unfortunately no! I got up there and realised both my vid camera and digi camera had dead batteries lol. I managed to charge my video enough to get a few minutes of footage of my bf out there, and also ev in his 31, but thats all.

Im guessing you were out there?

thats your car in your avatar thingy? The white 32? Might have been your car i was checkin out then.

If it was u lol, i was parked pretty much opposite your shed lol

haha yeh my car is a little dirty probly made it look a bit duller than it really is.

Love ur car, u were doing awesome out on the track. Few of my friends i was with commented bout u out on track, were very impressed. Been out there before? I go to every prac but dont remember ever seeing your car out there.

Well thanks for the compliments, its always good to know I am doing allright, it was an awesome day, the instructors were fantastic,

McKinnen was pushing my limits and the tandems with him were just the highlight of the day, just with those few runs with him,

I learnt more than all the practice days I ve been out there put togheter.

Was hoping to see more fellow SAUers out there but hey

Yes, been out there many times, just keeping a low profile you know, hahaha

BTW, didnt know Mike was taking pictures, I saw him just helping out with the organizers and all, so, pretty happy with the few pics from him.

Cheers

Oi Ric, you were doin sick out there, definitely one of the standouts. You have to start your scando earlier though, you're not scrubbing off enough speed by the time you're getting to turn 1. Tandems at the next prac!

Yeah i was there, specatating. God damn i wish my car was manual, cos i would loved to have been out on track!

Good day watching none the less, was loving seeing so many 32's lol.

i wish they didnt change the attessa drive train from 32 to 33 then i could get the AWD 2WD toggle switch

Brenton: I just plain dont like you... :D

You were doin pretty good for first time out, need to go faster! The faster you go, the easier it is to keep out. Do eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Thanks mate, but yes its true what you say about the entry to turn 1, tried different entries angles, speeds, but somehow I seemed to keep running wide.

I have to start it earlier as you said, I am just afraid Im going to be short and hit the ripple strip at turn one and flip the car :(

Thats why I wanted to get some footage to see what I am doing wrong, anyone? :(

Definatelly tandems next practice day!

Nah, you wont roll on that ripple strip, I've slammed that so many times it's not funny, you just get a bit of air :( If you're heading towards the ripple strip though, just grab the handbrake and you'll be right :(

Have a look for some vids on youtube and see where all the good guys are entering, and then go a bit later than them, that's what I did. Or follow me at the next prac, I'm still not doing huge ones.

    • 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.
