No Paul they didn't do it this year mate. Last year it was too easy to "clean" the stage, and it was too hard to find a way to slow the stage down. Shame, I loved it last year, very fast :dry:

Reverted back to the old Mt Black and Roseberry, and added in Rinadeena, which is Strahan in reverse! :D

Now, whats this about you driving the event, how did we miss you?

I wish - nah I meant in 2008. Timing was all wrong for this year but next is going to be a ripper.

Yeah shame - we had a ball that day, even though we had a small off. Steve managed to wrestle the fish tailing car down from about 180km/h, around a 9 corner, to gently dropping the front wheels into a ditch.

wow. I thought it was a typo and was meant to have a -R in there! yeah the sunnny GTI is AWD non-turbo. pretty average piece of gear. they must have been pushing it pretty hard to get that far up the order. well done. :sick:

Yeh he has been multiple National and State F2 Rally champ in years gone by.

Did they do Reeces dam again this year? Was there similar carnage on that last stage as there was in 2008?

Nahh went back to Mt Black and Rosebery, I reckon there would have been major carnage this year had they been run was wet as over the west coast.

Gee I was getting all confused there Paul! :sick:

Well, with luck, we'll see you back there next year too, gotta start searching out all that spare change that I know is hiding around here somewhere..... :(

wrong on both counts haha Lee's GTI is front wheel drive, as are they all I believe. Its also certainly not an average bit of gear. It is an absolute animal and Lee is a driver of top top quality. Had a few problems I think on day 1 and dropped a lot of time. Can't wait to hopefully see it in the forests this year as it is a sight for the eyes and especially the ears.

the gayness that comes from your typing hurts baby jebus

homo!

I RECON I SHOULD ENTER ROOKIE AND TEACH YOU ALL HOW TO WRAP A CAR AROUND A TREE!!

alright who let Pete into this thread :D

though you would need to find some SERIOUSLY insane to navigate for you.

jenna has indicated that she wants in( lol)

maybe Thumper will.

on a side note, I only found out on the weekend that our car had had the front springs upped to 500 lb/in from 330, hence the front of the car contantly leaving the road....not happy

    • 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.
    • 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).
