see if i can get off my ass and get the car back together, tune and all that stuff i will be in :P

Ill take that as you wont be coming hahahaha

In regards to yellow stickers....in my experience it will be ok as these driver training days are self scrutineered. However, if one of the instructors/staff see something that is a safety issue (steel hanging out of tyres, excessive oil leaks, seat belt held together with zip ties/safety pins) then they will exclude you from going on the track. I dont believe they will give a shit that your car has adjustable suspension that may not meet ADR.

Having said this, this is not a guarantee.

Having got another play-thing while my engine is being re-built, I will give it a go.

It's a GTI-R!

Not sure how the trapped nerve in my neck will respond to wearing a helmet, but that's another story! (I have not been having a good time the last few months!!!)

Cheers. :P

GTi-R & the mx5 can go head to head, right Keith?

Sure, sounds like fun...just waiting for the new combo to arrive and Brad install a few bits. This thing is supposed to be my daily while I'm stuck in the office but I can see it becoming a bit more as things progress :)

Seriously, the gear knob came off in my hand last time I drove it and the steering wheel isn't even round lol

Sounds like we will be well matched - my gearknob is held on by blue electrical tape!!

Hmm ... .. .. .. must see if I can get a Nismo knob somewhere. That should add 30 hp by itself!

:)

I will be away until maybe Wednesday so wont be checking on the thread or replying to PM's until i get back so pleae dont think im ignoring you.

If you have an urgent question about entry/payments, talk to Dan.

Urgent questions about the rules etc for the track day, talk to Paul.

I'll ask her, but we can't both drive, as then no-one would be there to look after Marcus :cheers:

haha pretty sure there would be plenty of people to gush over him and etc

will try to make the treck for a catchup as cherrired is still in the shed due to shifter issues and time constraints

I'll ask her, but we can't both drive, as then no-one would be there to look after Marcus :P

Nah i've done it that many times now i've lost interest. I'll find something for me and him to do that day. >_<

    • 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.
