooth and my continuously joking about how he was going to either run a bearing or catch fire seemed to only spur him on. nztintin was fast and the car definitely looked and sounded the part.

I also concluded that I will never understand burnout competitions - I felt like I was getting stupider by watching it.

and yeah even Amy said : oh that's just a B4 whys that in here (the Gen3) I did point out the slight enhancements (have only just twigged Paul posted pics on previous page)

Jeez was that all there was subaru wise? Almost should have entered mine! Didnt make it yest, had to drop the wrx off to get work done!

Looks like chipmunk did well, think he even won something..

Thanks for the exclusion Boon ahahaha.

Almost doesn't feel like I actually won anything considering the lack of even decent Subies there. Either way still pretty proud :D

As for that white 3rd gen, that was my fault :P It's a mate of mine I told to enter last minute on the day. It's clean and the very few mods it has are still at least decent. He's only had it for a month or so and the old owner put the rotas on not him (He hates the fact they're rots too). Though he should enter consider his car, even stock is a **** load better than half the cars that were in it last year.

Either way overall it was a pretty good time. Loved the atmosphere the day of the setup with everyone just chilling and polishing their cars.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
