The show was pretty good. Was a bit better than the one last year. I think may was a better choice to partner clarkson this year. And the third guy was Greg Murphy this time...not the other kiwi guy from oz top gear. We did the paddock pass backstage thing which was pretty kool. Get to go look at the cars up close and go on the burnout pad etc. Would recommend it if you go.

Well im back from the show and i have to say i enjoyed it. Once again it was a good show even if they didnt have car soccer like last year haha. It was all pretty good really and i think it could of gone for longer really but oh well will just have to wait till next year :)

Saterday night 8pm show was awesome :D loved it to bits ... had some good humor and lots of cool stuff ... especially loved the heat changing paint that the Focus stunt team cars were painted in ...

They were dark grey then went into this big heat booth thing and came out white .... ( AWESOME )

Also loved the 1.3 million dollar rolls royce :D

Also took some pics of the GTR in all of its glory ... love that car

I also took part in the Harley davidson Dyno drags and on the dyno I ran an 11.18 second 1/4 mile :) not bad for my first go :( stuffed the start and could have been quicker again with practice those bikes were heaps cool ... a little bit different to the 09 Suzuki GSXR 750 that I ride ...

The show was good. A pity they only used half the arena so they had to try and fit alot of car stunts in a tiny space. Imagine what they could have done with the whole arena? But then where would they park the 30 cars they brought with them I guess. I arrived early so I got to have a good look at all the exhibits. Didnt see you among the 10 thousand attendees Gem, maybe next time lol.

I agree the show could be so much better if they had more room, but yeh it would be hard to fit it all in including the Tractor they had as well.

I thought it was pretty good, the missus got me front row seats in Row II, in the middle, the flames were really hot!

That Murphy dude killed it though, he wasn't funny, he wasn't witty.. The show would have been much better if it was just James May and Jeremy Clarkson IMO

And Hammond.

Why do they keep choosing kiwis as the 3rd presenter...Last year it was that dude from top gear oz.

Yeh +1 for voting that the 3 of them should come out would be way better.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
