Side note : Did i tell you's that if i can get enough donations I will be growing a hitler still moustache for movember... but I might call it a chaplin... not sure the jury is out on that one.

Hmmm, I think a chaplin moustache is a little bigger than a hitler one. I'm willing to donate if you do an actual hitler one, and rock it to a meet. You can call it whatever you like, but you'd damn well better look like hitler :(

Done hitlering it up. . I'll get the donation forms etc ;)

I was rebuilding engines and gearboxes in my first year, the good part of being an apprentice in a small workshop. Yep clutches is actually taught in the second year tafe module. So yer they do teach that in as a 2nd year apprentice.

From my veiw, exedy is ok for an off the shelf application, i got one in mine thats lasted 3 years so far, i wasn't too happy with its clamping force so i had that beefed up by jim berry, its got a really nice feel to it now, not a weak stock feel. But i have driven smity42's clutch that jim made and its a great clutch doesn't slip and feels really nice on the pickup.

Also a jim berry clutch will last about 2 times longer in a ferrari than the standard one will.

My next clutch will probably be an OS or something like that.

Exedy do make a nice lightweight flywheel though

Yep all tax deductible. Signed up on the website and everything. Should have put the mo to a poll and seen which one would have been the coolest. We could change that ? Or still keen on the "hitler" ?

:(

There was a pole ? Man why wasn't I informed ? Sheesh..

Sorry haha next time i will be sure to inform you :(

Excellent. Always like a good pole...action...

So wrong ;);)

    • 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).
