what time do i be at your place to pickup your car?? :D

nah hope youre feeling better soon mate. this flu shit is going around. ive been waking up the last few days with a bad sore throat, and having it all day. i CANT afford to take more time off work. but i found an easy solution for the sore throat, before bed, gargle vodka. but dont spit it out, thats a waste, drink it! then youll fall asleep better :) it worked for me last night, i think ill keep doing it till im better hahah

oh yeh i might try that, will have to raid the missus's vodka stash....yeh i havent had the flu in years and years and years so its a real c-unit when you get it....

still soldiering on though, havent had a sick day since 2005, and that was to have some of my intestines removed, so it kinda warranted it....

Nickkkkkkkk do another update list....

Update what?

OK, just about everyone is coming, except maybe Scott due to ice hockey and/or his hearse-hating girlfriend.

Address: 1 Leeds St, Rhodes (Google Map HERE)

Time: 3pm onwards - no idea on finishing time as yet, we'll just go with the flow on that or wait until Jetwreck kicks us out...

OK, does anyone, by chance, have a small portable BBQ that they can bring along? Seeing as we may be there for quite a while, it might be handy to have some food available as well as the coffee van/cart that we're hoping to obtain. The shopping centre is only 3mins away, so that is another (last resort) option, but if we can avoid a run to the shops it might make things easier for all.

Dang, didn't we invite the guy with the gas stove in the back of his stag? :laugh:

if your bringing anything like that let us know if you want me and the wife to bring anything down, might ask her if she wants to make a cake for our 1st meeting. but she will probably slap me, i know my place lol.

I like how he just volunteers my services, don't you?? lol

We don't have a portable BBQ (PS: great idea though!!), but are happy to pick up something if we're having a bbq, etc.

Oh well, if we can't get a BBQ there, we'll have to make sure we can order a coffee/snacks van so we can all ride on a caffeine and sugar fix.

An extra bonus of having this on this Sunday is that it's a long weekend! :)

Nick i do have a little portable bbq, it takes a little while (a long while) to heat up, and might not heat up evenly, but

at the end of the day it heats up, i can try bring that? It isnt very big though, it would still be alright to crank some

sausages on. Gas bottle would need to be supplied though....

Tell her she has to make a cake in the shape of a stagea....and seeing as there are series 1 and series 2 c34's,

as well as m35's, that means she has to make at least 3 cakes....get on her case she only has a few days....

    • 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).
    • 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.
