lol, sorry richard, you've got the wrong person here - I don't even know how to open that lid over the engine thingy :bahaha:

Good luck getting it on the road before then - its only next Thursday, remember!

tell me about it. I have someone down at earls buying stuff for me as I type. I really want to fit my oil cooler before then too so that I can do more than 5 laps in one go.

Looks like I have a fun weekend ahead :D

I just had an even better idea! Forget fixing my car, lend me yours - you can now live your trackday dreams vicariously through me :uh-huh:

:D

c'mon.....

Very doubtful that I will have a car by the 2nd - I thought I'd have it 2 weeks ago, 1 week for bluey etc, so should have been cooking with gas - But alas - it is not to be -

Looks like I I have to wait till next time to make my Team Trackday debut.

Unless........ I hire a Lotus Elise for the day - only $400. I wonder if they would let me take to Eastern Creek ????? :D

really? that's cheap....but an even cheaper option is a $110 mx5 from sky vehicles in haberfield.....and their insurance contract does *not* exclude track use :D

Payment made in Cash or Credit Cards only.  

Security Bond $15,000 Credit Card ONLY  

100km Free included per day, 500km Free for weekend package. Excess kms are charged at $1 per km. Minimum of 2 days on weekends.  

Insurance is included, Excess is AUD $20,000.00.

All,

I have some good news and some bad news.

The bad news, looks like I wont make the afternoon.

The good news, I will be sailing on a 72ft America cup sail boat around the harbour all ofternoon. Everyone enjoy the day and I do my best to enjoy mine.

Paul, can I come with you???

PLEASE!

Spoke to Moto,

We have spots bookes and a few spare, so if you want to come along even for a half day then let me know asap.

I have to work untill 8:30am so I won't be there to set you all up. I have your deposits organised though so just go to the garage at pit exit and sign up and pay the balance (should be $130) and you'll be right to go. I should be at the track right on 9am.

Don't forget your water and a full tank of fuel!!!!

Those that wanted to do a half day that will be fine. As Duncan said it will be negotiate a price on arrivial!

See you all Thursday,

Dan.

Done... wiring transfer now...

I WISH!!!

As said earlier, I won't be there in time to get all set up. Bonkers is now able to do a full day and has organised these days before so if you find him (Black GTS) I'm sure he can set you in the right direction if your having problems. I have also asked Zane (White GTS) to help out also.

See you at 9am,

Dan.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
