Can I ask what are the options for accommodation?

Are we fending for ourselves? Our doing the groupie thing again?

I was thinking of:

Option A - driving up Friday night ... get a room ... go to show ... back to room for drinks ... drive back sunday

Option B - driving up Friday night ... get a room ... go to show ... drive back to Adelaide

Option C - driving up Sat early morning ... go to show ... stay the night ... drive back sunday

Thoughts?

im going up to loxton night ruby so ill have a talk with stuart and see what he rekons, he mentioned something last weekend which he thinks will be suited for the SAU group so ill try and get some more info from him tonight/tomoro and post it up :blush:

p.s can this thread be cleaned up a little. thankyou.

Cara I've already wiped 2 pages of shit off this thread (was 4 pages 2 days ago and I reduced it back to 2), now it's back up there again!

But meh, I've got nothing better to do.

For the first time in a long time ... I've got a free weekend this weekend (end of semester) :blush: so ought to finish off the TLR rebuild/rewiring. I'll fire her to life tomorrow for the first time in 6 months. Let me know if you guys can hear my bike from your neighbourhood. :wacko:

Yeah, might definitely take the TLR to the show. I don't think you guys have been introduced to the "Rizla TLR" :down:

I have managed to get the 23rd, 24th, and 25th off of work. So i will definitely be heading there, i will most likely head up sometime Friday and stay the night, go to the show, and maybe stay the Saturday night as well if we have a "Fun night out", then head home Sunday.

i reckon the best option is to head up the day before, have a big nite, and the show the next day.. like kadina. at other car shows ive tried going up there in the morning, staying the nite and coming home the next day.. but after the show ur so stuffed u just wana get home.

Yes that is the best idea Steve thats what i will be doing.

Ok folks i would like to welcome all of you that are looking at coming to the Riverland Auto expo.

To be held on the 24th and 25th october 2009 in Loxton

Some info on the weekend.

Friday the 23rd of october

Well to start the weekend we try to organise a bench session at one of the local pubs or clubs for pre entries usually around the 7 oclock mark. this helps us get to know people and helps us make the next morning run smoother.

Saturday the 24th october

to start this day we open the gates to entrants at 7 am for setup of vehicles and displays. we try to have all

cars in and parked before 9.30 for insurance reasons.

Gates open to public at 10 am.

usually the day ends around. 4 oclock. this gives us time to pack up and get ready for the cabaret dinner.

The cabaret dinner and trophey presentation starts at 7pm to be held at the loxton Sporting Club.

we usuall stick around most of the evening drinkin and getting to know alot of people that attend the event.

Sunday the 25th october

We organise a cruise around the riverland ending for a bbq lunch so people that have to travel get home at a reasonable time.

Any questions please dont hesitate to ask

Cara has entry forms otherwise let me know and ill email them to you

a flyer shall be posted soon.

thanks Stuart

Riverland Motorsports Club Events Commitee.

Hey Stuart, welcome and thanks for the info.

Sounds like 2 nights stay may be the go in that case, however, if choosing 1 night only, maybe Sat night at the minimum to take advantage of the Sat night dinner & presentation, Sun cruise, and Sun BBQ lunch.

Stuart, for those that won't be there Frid night, how would that affect the pre entry submissions.......I'm assuming as long as they are there early Sat morning that it'd still be OK, yeah?

Basically what happens on the saturday morning is we will meeting all the entrys. giving them there numbers and other show day material.

the pointing in the direction of you club and display area.

as quoted before aslong as we can have people in the grounds and parked by 9.30

would be muchly appreciated. if there are going to be any late arrivals just let on of us know on the day and

we will get you too where u will be.

Judging will commence between 9.30 and 10 am as we are expecting quite a few cars this year.

should be a great day.

more precise details shall be out shortly.

any entrys recieved early, will also recieve a second advice sheet explaining what is happening in more detail.

as for accomodation.

    • 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.
