A couple more updated cage pics with the central cross, single diagonal (if you can spot it!) and the double side intrusions which I'm VERY impressed with. They have done such a great job of working around all the trims etc. It really looks fantastic.

Really only the extra central horizontal is left to go in after that.

Yep - Merridian is doing it.

And Steve you are wrong.

1. The car is MUCH quieter with the rear seats in and they are costing me a whole lot less than what that sound deadening stuff does.

2. We also now have somewhere safe and easy to put our helmets between stages rather than again having to spend money on carry netting etc.

3. The seats only weigh about 3kgs so I'm not losing much in that front either :)

I did that a long time ago after an airbag in an R33 GTR went off for no reason I could understand on a skidpan and basically knocked myself out.

I paniced it may happen on a track to me one day so it's plug was pulled back then (and I have a piece of tape covering the annoying flashing airbag light :) ).

the cage looks good....but the seats have to go. the most important thing about a race car is it has to look like and sound like a race car. who cares if it actually goes faster or not?

anyone have any good ideas for any events coming up in QLD?

having fun at QR, but looking for something a bit different?

Cheers

It's a bit of a drive and still a long way off but this could be some fun :P

I still like to boast that I'm the only current Dutton Rally winner to do so with a full interior and working DVD player and there's no reason to stop taking the mickey out of these people who take themselves too seriously just yet either :P

Plus at the end of the day this car is still street registered, so it's more of a road car I have some fun in than a race car. :D

lol, looks awesome actually.

but Townsville is a bit far out.

Anyone know any similar events in Northern NSW or SEQLD sooner?

cheers

Geez - 70 confrimed entries already for Wrest Point and 200 for Targa Tas. And all the other people I know that are apparently doing Wrest Point aren't aren't even on the list yet.

Well done to all the guys at Octogon.

There's only one proper tarmac rally in QLD, the Suncoast Classic. It wasn't run this year but will be back in 2009. The 2007 event was prety good. I was a Stage Safety Officer so got to drive some of the stages under closed conditions. They had some nice roads.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
