Something i did find interesting on the day (that wasnt on the skidpan) was that in the afternoon when i was taking pics from the other end closer to the race track their was a race/praction session of guy riding motorbikes doubling a person on the back.

I've never seen this before and found it quite suprising that they were still able to corner soooo quickly.

just found out

sounds like everyone had a great time except for one tool "the guy in the wrx with the flat tires" that wrote the whole day off on another forum and gave arron a very bad rap..... which is complete crap cause the day was run 100% to the way i wanted it o be

he had alot to say about the day and i wold like to say that what he said was completely wrong and the day was run exactly how we intended it to be and i would have no hestitation in going back to arron macgil for a skidpan day.

mmm, thats a shame, I didn't hear a complaint from anyone else? perhaps hyundai drivers have a special point of view.

Oh, you mean that Ben trouble maker! Dark blue wrx, right?

The ONLY bad thing about the day was that I didn't have a car to drive. But my spot went to a bloke that really enjoyed himself (Lucky bastard!).

Well done pete... I'll be driving at the next one. (fingers crossed)

Tex , the Buick is a boat so it will be right at home on the Skid Pan :)

Yeah thanks for the slot Dan :)

Has anyone else tried to clean their car? I can't get rid of the smear marks. Tried cleaning the windscreen 5 or 6 times. Looks like a polish will be required. Must be a combination of emulsified rubber, oil and dirt...:P

Erm, on second thoughts, if this is the case the Buick will be staying off the 'pan, methinks! :eek:

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
