Looks like a nice pick up. Glad to see even though you went to the darkside, you picked the right car :P

Yeah, it's always annoyed me that Toyota don't make an affordable small-midsized RWD car.

The last small car was the AE86 and we all know the stigma attached to those cars, plus for a basic mid 80's car they are sickeningly over priced. After that the next step is an IS200 which isn't cheap and the aussie ones have junk engines. Toyota also don't do any RWD 4cyl turbo engines either so you have to convert stuff to get what you want. Bloody bean counters....

It's a shame really, as I think Toyota would have done a good job at it, but they let that segment of the market go.

Oh well, I'm glad that Nissan didn't! I think I'll always have a hankering for an AE86 though...

Yes, it has a mildly worked Clevo in it, the whole drive train (except diff) come out of our old XD Ute we used to race.

It hasn't been out of 'the box' for too long, so there is still some fine tuing to do, but it is doing 1:45's at Winton.

Still pretty much a basic Falcon underneath, just beefed up suspension - thanks to my good friends at Pedders in Bendigo, brakes are slotted rotors (standard size and standard callipers), with Bendix Ultimate pads.

One of my favourite pictures. The guys at RPM Photography were in the right spot with the finger on the button for this one lol. Kudos to them for this, as it's by far the shot of the year at QR for me.

great shot! but coming second whats going on! ?? haha

:P Smarty... I had wastegate problems so I missed race 1 and had to start from the back in race 2.

I could ask why it is that you only just managed to get under 60sec on the Clubman yesterday at QR too :O

i have a plethora of excuses !! which one would you like to hear! lol

i thought youd like that!:no:

Well, I think maybe it's age catching up?

Semi-slick 285 hoosiers leave nice lines hey lol

is that r33racer in front?

It's his father driving it actually. Michael didn't drive it much last year.

Thats an interesting shot, where was it taken?

It was at the old Morwell Hillclimb circuit here in Vic. It's closed down now, but was a lot of fun. It's just a pity you couldn't get any heat into the tyres before a run.

    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
