28th sounds good for german food

Friday is turning out slightly better than expected. Wife is going up to Bundy with the kids and her parents this evening, whereas I will be driving out there tomorrow morning. Leaves me home to have a few drinks, watch football and get a solid night of sleep in. Win win win

Not hopefully broncos win .

That's almost as awesome a use of your time as punching yourself in the balls. Less enjoyable though.

Because Harry's Dinner is for Dyno Queen Dickheads and Auto Salon f**kbags.

So a guy who likes to make a powerful engine and put it on a dyno is a dickhead?

And someone who likes to maintain and make their car look the best possible way in their mind is a f**kbag?

Harrys is just a place for people with a car passion to hang out, I dont mind it, head there every few weeks to meet up with mates and talk shit, good fun kiss.gif

im with twocents, wats wrong building a car for the dyno or building a show car??

these ppl put a lot of time effort and money into building these cars. now im like any one with my own personal taste towards wat i like and dont like but even if i dont like it ((kingswoods for exampe and there was a neat one there the other week) i can still appreciate the work that goes into it.

If you're only going to put it on a dyno, then just build an engine. Not a car.

And if you're going to take a perfectly functionak car to make something completely impractical for the streets, changing/ruining the original design to the point of stupidity. Adding colors and chrome, TVs and full sick subs. Then be an interior decorator.

Lol. i kinda agree with you. The people who build cars that they dont drive but trailer to shows i dont understand. i would want to drive it all the time. But people love to stand out and if they want to then you take the good with the bad. Some love what you have done to your car, some hate it. But its your money.

I dont see the point if modifying a car past what they class as legal

Yep, the only cars that should be taken on trailers are track cars, pre delivery cars and broken down cars.

Sarp mangs. Pretty successful weekend so far I started to do an epic detail on my car. Only finished claying the car so far but it's looking a lot better now. Has taken about 9 hours so far to get it ready for polishing. Shouldn't leave it so long in between details lol. And I definitely need to wax it more often to stop all the paint getting shit embedded in it.

Now I'm cooking a lamb roast like a baws.

my dads not a phone??

yeah man, its alot of fun, havent done mine for about a year now, and polish has been more than 6 months...not looking forward to the elbows full of grease that will be involved.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
