dont get too caught up in the times boys. it's just a fun day out. no points, no trophy, no FTD to shoot for... but know this, unlike saturdays supersprint, passing is allowed where deemd safe (by the passing driver), so if you are coming to this day when you see someone faster coming up behind you, either let them past when safe, or be prepared for them to make a move on you. i was not pleased to be following some more powerfull (but slower) cars around for a whole lap of blue flags only to get to the straight and have them floor it. yes i can back off, but then likely to have more traffic coming up from behind and have this whole thing start again. that was my only real criticism of the day was that a number of people ignored blue flags, and did not seem to ever look in their mirrors. i know it's hard when you first start out on the track as you are trying to take in a lot at once, but this should be the first thing instructors teach you - be aware of other cars on the track.

I can only think of 2 occasions where Ando and i used the flag

.......over the course of the whole day........

Mainly cause theres no point blue flagging at turn 11 if your not allowed to pass on turn 12 :P

AHAHAHA yeah i would lean over to grab the blue flag... but ended up deciding as Steve said that not much point since no overtaking in turn 12. Also meant had to get my arse out of the chair lol :P

I think we waived the Red flag once & blue flag saw some action twice.... rest of the time we were pondering if Fatz was gonna loose it over the top corner of the 'Flip Flop'.... wheels either side of the ripple strip, was amusing to watch!!!

yeah fair call. but i was behind people (wont name and shame) and they were getting blue flags from the pit straight, turn 2, turn 4, turn 5 and cant specifically remeber the other turns. in the end i just made the pass where i could hoping they would be sensible enough not to turn in on me.

r32r, mate i was in the green group thinking it was intermediate... haha that was a wake up in a car lucky to be making 100rwkw with stock brakes (including fluid and pads) well stock everything really even stock boost.

pete, you looked hot, still a shame you were driving a pansys car. no more 31 means you will probably never pick up a chick again.

Yep - getting out of the seats - thats the REAL reason you didnt get a blue flag or meatballed Richo :)

Everytime i thought he was going to get it sideways then hit the sand trap. He was driving it like he had cops behind him. And had just robbed the VB brewery.

no need to run it in, just second hand motor. it's ready for burnouts right now.... !!!!!11111 now!

Yeah true true Richo, just also got to factor in cost of 5 stud conversion + spare set of 5 stud rims + decent 'track tyres' + track day costs. So its another biggish cost just after spending some decent dollars on the old girl.

I will get there eventually, just the wallet has been slapped around like Paul's arse during a driver's briefing........ :(

Now that was funny!!!!

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
