LOL, hopefully Lee and Matt get a good run in and we can all try and pump out some PBs or at least respectable times

If anybody needs some semi slicks then let me know by Monday. I have some credit that i wont be able to use all of. So can use the balance of the credit to redeem some cash from whoever needs tyres

well my car is running sweet but ive only done 150 ks on it so far wednesday im doing the first oil change

do you guys reckon its advisable to be racing it only after like 2000 kms???

or should i sit it out and wait again :D till the next one??

what do you's rekon id dont wanna screw it like last time lol...

if its built and tuned right you should have no problem.

have you changed anything in the brakes or suspension since PI?

no i havent done anything with the brakes yet but is most likely my next mod when i get some cash again

i wont run it too hard anyway

its just about gettin out there and driving the way that you aint alowed to on the street

...oh and no GTRs :( Will have to see if the GTSt / rwd boys can take over and keep the WRX crowd honest at the tops of the time tables :)

I'm in. Car is ready after a bit of unscheduled maintenance and a visit to the EPA.

hey with the whole epa thing is there any way of tuning your car down to pass the requirements even with a few mods??

Weld a baffle into an old Cat so that only half the exhaust gas can pass.

But if you have aftermarket ECU then EPA wont pass (if they find it), so de-tuning via ECU is probably not the answer.

I like the way you think...

do you know anyone who's tried that??

im gettin worried about cops i was at the petrol station just filling up and this cop gave me the biggest dirty look like i was a criminal or something as i walked to my car and started her up. (he probably wished he had one)

he stared at me for ages.. too bad his partner was inside the p/station and he couldnt pull me up as i drove off.. (Slowly)

anyway back too the subject i think ill come along but ill sit this one out.. probably wont have my final tune ready till late next week.. :)

LOL - I just looked at the entry list and there is 7 GTR's on there. So I don't know what you're talking about. Not that it matters as they'll all be trailing after the WRX of Clayton.

But are you entering Brisby?

Oh - and does anyone know if the pads from the Alcon 6 pots are the same size as the pads from the AP 6 pots?

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
