Fark my car was miss firing badly yesterday gave it abit of punch on 3rd gear. Got the sparks regapped with Hitman earlier in the month but now same problem came back :laugh: Was keen on joining for this but now cant be sure the car is up to the task . .

Ye factory coils with new platinum sparks gapped to .8 Probably get them down further to .6 might help? Also so might need to check if the coils are cracked. Due date is coming closer and I hardly get time off work to bring my car get fixed :P Will see if I can just pay first then take it to Hitman for another look.

I was over at 'Gordon Levin Tyres' yesterday (Emu Plains - discount for SAU members) and he mentioned that their are 2 big race meetings on this weekend (EC + Wakefield) and said that early next week he will have plenty of Semi + full slick 2nd hand tyres for sale.

(He also mentioned that he offers a free tour of his workshop after business hours for car clubs going through all the technical things like tyres, alignments, camber etc etc for free - might be a good idea sometime in the future).

That would be GREAT!

Very very very keen to learn about camber adjustments

Well done Ben!

Yay I just transferred the money. Umm my car is completely stock and I have only been driving manual for a few months so I'm probably going to embarrass myself and get the slowest time ever. No one is allowed to laugh at me or I'll cry lol.

Time for me to learn more about cars and driving on the track :P

BWA,

Most people own performance cars, and never really understand why they bought them. You are about to find out! I look forward to seeing the ear to ear grin you will be wearing.

Well I decided before I got my car I would go in all different events like track days but just didn't know when. But I figure I may as well sooner rather than later, that way I will be really fast by the time I turn 21.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
