guys im very intersted however how does it work with insurance etc incase anythign happens or wateva ?

most insurance companies I know of, do not cover anything that happens on a circuit (drag strip or track, etc)... but if you can drive your car in a straight line though maybe it's not the place for you. it would have to be a very wild launch and gear change to slap the wall.

I might be up for this provided I can get back to Australia in time (in freezing cold Norway at the moment) and then only if I can quickly get the car tuned/looked over as it is running like a pig at the moment.

fingers crossed!

might come if i can scrounge up $40 and a helmet, still gotta pay a $350 fine so not too sure about this one

>< it's a month from now~~ I'm preety sure you can get that amount...

kinda shy going heys, engine's stock...prolly run high 14s? lol

on another note , what are the helmet requirements ? is a basic open face helmet ok ?

Open faced is fine as long as it complies to australian standards. If it does it will have the aus standards sticker on it (red and silver or white sticker with ticks on it).

The scrutineers look for that sticker.

I've dragged some of this up from the last time we went.

Scruitineering will be looking for all the usual stuff...Battery secured, seatbelts in good nick, no leaks, windows not cracked, no religious figureens on the dash or hangin from the mirror...its a secular sport you know!

What you need: $, Half a tank of gas, no extra weight, no loose objects, brakes in good nick, a tyre pressure guage if your going to fiddle with your pressures, long sleeved shirt or jacket, no shorts, enclosed shoes. A rag to wipe of the shoe polish from the window and a will to have fun

Welcome to another night of enjoying your car responsibly and picking up after yourself :laugh:...and bring a drivers license

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
