Lend me your eyes, oh posse!

I left work this afternoon, turned a corner (albeit somewhat sideways?) and went up the hill, never more than 65kmph... speed camera truck on opposite side of the road, on the side where traffic would be going downhill.

It flashed as I was coming up to it :D

Do you think its possible the guy inside set it off manually to get my plates etc?

OR is it more likely someone going the other way was speeding at the same time? Which side of the road/which way do they face?

EDIT: Yes, dumb, I know... shouldn't be doing stupid things.

They for the side of the road they're on - you should be fine.

OR - they take photos of the traffic going the same direction that their camera is pointing (usually the same side of the road they're on - but I've heard of some vans that have 2 cameras)

But I still think you'll be fine.

why did u want me to go home?

well... my car is driving like a charade, really need to put that goo on my coil pack. I was supposed to go to Jason's place to do it... but he's disappeared off the face of the earth... and I don't have sockets :D

Hmmmmm thanks for that... yeah I just hate the feeling in the pit of my stomach right now :D So dumb hahahaha ah well

What do you need sockets for? Removing crossover pipe + coilpack cover etc? Or are you without coilpack cover? If you're without then you just need a phillips head screw driver... although you've probably thought of that already hahaha

unlucky. I can probably give u a lift if you need - call/sms me if you do as I'm about to p*ss off

It's driveable (just) so don't need a lift, thanks though!

removing strut brace, crossover pipe and blow off valve.

got allan keys and screwdrivers. Thought about trying it with my shifters, but it'd probably take me all fkn day

True where do you live? You can swing by mine and do it in my driveway if you want tonight?

That does not sound good

so, i finished work not too long ago, now im chillin here, just assembled my new snap-on air compressor, its a little oversized to say the lest.

I need a 15amp power point wired into my garage now......

they can get you on both sides of the road. old boss got done by one with me in the car. camera was on the other side, flashed as he went past doing 70. got the fine two weeks later.

good luck. hopefully it was for someone on the other side.

That compressor looks bad ass :blush:

Don't the cameras have to point the same direction that the car is travelling though?

    • 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).
