Managed to talk to the couple of people i know that went last night, they all enjoyed it and said the show goes for roughly an hour and a half.

Also give yourselves a bit of time to have a look around out the front before you go in as there is plenty to look at plus some motor x guys doing jumps and the stunt riders.

They also mentioned if your driving they parked in the P1 parking complex but they said it was a bit crazy trying to get out so if you can get there earlier enough to be on the bottom level and pay the full parking fee upfront you will get out a lot quicker as the line to pay parking was huge.

Hope this helps. :sick:

I putt around in an 08 red gti peugeot normally. The 32 probably comes out once a fortnight to keep cobwebs from forming. I will give my opinion after my session tonight. Good to know that I should get in early to see some exhibits before hand.

Went last night, was brilliant. It was definetly better than last year, the hosts were better and the show was better too. They had Skaife/Richards GTR from Bathurst in 92 which I found quite amusing as it was just sitting there being ignored amongst all of the Brockie Commodores and old XC-XD Falcons. If you've never been to acer arena park near the down ramps takes you like 5 minutes to get out as opposed to the 45 minutes it took me last year. May and Clarkson are definetly the better Duo rather than Clarkson and Hammond they have much better chemistry and the jokes were gold, like when Clarkson was staring at this girl with a low cut top and was really distracted then he grabbed the camera pointed it at the girl got her up on the big screen and said "now would you be concerntrating on the show your doing?"

    • 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.
