I remember being in the sad bus with Bill Pye in 2009 (Wrestpoint) and he was telling us he'd spent over $350K on building that thing of his.

Not to mention he has punted the thing off a 100 times, hate to think what the repair bills would be like!

I guess it keeps Grant in a job though!

....... and you got good money for it, so suck it up Princess!

...... and start building a GTS-t :D

Well a hug or a cup of harden the f**k up. Thanks woo. Have dried my eyes. All good. Really need to find out what all the fuss is about with GTST. :)

Was your car really 1100kg? someone said they saw it on my105

I will make no comment on the cosworth stroker crate motor but the car weighed near enough to 1260 at race weight. I weighed it after targa with a bit of stuff out of it at about 1245

They're fun to drive, cheap, quite quick, sound great, did I mention cheap? :)

the bloke running round telling everyone it 1100kg is renowned for making stuff up

Ah, the truth is finally out there about the engine. :)

Yeah, he is definately talking shit. Feel free to pass on the pic of the weighbridge piccy below. Not tat it actually proves anything as the car isnt in the pic.(SMS's it to Snowy to wind him up) :) I think it weighed 1270 at THC when they put it on the scales. Have nothing to hide so would happily confirm the weight if it was 1100kg. In reality the time attack guys with fully gutted cars struggle to get to that weight. Dont hink I have actually ever heard of a 6 getting that light. maybe 1150...

and Woo, you had me at cheap :)

Hmmmm. I think i have some idea of where the 1100kg might have come from. My service crew may have been guilty of adding some grist to the tassie targa fraternity rumour mill. :) Apparenbtly there was some chatter about my car when it was for sale and Greg got queried on it. When asked the weight his response was something along the lines of "I cant remeber if it was 1100kg with or without the crew in it." :) Farkin shit stirrer.

Greg loves a shit stirr!

But I had it on good authority from a guy that knows a guy who knows the guy who built the motor and its definately 2.4 grunter.. well that was the talk sunday night at the bar lol!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
