I had a fun day yesterday, wasn't quite what I expected due to the lack of traction.

The last two sessions were heaps of fun.

Thanks to the people that answered my questions and helped me out during the day. Made it real easy for a first timer.

Let's just say Matt is very lucky his car didn't end up like that rex, I was directly behind him when it happened, spewing I wasn't recording with my incar vid, forgot to press record at the start of the session..

It definetly wouldn't be fun reversing at 130km/h....

TB - I stopped running as the lights they set up at the end of turn 1 made it very hard to see where you were going. Mix that with not knowing the short track - and I was ready to take the car home in one piece.

Snows had boost issues, but lots of others had just had enough.

Shit weather!

Even the STIG spun out :), i was standing near the Flaggies at the first coner(small track) saw the speed that you carried into it, i was like oh no, i hoped your tires are warm up.

I wish it was warm weather, see more flames, more red hot rotors......:P.

Yeah, it was a bit hard to judge that corner, never done the short track before so it was too late to do anything about it... That corner gets sharper through the middle....

I have some incar footage, will have to get Andrew (BBGTR) to host it up again for me, it shows how bad the conditions were... ATTESSA??? Nope, my car was like it was a RWD... Fun sliding though.. :)

No worries Jack.

I'll have to organise a pick up as I'm not planning to be at Ben's for a while unless something breaks or he finds that suspension in Japan that I'm waiting on :P

No worries, I'll get it on disk and pop it in your mail box next time I'm down your way... By the way, where were you yesterday???

It's a pity Beaumont left early, would have been interesting how the the EVO would have gone on the short track...

Snowy, you worked out what the problem was???

I personally delivered my baby daughter, Bridget, on Friday morning!!! Now that is a day I will never forget! :)

    • 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. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
