Before anyone starts any shit.....i didnt swallow that shot, it tasted like crap and spat it out :whistling:

As one of the 3 individuals having a shot at that time, I can confirm the above. After taking the shot into his mouth, as well as the lemon, he swished it around in his mouth (like tasting wine), and made several interesting facial expressions before the liquid came out of his mouth. Obviously it did not suit his taste buds.

When the waitress came over as said "you again - I'm not cleaning up your puke this time", I'm sure she must have misunderstood the situation. I suspect she was terminated the next day for serving sub-par tequila.

On a more serious note - the trip was an absolute blast. The Vic guys put on a fantastic event and were great hosts. Thanks for the good times and driving tips (I have a new appreciation for 1st gear now). Saw lots of cool stuff like a Submarine and met Forrest Gump. I'll definately be back and expect to up my game considerably.

Steve-o, thanks for the work you and the crew did to put this together.

Fantastic trip and we are up for it again. I believe we will have some more cars this time and looks like since we had less cars then the vics I believe that NSW did WIN the event .....But that is what I think..

But apart from the winning and stuff thanks Vic's it was fantastic and had a wonderful time you lot are champs and cant wait to see you lot again.

Reckon we can start a petition to get Victoria brought closer to Synneh?

That drive goes on forevah :whistling:

I don't think there's anything you can say now to rectify the general view SAUVIC has of NSW's drinking skillz, lol

Just quickly - soooo tired.....

but thanks to the VIC guys for having us down there!

Steveo for getting iot happening

Rest of NSW drivers and supports/pit crewers who went

had fun x 11ty

ok tired, bed time bye!

great trip guys! really enjoyed the drive personally, me and dad took the scenic route home (macquarie pass, and old pac) so had a good time. The event was great and i would love to see another invasion organised sometime!

thanx to the vic guys for an absolutely awesome event, ran really well and had a great time.

nsw ftw!!!

OMG!!! DECA so Rocks!! :):)

I had the best time :whistling: Was great to catch up with some of the Vic guys and meet some new ones aswell...

Thanks you so much for having us..the Vics were awesome hosts and I always love a good road trip and was definatly worth the effort :happy:

We have actually been discussing coming to the August DECA, so you might see us before you think and hopefully have a few more NSW peeps driving and supporting next time... :P

I had a blast and cant wait to do it all again!! :P:P

Jess :happy:

    • 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.
