A big thanks to every one for a great event! THANKS

Lots of problems with my car stalling at high RPM, and i need further mods to my seat and floor pan to fit in with a helmet!

Stoked with last place honours! .................. not really!!

A big thanks also to mi mate Russell the love muscle for bringing along that bastard monkey bike, apparently it's quite the in thing to lubricate handle bars in manufacture to fit the hand grips! However when attempting to ride the stoopid thing the hand grip came off and so did a great deal of skin and flesh............... :D

Any hoo skin and flesh will have grown back for the next DECA, and my dodgy ECU should let me drive the car hard given some TLC.

:dry:

tee hee hee :D

every time I see this pic, I have the Beachboys' Wipeout song playing in my head. Next time I'll be checking my tyre pressures before I go out on the track. Luckily the tyre only came off the seal, not totally off the rim, so all we had to do was pump it back up so it sat properly again.

Lack of tyre on rim = round and round into the embankment. No damage sustained. Thank god... esp as at that stage I'd only owned that car for 12 hours.

RSM top scores from the day's events. 142km/h max speed, most likely on the back track area.

Lateral G's front and rear and left and right over 1.0g's. Rev limit was at 7 grand, so someone bounced it past to 7700rpm.

have you tried Windows Movie Maker, its pretty simple and easy to use

Some more mini-cars.

The supra looks cool as! You need to show these to the organisers of that aussie mini cars series that supports the v8 supercars, mini supras and gtrs tearing up the track would look great, altho they might get banned again :)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
