Personally i would prefer good wet weather braking over good traction in the wet.

Why not have both! Braking in the wet at traffic speeds is only gonna be as good as your front tyres!

I hearya dude. both is great but i become miss daisy when it rains. Traction even in the worst conditions will not be an issue to me.

Lol,

Seems to be a right royal clusterf*ck at work today. Email Down, Internet Down, Document Management system down, 90% of all other systems down.

Glad I didn't make it in, somebody else's problem :thumbsup:

Too much wet this weekend. Garage got 2" covering and it almost came inside the house :thumbsup:

I put some oober drainage out the front too..... stupid thing got blocked between the street run off and the drains I put in... grrr.

Yeah, Rain is good, the grass seed we threw out last week is about two inches long, but at the moment 70% of it is under water. I think it's drain digging time, when it finally stops raining on the bloody weekends.

I just have more weeds growing :thumbsup:

And haven't been able to mow for weeks

havent had to mow a lawn in like 18 months because of the horses lol. That's the only thing they're good for.

Apparently they taste good too.

Well, we just had people bring in old crt monitors asking why they werent working. The things were filled with water because they left the window open :\

My coon's brakes arent too fantastic, they shudder in the dry (even with new rotors/pads) so it's a good thing I only had to drive to aspley and back this morning and then 5 minutes to work.

I was thinking about how awesome it would be to have awd today, getting up a hill with t/c on wasnt fun.

It's raining fuccking sideways!!!

Lol, I opened the garage door this morning, saw that, and instantly thought of Forest Gump giving a breakdown of the different types of rain.

sup mangs. Scored a full exhaust for the GTR. Front pipes, cat, and 3 inch catback with canon for $220. Bargain.

by scored, is another member going to start a thread in a few minutes saying "some cunt stole the exhaust off my r32 gtr."?

today's drive to work was great fun. No one on the road cause you couldn't see more then about 20 metres in front of you this morning

I had eleventy billion people in front of me today! How come you got so lucky?

The Exige Type 72

The Exige Scura

Which are all the same as these - Exige Cup 260

All 260Hp 2ZZ-FE toyota supercharged engines, the only real difference is the Type 72 runs Bilstein/Eibach suspension and the Scura and Cup 260 run full Ohlins external cannister race suspension. All of them are around 900Kg on the road.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • 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.
