Weekdays are great for L2S practice days at EC.

I've been to 2 or 3, and there have been around a dozen cars at most. And the guys who did it were reasonable drivers in reasonable cars (myself excepted).

But there were a lot more race cars out there, as well as bikes, so you didn't get as much track time.

I'll be out at EC this Saturday for L2S practice since I can't make Friday (and some friends are going). If I get there and there are too many fooli sik cars I'll just go home, but otherwise it'll be nice to get some driving happening.

hmmmm... be watching this space... been wanting to get my car on the track for a while now... is an oil cooler essential? i dont wanna cok my fresh engine

Not essential, but worth while. I have been getting around it for 2/3 years by taking it easy for a few laps after flogging it for a few.

Looks like there is definatly some interest, and we discussed some options at our Committee meeting last weekend, looks like something will go ahead soonish.

Watch this space!

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
