Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)

Cool! We can make it a mixed team, I dont propose we make an official team, just a bunch of people turn up of a sunday arvo in a park somwhere and play, at school we would do this all the time we would play league rules and use peoples shoes to mark the field lol

We could play red rover too

Preliminary Rollcage Ideas (courtesy of a picture off the internet and MSPAINT)

Green bits will be included if they are affordable and allowed under CAMS (nothing about them in sched. J of the cams manual though)

Purple bit will only be included if its cheap and the cage builder tells me its worthwhile.

Not sure which way to go with side intrusion yet. If double, apparently the old school X is not strong at the join, it needs to be gussetted or use two bent pipes welded together instead.

If single, I think I prefer it running right back to the harness bar as it doesn't create a bend point halfway up the main loop then...

What about the ladder style side instrusions? And the purple bit is the other bar to make the roof cross/X right? Would of thought that would be pretty standard for a cage builder to deal with ie not that expensive? Stuff penetrating the firewall is generally more expensive and difficult from what I've seen/read about on the internet.

I would prefer the two bent bars for the side intrusion but it's not like it's door to door racing so you're not likely to have anyone come crashing through your drivers door.

Squares are bad. Triangles :ninja:

Yeah, but I think the second part of the "X" is redundant here. Leaving it out will save weight and probably cost. Unless the engineer tells me its important its gone.

Yeah, but it also gives the most benefits for chassis rigidity. If its allowed by cams and not stupidly expensive, I'd like to include it.

Yeah I havend decided yet... the two bent bars would be best but the single bar would be lighter and probably enough. Unless I decide to use it for rallying and then I'd want the double bars.

I'm also tossing up wether to put a harness bar on the main loop as well so I don't have to run them right to the back...

wow there is a blast from the past

that got banned at out primary school due to injuries lol

Or force em back with the footy

great days... great days

Triangles obv > squares agree was just throwing it up as another option.

Most of the cages I've seen either have an X or a V in the roof. If engineers reckon it isn't needed I'd leave it out but I'd always want that extra protection if a roll over happens

Definitely better for rigidity but I only ever see it on the more serious cars which makes me think it will probably be prohibitively expensive.

Have a look at how Risking on here does his cages. He has the harness bar in the main hoop aswell I'd rock it like that if you can

Yeah found this thread, it's given me a few ideas for changes.

I might go with the V roof, it looks pretty strong (triangles) and not much more weight than the single bar

so who's coming tonight?

Martin & Dan will be westward bound for project alfa and thus be late.

I don't want to be just sitting there with my dick in my hand for 2 hours... so who else is coming?

league rules wins = epic grubbers and 5th tackle plays

Yeah football with out kicking is a bit shit, The only real problem you get is knock ons, leads to some interesting convos, so perhaps league rules with one touch rule, that being if the ball hits the ground its a turn over.

    • 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.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?  
    • Well, I was using ECUTalk software if that helps? Not sure if that only can see engine codes? Is there any other software I could give a try? Or any way I can get a blink code?
    • I never touched it, it should have. I'll try to give it an adjust. With IACV plugged in, it idles at around 1120RPM on average. Max 1200 RPM, Minimum 1025RPM before it starts dropping right before stalling. Took the data from the Nistune logs.
    • Thats what im trying to solve bro  no one with aem tuner experience would advice  much appreciate
