LOL didn't that dusbuster work george!?? Ha ha

Was good meeting you mate! And after having jb in yr car your times dropped!! Well done!

LOL ..I got ripped off with that dustbuster!!!!! Yeah Bozman was awesome, he gave me some handy tips....I'll definately go faster next time because I'll put the bad thoughts out of my mind (i.e. thinking I'm going to write off my car and maybe hurting myself) and give it that 20-30% more... can't wait for the next track day

You guys sound like you had a ball!! :)

Spewn I wasnt out there :)

So did you all learn new things??

Great Times guys! Keep up the good work :)

yeah learnt that car control comes mainly from the feet, not the hands....

amen to that mate! now that you have experienced the rush of being on a track, those first time jitters will be gone for good and you can have confidence in your ability!

Just remember to drive within your capabilities and dont push or be pushed too hard... thats when things go ugly :)

I've been talking to Chubs and I'm seriously considering entering the June 12th Oran Park GP day...A little nervous though since I only just started getting the hang of the South Circuit and now I got some more track to learn . AND, I'm also seriously considering getting an EVO dedicated track car, but then i'd have to get rid of my daily EVO....

You should do it mate!! Seriously for $100 + membership this is by far the cheapest ever chance to run on OP GP!!!! To be honest OP South has the trickiest parts IMO. apart from the kink at the end of the straight, the rest is pretty straight forward!

LOL you cant sell the EVO already!!!! Just do some mods to your current one and you will be hooting around very quickly!!!

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
