lol yeah I didnt take much pics until the arvo and even then i only shot a couple..convince sarah(my gf sarah who came with me) to take more she was watching both events and had my camera the whole time :O

Also a big thanks goes to Doughboy for being the only guy who waited for me at the end of the night, while I was "preoccupied" :) at that reputable establishment we frequented at the end of the evening.

Scottsman, I do apologise for keeping you out so late, hopefully you didn't get into too much trouble from the boss.

Ray, You're a big girl! (here I thought we were drinking buddies)

Bec, thanks for shouting for some of our late night entertaiment, even if it was of poor quality.

Yep Doughboy and Bris certainly know how to entertain a crowd, but I really wish you could both put a leash on your wallets. But a big thanks thou.

I wanted to wait for ya, but KFC was calling.

But bottom line is I didn't get in trouble...

Ray came out?

Oh yeah he got mav with the hot sauce. Mav being the vetran hot sauce victim should have guessed.

P.S Next DECA will have personal fire extinguishers in the supp regs.

We have had a few close incidents @ DECA in the past and I think it will save someone's car one day and possibly someones life.

So get moving now. SAU will organise a group buy for some before then. Alternativly, K-Mart sell extinguishers for $30 with a metal bracket. It's worth it.

I just went up and bought one.. lol.. I dunno how I passed l2s events.. $19.95 Supercheap Auto

Don't the $20 super cheap ones only come with a plastic bracket?

Which we will actually allow to pass @ DECA, but it wont pass at a CAMS event.

Anyway preferance is that you buy one with a metal bracket.

Now I need to get that cage to bolt it to...

Where else would you recommend bolting it?

I used to have one on my escort just in front of the drivers seat, just out of the way. Crappy old thrasher so I just tec-screwed it down.

It has a metal bracket... And it has the CAMS approved stamp on it MR!

Butt face! >_<

    • 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.
