So you don't remember the nice old guy that log booked your car at wakie,,,he's be a srcut for donkeys years and a man that you should get on a 1st name bases with.

Neil.

That would be Lance, he's a really lovely man... just dunno where Cary Butchers came into it, I thought you thought that it was Lance.

oki doki,,,I might have the name wrong,,,but he was a grey haired old man,,,.

Neil.

hey Neil, why don't you run in this one... www.irace.net.au - I am

Please don't watch it on telly, I know I'll stuff up LOL

Very off topic here sweety,,start a new one in Motorsport.

Another mod thinks we are open-wheeler love children.

Neil.

Wahhh???? *is confused* haha we are checking for damaged helmets. aka cracks & stuff.

lol like the front visor thingy, do you needed it?

No, i dont - they look shite anyway IMO

ahm mm

im confused...

Albert, as long as ADR approved and in good condition its ok :P

yeah yeah it is, there one sticker on the visor and one on the back of the helmet,

coz i full cbf put the visor down, sweaty n fog n shit :P

anyone taking a tyre guage - one thing i dont got lol :(

Chris I have a spare il bring for you....

Its not mechanical, kinchrome digital... we compared it to the mechanical one of Daves and its actually pretty accurate!! ... or you can wait in turn to use the good one! it glows in the dark... hence why I like it.... :P

p.s Corinne... BBC??? suciton cap.... therefore safely mounted yes??? :P

Albert,,,it's all cool mate,,,I'm thinking you are talking about the visor ,in a car with windows and a roof it doesn't matter.

You can do the hell what ever you like with the visor.Use it,,,don't use it whatever.

Help is only a question away and please ask.

Neil

Operation track bish completed at 10.30pm.... :P Massive thanks to Dave :P

Smoky, big thanks for the use of the rims for the slicks.... the design of them means they only JUST clears the caliper!!!

Cars packed, bags are packed, tools are packed.... think we are ready!!!

cool. so do we have to have "hans" devices?

and do we all have to have our sump plug and gearbox plugs lock wired?

what about the fire extingisher? its usaly just tek screwed in, is this ok?

and since our cars are all rated to over 2.5litres (turbo multiplier) do we have to have 3 litre catch cans?

also do we have to remove all window tint?

will we be black flagged for not running valve caps on our tyres?

do we have to drain our coolant and refil with a non glycol based inhibiter?

do we need window nets?

and if we have a harness does it have to be in date?

are secondary bonnet locks needed?

what about anti shatter adhesive covers to glass light lenses?

do we need a cams approved tail shaft loop?

lets be seriouse here lol.

things like floor mats, spare tyre( held in with bolts, and passed adr crash tests..) fine. no major oil leaks and nothing baulky loose in the cabin. thats about it. just common sence.

suction cuped electronics are allowed. your waring a helmet so what can it do to you......lets not be assholes like a phillip island..

its not a full on cams target scrutineering sesson peeps.

its turn up, get all the loose shit out of the car, on with your helmet and away you go. if we are going to be full on captain cams, (confederation against motor sport) then all the items i listed above need to be implemented, and some. or its just a half assed crock.. lol :P

lets just be realistic here.. cheeres :P

Wakefield are now even selling in car cameras... have a look when you sign up, they're on the shelf next to the helmets. My suction one is also rated to 150mph and has passed CAMS scrutineering in the past, but its up to the Chief Steward to make the final decision either way, so can change accordingly at their discretion.

Cool I havent seen there cameras,I will check them out cause looking for one to go in my car :(

lol like the front visor thingy, do you needed it?

ahm mm

I took my visor off Albert found it got in the way at times. Like the others said you dont need it down in the car..I put it back on the helmet when I go karting :P

I do find sunglasses help loads when the sun comes out on the track, can get a bit glary...but it's all personal preference..

Is there going to be shirts for this track day?? Like last time?

oh thanks Neil :P

again lol

yeah thats what i meant..

mm

omg

the rims i bought wont clear my calipers :P

The rims wont clear at all or just rubs? Are you using spacers?

maybe the wheel weights are hitting the calipar..

hahaha... yes!! Smoky's rims I borrowed had that issue.... yep.. all fits, *spins wheels* and bang... the weights caught on the caliper!!

Definitely check that out Albert... if you need spacers, I have a spare set of 15mm ones somewhere... il bring em to the track...

hi everyone! anyone else not receive their cams license from texi yet?? i tried ringing them too but number on their website goes unanswered.. or is it because they aren't in yet?

Also my brake pedal went to the floor last night, i hope i have enough time/talent to bleed them tonight or theres no wakie for me :(

    • 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.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
