It's more about the "passion for all things motorsport", including car shows, drag racing, rally, drifting, etc , If you don't like it don't attend it. but to kill off yet another part of car culture is another Notch in favour of governments who want to shut it all down. and make you all drive white base model camry

stop bad mouthing everything that doesn't fit your agenda, alienating current or future club members in the process ????

enormous amount's of money spent on cars stimulates this economy.... SA benefits locally and Australian business owners alike.

not sure what the Best Club Attitude award criteria was but ? you won anyway.

good to catch up with a bunch of you , looking forward to future shows, nationals, kadina, EHP, Riverlands,etc.

well done guys. was a fantastic display. good to see all that effort was rewarded with a trophy.

good to catch up with everyone that i talked to. will be seeing u all soon at up coming events

Congrats to everyone who entered and on winning the Best Club Attitude trophy. I think that says a lot about the leadership and members of SAU:SA and those of you who contributed in anyway to the display at Autosalon should be proud.

Whilst I have never entered a car show I can appreciate the time, effort and money that goes into presenting a car for something like Autosalon. Just getting each car clean enough is something that I respect. Well done guys.

No reason why yours isnt show worthy :worship: Should come to a rural show (hint hint)

Well done guys on the award! Cars look sweet as always! What number did you pull James? Were there any MASSIVE number dyno cars there?

I think Autosalon have to rethink the insanely exorbitant cost of putting your car in their show - it is highway robbery. Not only do we spend tons of $$ and time on cleaning, travelling, polishing, setting up etc, but then they want us to fork out 100s of $$ to enter our cars in a show that they CHARGE people to come see .... imho if they reduced the entry price to a less insane level they would get far more entrants and spectators alike, and generate more overall cash long-term. /my 2c

from the looks of the video that was posted in the youtube thread, Mr VLT made 577kw at the wheels... he was aiming for 600 tho

of course there were some 14 yr olds being interviewed...

"How much power can you make" "Well around 1000hp but I've detuned it to 700hp..."

twits

If i remember correctly that was Lucas (CESAR) talking about.....apparently he has cranked the 1000rwkw mark and had it detuned to 700 rwkw for some reason

Yeah that was the owner they interviewed. The others were just a joke as you could tell they were like 12 lol.

my bad- maybe his ride actually does have that kinda power (impressive but unless it was on the dyno id remain skeptical - did they publish dyno results anywhere?)

nfi why they interview the kids, tho the one with the breaking voice - that cracked me up

didnt see SAU in that video - kinda disappointing

-D

    • 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.
    • 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).
