Had a great day, bar my car being a busted rice rocket... oh well

Big thanks to all who put on the event, and all those who volunteered to officiate, couldn't have run without you!

And last of all a MASSIVE thankyou to all that helped me get my car back to melbourne with my wastegate still attached, albeit with a piece of wire tied to the power steering line... Would have to have been one of the more interesting drives back from shepparton... :laugh:

Thanks again guys, much appreciated.

altho, tis amazing what a 1 litre tub of booze will do to ya :laugh:

i was acting rather stupid .... d'oh

my priceless moment = going into the yahoo bar and getting weird looks from the locals whilst wearing my taco bill hat ... k hats :rofl:

cable ties would of been a better option ...

how many incidents were there at this deca? i know of 3 now :rofl:

No vtec :( Best thing i saw was a r31 pintara with blue neons hanging off the car with cable ties :rofl:

And i've even checked the vicroads website, and VTECYO is taken!!!! :D:laugh:

He was out racking up some serious "lap" time last deca as well! Is he still rolling on the tyte chromies complimented by the blue LED washer jets?

It was actually an R31 skyline, I saw it close up, the blue neons wern't the best part (although full quality obviously).....it was the chrome "TRY ME" stickers on the front 1/4 panels (between the door & wheel arch)... :laugh:

Nothing like a mix of beer, large margeritas, and bourbon to make for an interesting night. Doing the timekeeping thing was good fun during the day, I can recommend getting involved to anyone who's just going up to spectate.

James' intoduction of the new Taco Bills girl as "the one with the massive cans" was priceless.

I wish I'd had a video camera to film Juz trying to get Mario out of Age's butt crack.......

I don' think I will ever forget the carpet in that club though, I didn't think carpet could get that sticky :laugh:

My pics are up, I'll post a few later....

Click here for some pics!

Bisby it was a terrible day nobody had any fun. You didn't really miss anything at all.

NO THAT WASN'T THE CASE.

HAHAH too farken right!

As per every other DECA day it was bloody awesome! Always well organised and run, which is why there is never any hesitation in entering!

Another pair of tyres destroyed, but still no closer to learning how to actually drive...other than going for a ride in Juz's S15 with Adam, so thats how you supposed to do it :rofl:

The usual suspects (Snowy etc) weren't looking so invincible either, which is a real shame because it might just mean that Matt and his pesky "stock" WRX might get a trophy of some kind! James did a top job in the WRX too, I still think he loves the Megaphone more than driving tho :D

Wanted to stick around a bit but farken rosco was in a hurry to get home, thats another story tho hehe.

Oh and the BBQ was much better than previous days, most probably because Ash wasn't there :laugh:

PS: Thanks for the DVD Guy, had a quick flick thru it when I got home. Looking forward to seeing the new footage!

the kfc walkthrough was amusing, i was there when snowy and james were in the queue and james had almost scored a lift home with some old couple it was only till i was yelling at the serving people to "hurry the f$*! up" a few times that they weren't too keen on giving us a lift. james even offered to buy their food just to get home. very amusing. the wait was sooooo worth it, over 30 minutes in the kfc walkthrough, and there was 5 cars in front of me.

they do things fast in shepparton

the maccas this morning was a joke

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
