Got a lil bit done today and yesterday. Whilst I saving some cash I have moved on to the chassis. Decided to strip the doors down and give them a diet, thanks to Mr Grinder. Couldn't be bothered paying a shit load of cash at the moment for Carbon Fibre doors, so I'll do the next best thing. Cut the shit out of them and use Lexan Windows, saved a fair bit of weight out of them already just have to cut the impact beam out and a bit more trim and tidy it up. When I finished with them they will probably be a couple a KG's heavier then the R32's Carbon doors.

Also I am gonna contact the guys that make the carbon fibre roof skins and carbon fibre rear hatch and get that ball rolling on that. Get rid of the sunroof its too heavy, and with the roof skin missing will make putting the cage in a hell of a lot easier. May even get a load of Dry Ice once the inside is clean and smash out the sound deadening and get it prepped for raging caging.

Sean, I went into Toyota today, was passed into some dude named Ben. After having a chat to him, I realised that he knew nothing about the car and had very little interest in selling me one.

Kept going in about catching him in the middle of this 3 day sale, and it was so busy. I looked around, was 2 customers in the shop.

Said I was also interested in a FJ, said they had run out of pamphlets, and didn't even take me to see one.

I made it clear I had the funds, wasn't kicking tyres.

Next time I should just ask for you, lol.

This guy was useless

Most supercars don't have massive GT Wings and all them supercars with that design were made in the 80's and 90's back when aerodynamics was make believe like the Yeti, I need air to hit the wing not go under it.

That hatch for the 180 would create to much turbulence for a rear wing. Would create a low pressure point behind the window.

Dont see it being an Aero benefit.

ehhhh cant wait to get home from work. Monday morning can not come quick enough

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
