Serious decisions to be made..... Tugga High Country, or a week in the Whitsundays on a 54' self-drive powerboat. LOL (amazing how 6hrs can throw so many curve balls at you!)

Edited by Marlin
anyone watch Targa NZ on the weekend? Good to see Parsons is still racing his TR7 V8

speaking of the Parsons TR7, YT is in NZ at the moment, spoke to him tuesday and

he was doing lap's at hampton down's in Parson's rig, recon's it's a fair jigger....

Yeah I had the choice between TWP11 and Whistler.

I'm going skiing :P

I heard they're not allowing strokers and sequentials in.... shock horror! LOL

Where are they covered in the eligibility regs again? :P

Good to see the guys are serious about this

Looks like I now have seats sorted for HC (provided we make the cut), TWP and TT.

Now just need to try and find a classic silly seat for Rally Tas!

Ben, I'm on my way up wash your mouth out for even saying you're contemplating not doing High Country :D

Catchy's missus saying in the background of our phone conversation, "remember David, you have a family now!" has kind of taken the sheen off it for me to be frank.

I like to have a crack, not just drive around, and to have that shit hanging over my head sucks a thick one.

I dunno Sav. I had 800 down since April toward TT2011 and asked them to shift it over towards THC. Now I need to ask Helen to shift it back again! LOL

I'm determined to do TT2011. Tim said he's locked in with me, time will tell I guess, knew I shouldn't have taught him so well :happy:

Who's got timmy for targa high?

I'm OUT!

David Smokespole can't even find the time to call me back, so yeah, I've lost interest.

I'm going boating and drinking with Giant instead :)

That sucks the big one Woo! Either way I'm sure you'll enjoy the Whitsundays :nyaanyaa:

When I look at all the money torn up doing these events, then look out in front of my place - no big boat. Good choice. We call it fun Ben, but those closest to us my have a diffferent spin lol.

TT

oh no's, how will all those Targa spec emo's on my105 sell now?

Anyone know if Weeksy is converting to the super turefo spec's?

ALL?? Only X see Beaumonts 2.4 stroker... but did see JK has his RS & N1 for sale. Both very good cars.

TT

You doing it Greggy?

Nah... doing a ground up rebuild and looking to do the PP thing. Plus wouldnt mind a few casual road trips like Mt Stuart in the future. Mind you some of the THC roads look trick. (Speaking of THC hang on...)

Maybe we have done our last Targa. The last one was what I wanted to do, but not with all the wank that followed. Might even run someone in our car - cos I still like beating the factories (and anyone else that finishes behind us).

Six years is a long time and when we lost Bunnings the cost became unsustainable. New challenges I think. The TPCR with the likes of Hooch and A.Lawson seems like fun though.

TWP & TWP are on the horizon - but will be modern classic by the time we get there.

TT

    • 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.
