We are on holidays :D

Next committee meeting isnt for a couple of weeks yet. I like to give committee members a few weeks break - they do work pretty hard :P

There will be one - always is one... just takes a few weeks for everyone to wind up into swing again.

Plus elections are in Feb (more info to follow in coming weeks) :)

lol i'll give you some pics that i might take this yr. as much work as you'll ever get out of me :) in all seriousness though, how come no calendar. i woulda thought that since last yr's template was available, and looked the goods, its just a matter of substituting new pics.

edit: i do realise that since its already 2010, it may be too late to collect pics and get it made in time.

Yep :)

It was tabled, there was a volunteer to get it done, sadly they ran outta time before we had time to replan - that's how it goes sometimes unfortunately.

Its not a set template either, gotta change it up each year or it'd be rather, bland if you know what i mean.

Printing is the easy part, everything else doesn't change a lot.

Damn the SAU 09 calender had pride of place in our kitchen....no SAU 2010 calender means it'll prob be replaced with some BS anne geddes one or some sh1t :)

Oh well it happens, but if you can see that times running short post a thread asking for help as the committee have done for other things...and yes I am aware of how many responses you get for the requests for help but you never know.

We didn't see time was going to run short - late notice and all :)

So ye, if we had've known, might have been possible. Unfortunately i can't micro-manage every little task :rofl:

And ye, responses for volunteers/committee helped etc is always met with... zero. Sometimes one. Usually zero.

Hardly enough people putting thier hands up out of nearly 400 people. Means those who are dedicated, really have to put in serious hours... heavens help the club if those people stop...

I really would like to see people step up in 2010 and get onto the voting/nominations etc in a couple weeks when posted.

All well and good to say you are keen, doing it is another i've found!

Perhaps if there is enough interest in making the club calendar an annual thing - then it should be included as a responsibility of one of the sub-committee members to coordinate. This will ensure at least one person will be on to it, instead of everyone thinking it's someone else doing it. I call it management delegation :rofl:

There was someone who said they would do it - regardless of it being "listed" or not - if you are doing it, you are doing, that is how i run my ship :rofl:

It's my fault for not chasing it up, but when S'n'S, Gala Ball (then throw in other members with DECA) etc etc required more time than i thought, somethings get forgotten.

Sometimes in a group of volunteers, such outcomes are unavoidable.

But everyone reading this going "bummer" - i challenge you to come onboard in 2010 and see how much work is involved.

We ALWAYS need dedicated & committed people to give us a hand. Never a time when we don't these days.

Well Ash, if you guys needs someone to design a calendar, I'm more than happy to donate my time for it :D

As a matter of fact, I'm more than happy to help SAU with ANY design work, that needs done. Just lemme know :P

    • 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.
