Liz - I wasn't holding back, I had a dud entry to the straight, and the car had been miss firing all day (lambda sensor died, couldn't tune it), so I was never gonna catch you, but you were quick through the kink, I just didn;t expect you to slow down so much for turn 1 - I didn't want to hit you, and I was aiming at turn one at the fastest possible speed - to avoid a massive lock up, and or a massive accident, I aimed for the greenery - which turned kitty litter brown very quickly... and I couldn't drive it through it, it was soo soft by then

Dunc - I killed it, but we think turbo seal - We won't touch it til later in the week, we need a break from working on it, dad spent all last week getting it ready for sunday

Cheers

Matt

PS - Any pics of my car on the track??

Great day, heaps of track time, wet and dry conditions and nice cold temps for the tubos.

My only problem with the cold temps was that by the time my tyres were up to temp my brakes were overheating, (dam standard brakes!)

Thanks to the organisers, well done.

you drive your car well...get good pads on board.

It was an awesome day - A huge thank you to the organisers/volunteers.

I have an interesting helmet cam shot of someone getting a bit loose in front. I'll find an editing program and cut it down small enough for youtube. Then the driver can put their hand up :nyaanyaa: and say who it was hehe.

Thanks again for a great day... I wish I didn't have to leave early.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      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
