Yep ok - for anyone that's interested we'll meet at the Bunnings on the crn of Sth Gippy and Thompsons Rd Cranbourne for a 7:00am departure (damn that seems early!)

That should get us there just after 8:00am.

Because it ate all the dope i was going to sell Wed night to fund the weekend. So no dope means no money, and a high cat isnt really worth much to anyone. Thats whey im going to blend it up and try to make hash cookies out of it

Just send the cat this way... I'm hungry

Crying Wolf? Im just crying :(

My kind boss just paid for my tyres...such a champion bloke... i need to know where a good model store is so come pay day i can buy him a cool di-cast model. Will be interesting to see how the Kumho semi slick goes. With so little power i will be relying on the tyres to get me in under the 2 min mark. I lost 3rd gear on the dyno as well so lets hope the gap between 2nd and 4th isnt too big :dry:

There is a model store on Swanston St, James called me from there a few months back as he had seen a model Evo.

That cat eating the dope is funny! If you need a hand, let us know mate (blender also at our place :dry: )

That's where I got my stuff from.

don't forget the one about the beer baron taking your only set of car keys so now you have to hot wire the car to make it run, and constantly hold two wires together between the toes on your left foot.

BTW - Jack/Aaron - where's Kennedy? Surely he wants to come show us these 43's he reckons he's running?

Not sure he's gonna make it, he needed to sort out his rear brakes, its touch and go whether he'll make it, I'd like to see the 1:43's aswell!!!

I should be good for the meeting point aswell...

Let's just hope the weather will hold out, not looking promising at this stage.... :(

I'm out,

Currently In Sydney, not back till friday.

Needed to do a couple of things to my car because the gearbox is not happy. No time.... I was going to take it to Rays before I came up to Sydney but things went crazy. :(

Next Year!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
