I was quite chuffed when they turned up. he's been saying that for weeks and then I get a text msg saying be there in an hour.. the contra deal I like as well. I have to fix a cube for him and tats it. he's got the bits for it..

sold my wheels this afternoon.

will need the funds to fix a few little things around the car

also gotta find out why my brake lights decided to stay on after I turned the car off this afternoon.....

[Watch your backs ladys. Import driving dangerous hoons will no doubt get the blame for the road carnage of the last couple of days.

There will be a crackdown fo sho.

It shits me to tears how the 5-0 are allowed to profile us based on our cars. I drive my car sensibly on the road and it's in great shape mechanically yet I'll get picked on while the flat capper doing 110 through school zones driving a busted falcadore with more problems than k's on the clock will be left alone.

*rant over*

Morning boys and girls, late start at work today makes me happy in my pants!

Morning Mangs,

also gotta find out why my brake lights decided to stay on after I turned the car off this afternoon.....

When mine did that, it was the bit of plastic/rubber on the brake pedal that pushes the brake switch... it had disintegrated, so there was nothing to push on the switch and turn the brake lights off.

rubber stop on the brake pedal is stuffed. had that with a few jap cars now.

Computer just shat its self completely. Going to take it to be looked at on Tuesday (one of the downsides to owning a Mac) but I'm going to guess that it's probably not worth repairing.

Time to start looking for a new system I guess.

Buy parts from Msy/Umart and build it yourself, can get a good Pc for 800 bucks.

hi guys.

The little rubber is between the brake pedal and the brake light switch.

what is the location of said switch?

had a quick look with the car parked in the garage, but couldn't really see much as the car is tiny and I dont manouver well in there

will pull the car out to give me a bit more space and have a look shortly. just packing the kids up for Marisa to take them out for the day. yay, free time!!

At the top of the brake pedal mang

its a bitch to get to

magical

luckily I am small and nimble, so should have no trouble with hard to reach places

the clutch has one as well. a small flat tooped bolt will fix it. both of mine were perished from old age.

    • 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).
