Hey Fatz, count me in your number if it helps to get enough. In any case I'll meet you out there.

I'll be in the stock* blue Lexus IS200.

Yeah I know the car has the wrong badges on it, but I'm happy to support a club that actually promotes driving events unlike most other forums in Sydney!

* I swear, they're all like this officer!

No probs, i'll take pauls place.

One last run at OP for the silver Zed.

Fix up on the day Ok Fats? :)

Ron,

I have already paid, just drop the $200 in to UAS on your next visit!

Enjoy the day man, wish I was there!

righto

wizard you have taken pauls spot

Bring lots of jerry cans

Just spoke to magill and he only has 24 people booked in

So its going to be a bucket load of laps for everyone

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Giffarked!

I so should have bought the jerry cans today!!!

My car is drinking fuel like it's going out of fashion... IE... city mileage of around 24L/100KM... :) That is tapping the throttle every now and then... 2 full throttle squirts... :thumbsup: I'm up shit creek tomorrow... *Packs credit card for fuel stops*

Awesome day :)

Some clutch dramas early but all good after that.

thanks to John penno for bringing me out a new braided line and oil to get me going again.

competed in a couple of full on grid races, started mid field in the first one, first corner was a bit of a mess with every one trying to squeeze through.

Started on the second row in the next one and was able to win the drag to the first corner, led for three laps before a couple of the quicker cars squeezed through.

improved my lap time to a 1.25.41 so happy with that.

probably my last drive at OP and will be sorry to see it go, awesome track. :)

thanks to fats for organising, enjoyed the tussle with the GTR, crazy driver though. :)

Was a bit taken aback by the Lotus' and race cars, but an awesome day apart from my brake failure. Well that lead to a necessary brake upgrade to R33 4pots in the paddock lol. Got to see some track time but not happy with the crappy pads I bought, lesson learnt.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
