Yeah dudes, I'll let you know when I am ready to strip tease. First passes will be without the right rubber so it should be good for a laugh but I cant wait to get some serious boots on and give it a real shot. :)

Keep the tread on topic, all posts not relating to the topic will be deleted as per usuall rules.

SAU does not need a bunch of clowns, there are plenty at the EKKA.

Noel please continue, your thread is clean!!!

Good call Col. What you need to do is start a new thread Listing your mods. You could also throw up pics of your dyno runs showing boost etc.

Then toss in the time slips showing those 10 second 130 mph passes and that will shut the farkers up. :cheers:

No it won't.

So when's the tuning?

And where are you taking her for her first run?

And just an edit on the mod list Noel. The Balancer is a ROSS Tuffbond, The valves are Ferrea and springs are made by PSI

Nah, not into that sorta thing.

More than happy to explain if someone asks me a question as you and Adam have before over a beer.

I guess ive never finished my project hence why ive never published a full list of mods in one place.

I mean I have published when ive done a few bits and pieces here and there but never compiled a full list like you have done on page 1.

As for 10 second passes ive never claimed to run a 10, all ive said is my trap speeds are in 10 second country.

Ive never had a chance to run the quarter on anything other than shitty second hand rubber at street pressure.

If I rolled the guards and put the MT's on I reckon id be a shoe in for an 11 no worries without touching anything else.

But its all about how you do in the first 60 foot that matters, everything from there is just hanging on. :P

I have no doubt you would run an 11 out of the box, in time/practice (you never know the same night as your first run) you migt hit a high 10.

All depends on your tyre/suspension package and if you can hook up or not without loosing too much time.

Well you dont need me to explain, you know it.

Cheers Col

PS. I found one time slip thats got a 121mph pass on it, its the one I used to list my official best run at willowbank in the timeslip thread in events.

I understand that in your modesty you have no desire to go grandstanding mate but the idea is to sell your car up to make it more attractive to a potential buyer.

My apologys for the 10 second call, I thought i read your for sale thread heading it as a 10 second car. I cant find your thread btw, You need to bump it up so buyers can see it.

The other good idea is that willowbank have records of every pass ever made since it opened. Gotta loove the puda era. You can contact them and they can send you a copy of your 130 mph pass. It's another strong selling point.

In the current market sellers need all the help they can get and these are great selling aids so it could well be in your interest to produce them. ;)

Would 130mph blow my grey hair out? :P

i dont think so, but im sure old, fragile bones start decintergrating at around that speed? :thanks:

im also under the impression that falsified teeth start falling out/breaking up at around that speed too :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
