Let's see some pics!

Sorry couldn't make it guys, had a crap/long day at work and have been driving the v for work the past 2 days as my old man had to borrow my daily, kinda made me not want to drive it. Was supposed to hit up natio with my crew as well tonight but the weather laid rest to that.

Interesting, a few Vs around the stgeorge area...even one in penshurst. But i hardly ever see them lol.

Will definitely come to the V cruise when it's organised.

Hey all, great meeting you all on friday.

Got plenty of pics, i've had a quick look through and their are a fair few nice ones.

I havent had a chance to really sort them out yet, but i might throw some easy ones up later today.

+++ Triple thanks for Messiah taking the pics, awesome job man, made the night im sure.

I know he spied some shots of my carbon fibre engine bay so im keen to see that, just wish id polished it =[

I've got a new CarPC edition for you all in a week or 2 which im sure you'll all like.

as promised... here is a tiny tiny hint of whats to come.

below is a link to the flickr set I'll be adding the pics to as i sort them out. It only has one in there at the moment, and that shouldn't be considered a finished shot for a few reasons... one listed below.

I've noticed that the water drops on the black cars plays merry hell with the hdr process, so this will require some touching up. note to self for future... bring a shammie.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
