Well DECA is upon us again.

As always, the event wont go ahead unless we get people to help out on the day.

So we are calling for your assistance - if your willing to help, or if your bringing a friend/partner who's willing to help - please speak up.

We can explain what you need to do if you haven't done it before, so don't stress about that.

It is VERY easy stuff! and you will get a great view of the action!!

(very good for you budding photographers)

All officials will be given a free lunch and water during the day.

We also need all officials to be at DECA by 8.00am on Saturday morning - same time as competitors.

Chair, sunscreen, hat etc all make this into a relaxing day

A Slight change to previous events. we will be organizing Volunteers prior to the Drivers Briefing.

And until all slots are filled Drivers briefing will NOT go ahead and the event will not start.

I know it sounds harsh but without these people we cannot run the event.

Please PM me if you are able to help out. even if just for 1/2 a day.

cheers

Martin

Hi Martin,

Count me in again. Only catch is I am only available half a day this time, have to scoot around 12-12:30 at latest for my nephews birthday. Happy to do long wang in morning if you guys want, but if theres no one who can cover me for the last 1/2 hour to an hour that it's running I might be better off on the skidpan in the morning - at least then I can get one of the people who arent driving at the time to fill in for me. (From past events long wang normally finishes about 1 I think??) Happy either way - I will leave it up to you guys. :ninja:

Cheers,

Anna

Willing to help. can be there all day. Don't have a preferred event to do, so take your pick :blink:

What time do i have to be there by? was actually thinking of driving there in the morning & driving back at night. Sorry, this is my first time, so I don't know if it's best to stay overnight or can drive for the day? :P

Wynn - as stated in Martins first post, we need all officials at DECA by 8am on the Saturday morning.

A day trip is defiantely doable, its completely your call. There is a lot of us staying up there for the entire weekend. Check out the accommodation thread if you are keen to stay.

Cheers,

Bec

PS. Will run long wang :P

Can't make it this time but it's awesome for whoever hasn't done it before. Easy stuff and get to see people run into cones n stuff. Oh and then trying to find them when they are dragged halfway across the track lol

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
