I don't know whats more scary.. the fact that he asked or the fact that you know

Used to detail cars, NEVER wanted to know what I was cleaning but carpet shampoo Usually gets MOST things out and if that doesn't degreaser works on most other things.

Did you guys actually plan anything for the cleanage of the cars?

I might be up for something provided I actually get my car back in time.

Would also appreciate any tips on good products for cleaning the engine bay. Not sure if I'm that motivated but just in case :blush:

Just use degreaser on everything (might want to put plastic bags over sensitive bits and clean with degreaser and a rag) and rinse it off. Don't do it while the engine is hot, but about 10-15 minutes after it's been off. Won't deform anything and the warm engine will dry water if it's gotten anywhere it shouldn't. Start the car once your done to ensure it dries out. After having it run for 5 minutes let it cool down a bit again and use a plastics cleaner (armorall sell a pretty cheap one) to spray everything with and start your car (again) to make sure it dries.

I don't like using water in the engine bay, do it at your own risk. I've had one car run a bit funny after doing it, I dried all the connections and after a while I got it back to normal, but I'm sure if you don't do this all while the car is warm worse could happen. I've detailed about 20 engine bays and only had one small and easy to fix problem. Not sure what other peoples experiences are. Just don't spray water on your engine while it's still at normal running temps. It will deform the metal. When I do mine and Shell's I'll be sealing the valley and doing that bit with a rag - Don't want water sinking down there.

Well I'm not going away this weekend anymore so

still meeting at the usual spot on saturday morning?

The event is on Sunday the 21st I think this is the 3rd time I have pointed it out in this thread!!

ITS ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deep Breath :bunny:

I'll be there, but car will most likely be covered with bugs and other associated stuff as I'll be at the coast the day before. Unless I can be bothered giving it a good wash the night before.

Kat, we're using Damo's driveway in Melba... there's enough room for 2 cars in front of the double garage... but if you wanted to join us you could probably fit behind as the driveway is long enough :bunny:

Thanks chick, at this stage count me in. With any luck I'll get my car back in time :S

I'm going to be buying some stuff for me and Shell to clean our cars with, did you want me to pick up some stuff for you too? If so, just tell me what your planning on cleaning (e.g. Just exterior and engine bay, plastics, carpet). I've already got a bit of stuff left over from the last time I did this so I might not even have to buy much.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
