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

Drive mine anytime mate.

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

it was a 3l cossie job wasn't it? :P

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!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
