brb- off to Styx Valley Rally.

ok so I know it's not Tarmac, but it should be a bit of fun.

I'm joining Timmy in Tassie this weekend for the first round of the Tasmanian Rally Series.

Jumping into a little Mitubishi Cyborg with Aaron Reader - should be lotsa of fun.

Now can you Tasmanians organise some decent weather for me please?

Congrats Mrs Handley,,,1st in class,,,Nice work indeed. :):wacko::laugh:

Neil.

yep Kell and Aaron did a grate job yesterday just to finish.

interesting to see what keel thought of the whole sit back and wait 2km for another call.

i got my first off road experience yesterday. was a nice gentel drop about 3m off the side of the road into furns. best bit was only minor damage to the car.

Damo, I'm still chuckling at the comedy routine you and Jesse put on to describe your misadventures- solid gold!

As for me, I had a brilliant weekend- definitely now keen for more of the dirty stuff.

Thanks to Timmy and Squeak for giving me some pointers beforehand.

It took a little while to get my head around not calling every corner but there's definitely enough going on through the stage to keep you on your toes. If you're in any doubt about that you just need to watch some of the in-car from the quicker cars competing.

I had a cracker of a time and as a bonus we won our class and 2WD outright- not a bad way to start my gravel rally efforts :blink:

I'll get you next time gadget! Lol!

You guys did an amazing job and were bloody quick through the spectator point where we were!

We are still really dissapointed that our 'NEW' gearbox let us down, but on the positive side it looks like it was the original selector forks have broken/bent so all is not lost, note to self if ther eis an option for billet selector forks, do it!.

I had a camera in the car (thanks to Benson Motorsport), so I might try put some later.

next time gadget :)

in the meantime... some lol action from the weekend

Pretty much the most excited ive been all year! That temperature makes me quite happy and maybe ill deliberately miss my flight and stay forever! today we had a low of 0 and a high of 11 degrees. its currently 8 degrees. :)

Also looking hella forward to getting back into black betty, with one of the most talented drivers in the country. and catching up with great friends Russ and Sarah!

Bloody hell Timmy, the crack good down there today? :P lol

It's gonna be a great time, Scrut 6:30 tomorrow night Timmy. The event is going to be a no stress good time for me (hopefully!).

I'm disappointed that its not both days running up the mountain, I see the V8 track as a little bit boring for Tim and a little too small, but oh well.

Benny, I'm in no way convinced we can!?!? That Evo has more grunt, less weight, more grip, shorter gearing than we do.

My box or his? No reason why it wouldn't last I don't think?

Russ was super keen to take the tough 32, but Mark told him he was a dickhead and he had a family! lol

Cameras, I don't think so, and fyi, I've never clutch kicked for the camera, only to try and get the laggy thing on boost :P

*** Unless Timmy says through the Stilo, "Clutch kick it you poofta, they love it!"

I hardly need to egg you on! I could go the Big John 'Now give it to er down this straight'

i mean the emo box, early model emo's arn't known for strong boxes.

Have you moved up in the world and got a stilo timmy?

Nah always had a Stilo in my current helmet, but im hoping to get a new Storm Trooper spec Stilo later this year as mine is deteriorating. Just need to make a few extra $ at work to pay for it...

Anyone in need of Insurance or financial advice? ;)

Would be cool to to a "Big John" but it needs more go for it to be worthwhile.

I'm thinking an ATTK externally gated RB30 conversion with S6 Hollinger...... ;)

and it needs to left to the last possable minate

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
