There is a proposal for a new ANDRA drag racing complex in Melbourne with a 4 lane drag racing strip around the Avalon area.There is a public rally and car show at Melbourne Show Grounds on the 20th February 2010.

This is something Melbourne needs so get behind it Sau vic members and friends

For more information visit there web site www.motorvatemelbourne.com

Pass this info to your friends and get them to sign the petition on there web site

As i said to a few mates...

I hope they put a big sign out the front that reads: "FCUK YOU BOB".

That would make my year :(

But yes, great chance for Victoria to get some decent facilities. I'll be there in Feb f0 sure!

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...

Calder just spent money upgrading the facilities?

SO WHY THE HELL did Bob not do enough improvement to get it to ANDRA spec? how much more would it have cost if they wre already upgrading? And he would have the drags back and lots of income again.

Im Bumping this for all the drifters and people who want to do DECA style stuff as well closer to melbourne than winton!

Its on sat the 20th Feb!

If you call the money spent on it lately "upgrading" then that's where your issue lies.

It was simply money to bring it back to mediocre level... up from dilapidated.

Calder has a LONG way to go before it would ever be ANDRA certified... hence nothing has gone on there since the 1990's.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
