Just got back from presentation a little while ago.

After cutting short the 3 round qualifying rounds, BK & I were fast tracked to a final based on points.

BK came first and I was runner up in Super Street/Sedan out of 14 entrants(mostly heavily modified V8s). We both received trophys & certificates.

Not bad seeing as we were the only guys in our class who drove to & from the event and werent running slicks.

I didnt get any better times today, either missing gear changes or hitting the rev limiter.

BK got slightly better 1/4 times & mph after changing back to standard rims.

Yesterday was much better as we got more practice and it wasnt as humid.

Fabio & Pinky were in the pits and I saw several guys on the hill supporting us.

Was a good day except some yobbos in the crowd calling out 'take your 4 cyl home(WTF)' 'Jap Crap' etc, but most people were supportive.

Where were all the other imports? If any of you guys entered street class you would have had a good chance to win.

Most of the cars were running very slow, with some of the BIG V8s only running 15-16 second 1/4s.

Street class was taken out by a very tidy Mitsubishi Triton with a SR20 Turbo from Darwin. Runner up was a Falcon.

I didnt get too many photos, so I will be looking foward to seeing everyones pics & vids.

good news ozzy. i wish i had my car running. i would of been racing for sure. i dont think jap cars are liked very much in alice springs. hopefully i can get my car running and setup enough for a meeting soon.

when is the next meet?

Ok, now im regreting being a tight ass. Wish i pay'd the money and joined you guys on the strip :) I didnt think i'd stand a chance against them guys even with awd..

Im sure my lil 4 cyl awd would have put some v8's to sleep but just didnt think it would do it.

Good stuff with the trophys and certs and putting up with the heat on the track lol.

Hey ozzy, what was your consistant 1/4 time? well average time? Some or your launches were sweet as so just seeing.

Well as Cammo said, whens the next meet? I'll have my stuff here then i can race along side you and BK and who ever of us boy's decide to join up :( And if i can part with my money haha.

Catch ya

yea i dont think ill get in the 12 being rear wheel drive and on street tyers ill be happy if i can blow banny away in that falcon i think ill get low 13 to mids 13 well ozzy and bk r gettin 12 1 on a good run and they got twice the power then us so it be hard to get 12

Yeah man. They gettin' some silly times. But im with you on that banny thing. You better smoke his car.. From his mouth " Yeah, my falcon is so quick, does 11's "

Im going to have no hope keeping up with BK or Ozzy, but i'll try. Didnt do bad at all the other weekend against ozzy.

CADRA site says next meet is on 20th April.

I would think it might be less formal with less people from interstate and maybe no ANDRA officals.

My average times ranged from 12.2 -12.9 all weekend, while BK was very consistent around the low 12's with a best of 12.1.

The street class was that under represented by imports, I might have to bring my Datto out next time to make up numbers.

I have seen Datto's with similar mods to mine do high 14's.

In drag racing the most consistent win races, not necessarily the fastest.

The boy's over on Rexnet rekon im between 12.5 and 12.9. If i get even into the 13sec make im other doing something really wrong or the heat where we are is too much.

But i guess thats whats the strip is for. To find out what you can run eh.

Everyone should have a run :) Get the jap imports out there.

Hey ozzy,

Since the next meet is April 20th. Could you do us all a favor. Since you've been in it now and pay'd for it. Could you place the prices down for us boys. We're all hearing diffrent prices and you've been in it.

So price for Superstreet class?

Price for Street class?

And do we have to get a ANDRA licence?

Like wise for the CADRA Licence?

Ah.. How much does it then cost for each meeting?

What do you need to race?

Whats the go with the $25 membership?

Anything else i've missed please put it in. Sorry about the Questions but it be good to hear it from you since you've competed.

Cheers Ozzy.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
