Yep... there is a bloke from the canberra rc drift forums who is in lane cove. He's organising for thurs/fri night (i'm working till 7.30PM those nights).

He mentions that he has "track material". I will try and contact him and the sydney people on those forums and possibly organise to go to lane cove and meet up. Would be good!

beer baron - $250 For the RC

thanks for the offer mate, but i'm not that hard up! just thought i'd put it out there. just the ball race kit and the 2 speed tranny cost more than that lol.

have fun with the rc sliding. i just love doing nice doughies... haha, and big powerslides are pretty good too. it has a nice carbon disk brake on it now too. good for doing a little lock up into turns, then hard on the gas to get all four smoking/sliding... hmm maybe i should dig it out.

Randy - sorry about that mate, I havent been up thatend of asquith for ages.

U didnt go to the bowling club near storey park did u?(the new one?)

Ill hve a look in a few mins - gotta head out that way now!

oh, i used to work at olympic park and quite a number of times we used to see people in P5 racing them - i guess if you inform the security they'll be cool?

dunno!

i bought a nitro car from hobbyco around a month ago..

i got the one with the wrx shell though :(

its got a 15 size nitro engine and its pretty quick.. ive always wanted to see it drift though...

mines a bit dirty, i took it through a dirty road to see it do some sliding.

it went sideways into a gutter and broke the bracket for the exhaust. ive got a cable tie holding it in place till i make another one.

Randy - Sorry to stuff you around dude, the old one I was reffering to at Asquith near Mills Park - has just been demilished. Its all fenced off and theres now a construction site. sorry mate, I should have checked it out before opening my mouth ;)

Chris: No worries man! My lady was the one getting pissed off, not me =-]

Steve: Wicked! Sunday in a week or two sounds like a go.

Security: You can adjust your fuelling, there should be an idle screw, and a mixture screw. I beleive your glow plug should sit around 100-120 degrees celcius... so possibly yours is running quite cold with that extra fuel going through. Same thing as getting the AFR's right on a PFC I guess... once you lean it out a little, you'll get heaps more gogo!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
