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.

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.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
