mitch noted down some lap times, but the full results are not up that I can see:

chris: 1.37.585

noddy: 1.29.005

me: 1.26.644

stu: 1.22.898

Yes speedy results hey - I think mylaps look after the rules and the tintop trophies.

But must say was a great track - can't wait to have another crack at Irace next year.

Dropped 33 off to Advan on the way home, going link system and some more injectors.

Fuel pump brushes seem to be going fine, they have gotta outlast the OEM ones (4 months)

Bitta bad news with in car only got some practice laps.

Cheers

haha - that's pretty cool Chris!

I'm pretty happy considering I had no gear for the two low-80kph corners, Turn 2 and the T-Junction (AKA Stupid). 2nd was a bit too short, 3rd was a bit to tall. Did 1:28.1's either way. Stupid standard diff! That's the best excuse I can come up with anyway :thumbsup:

mylaps is officially ghey. just spent 10 minutes putting this together so we can see what car belongs to the name

  • 4 weeks later...

pics finally made it (by far the most expensive I have ever bought from a track day). OK pics although they don't really show the background much, could have been anywhere.

I've narrowed down when I scraped the wall....sometime between 10am....

MP-10am-no-scratches.jpg

and 2pm....

MP-2pm-scratches.jpg

in any case, I was taking it easy on saturday,

before finally having a go on sunday

No trophy, but it was a good fun event :D

Interesting pics tiger,,,looks like the right rear tyre is trying it's hardest to escape the rim. Nice work smashing those poor defencless ripple strips by the way,,,I'm proud of you.

Cheers

yeah, the tight bugger is charging $20 for proof sheets! That $20 is taken off the cost of any subsequent order. Eg a CD with all pics of your car from the event plus one 8x12" print as I've ordered is $85. He had 38 shots of my car from 4 different locations on the track - under the bridge, Siberia, Tee Junction (now aka Stupid) and the esses. The way he justified it was that many people just want to see how thier car looks on the track and don't order anything. So this way he at least gets a nominal fee for his work.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
