prob wasnt even a drag race, just a learner driver trying to learn how to drive, a taxi pulled out as they usually do and bang colision at 60 - 80kz full pelt.

You dont need to be racing to smash and die.

Similar thing nearly happened last nite, i go to my cousin when driving home after clubbing, watch it this taxi is gona rip out, and as they do, he came out not looking and lucky i warnd my cousin as he just missed the taxi.

LTHLRB was one of the 3 cars dragging !!! he just missed the taxi which then hit the lancer!!!

it all makes sense now :mellow:

hehe i wouldnt be racing lancers haha.

In all seriousness, taxis shouldnt be allowed on the road, simple reason because they think they own it and when i plow one over with my landcruiser jacked up with a bullbar the media will b like "18 year old p plater hunting down taxis" when really he got in my way.

mmm... ** scratches head in annoyance** taxiz are another pet hate of mine on the road. I always point and laugh :mellow: , when a shitty stock lancer try’s to have a go, and get them to lip read " you got to be Farkn kiddin". Then they power off [ use the term loosely] in a hugh. lol

as u c with the fotos the taxi would have come out without looking and the lancer had no choice but to slam into its left hand front quarter destroying most of the car.

for sure the taxi would have just come out.. its not rare

of course it's the taxi's fault.

He should not have assumed the lancer was going at the speed limit, and therefore he would have enough time to pull out safely... it's his fault the lancer was allegedly doing 110km/h.

I don't think taxi drivers have the best driving craft, but as if the lancer was not contributory. The fact that you so ferverently argue that it's all the taxi's fault shows an immaturity to driving behaviour. Do you condone that it is OK to speed if the driver is 'talented'? Let me guess - It's OK for me to speed because I have excellent driving skills - you have to look out for the real idiots out there - they're the one who pull out and crash into you.

I'd like for once to see high performance owners taking responsibility for actions.

exactly this person has killed a 15 year old passenger in his car (lancer) and an innocent taxi passenger and critically injured others..... taxi fault my ass.

My message to the driver:

Take responsibility for your lack of skill and judgement, you messed up, you killed innocent people sad i know but is no-ones fault but yours.... if you were doing the limit and the taxi pulled out no doubt it would have had another outcome...most likely non fatal.

i pass on all my condolences to the family of all involved including the driver, truly a sad and preventable waste of life.

well said ronin and trent...

Both are at fault yes. But how many taxi's these days do you see just pull out and could easily get t boned... Its one too many

Alot of people i know of who are excellent drivers get in prangs. Either someone tbones them or they tbone someone else.

Condolences to all involved.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
