well they better wait until fnf3 is finished ;)

for some reason a mustang with and rb26 drift racing a turbo z down a mountain seems more realistic than a ford vs holden commodore race in the middle of a desert half a world away...

yeah i agree I like this guy. I like the factual tone "eg Winterbottom turned tander aroudn yesterday". crompton would either not mention it or take the edge off it not to offend anyone. the new guy is refreshingly straight up.

I'm sure he'll be gone once we are back in aus though.

BTW just saw a shot of the grandstand. didn't see a single person in it. maybe they are all drinking beer on the hill instead?

yep, bad weekend for HRT. can't get much worse when one team mate takes out the other, and they were already down to about 14th to begin with! :ninja: poor skaifey not exactly having a dream run to the end of his career. I wouldn't mind seeing skaife get a dig as a commentator.

and I really liked the pommy bloke they had alongside cromley. where has he been hiding the last 10 months of this year? he was great, finally a very proffesional commentator who called it like it was.

the racing was pretty good too. turns 1-4 made from some great moves and counter moves.

as usual there were more people racing and working on the cars than there were watching in the stands, but it was a good race none the less. cockrant really is a tool though isn't he. flogging his bloody V8 book. fk off buddy.

Did anyone see larry's blow up?

Not sure what had happened to cause it, cause i happened to change just as the interview in the pits started, but he was absolutely going off at the "morons" from CAMS who were the officials.

I think it was something to do with the saftey car.

In race one the safety car got scrambled - just not infront of the race leader as is preferred & usual. Toddler overtook the safety car & got a drive through because of it.

You need a micrometer to measure Larry's fuse when it comes to CAMS & so he gave them a spray.

He was going off at the officials because of the way they 'scrambled' the safety car even though his own driver overtook the safety car whilst it's lights were on without being called through (and came very close to side-swiping it) so I see no problems with Todd Kelly getting his drive-thru actually I believe Lowndes should have got a drive-thru also.

well bit of a tough call when they are already at 100% braking into that corner, then they chuck a safety car out in front of them.

plus if the first 2 cars have been let through and I was third I would be very tempted to follow them too. as it merges out of the pit lane when do you decide its in front of you vs still joining the track

I agree with what you say, it was all abit crazy but seriously how difficult is it to deploy a safety car and get it right. It's not as if the whole safety car concept was created a month ago it's been happening since day dot.

Just noticed the ticket prices for general admission at Oran Park, Saturday = $54 and Sunday = $64.

And they wonder why spectator numbers are down compared to years ago...

But compared to what? Costs that to go to the cricket for a day. Most concerts are more expensive etc etc.

i reckon that's pretty fair. F1 GA is dobule that and literally 10 times that if you want a stand ticket.

given the level of event i tink the price is pretty appropriate.

    • 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.
