so i wake up this morning to a message saying my poor 32 got smashed, this being from fellow SAU member shaz! so i think some vandals, or a small ding, shaz goes on to explain, she was in haundorf and some drunk idiot was on the wrong side of the road, going around a corner, the car in front stopped, as did shaz, the guy behind then plowed shaz up the ass at 70km/hr!definately not enjoyable for anyone!

now shazelik is still in hopsital waiting to see a specialist for her neck, she also needs a new rear bar for a 32! lol

anyway just putting it out there, have her in your thoughts and prayers, never good for this to happen to your pride and joy, but worst of all she is hurt, so jsut think of her! and show her some SAU love!

cheers boys n girls

yea funny story tho, she let someone from work take her car up the shop, just down the road, and he comes back with a gutter rashed f**ked up rim, so shaz is having no luck! but now everyone knows her life story! lol sorry shaz! but jokes aside, is a nice car, and she is a good friend, so thoughts and prayers everyone!

That's certainly bad luck, but if she was stationary I highly doubt the guy was doing 70km/hr at impact.

That's write off speed for both cars pure and simple.

60km/hr vs stationary car is enough speed to make a VL two feet shorter.

As always, and others have said, glad she's ok - no-one likes to hear of fellow enthusiasts being injured.

thanks guys got outta hospital last nite

had to have so many scans and xrays, they thought i had fractured my neck. but they think its ok. just have to go back for more scans over the next few weeks.

i'm really not sure how fast the guy hit me, he said he was doing 85 before he even braked n he was sitting pretty close. He told the cops about 70, but i really have no idea.

the rear bar is totally f**ked, the boot is all pushed up n won't shut n the drivers door won't close properly. haven't really looked at it closely, yet but i think the reason it doesn't look so bad is becoz he must have tried to swerve to miss me and hit the tow hook on the right hand side of the car. His car is totally stuffed tho.

if anyone knows of a cheap rear bar going around let me know.

Thanks!

      R32 Nostalgia

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
