Yep. Was a great day - well done Andrew for setting it up.

Considering how many SA members there are it would be good to get

EVERYONE out for a blast one day. There are rarely any cop hassles &

we always have a great time. The Go-karts were good fun too.

Lets do it again sometime.

Cant wait to see the vids & pics.

Yeah i was gonna come but i forgot i had to work @ 3.....

Sounded like an awesome day wish i didn't have to work :D

Although i was thinkin about a late night cruise possibly in the next few weeks

maybe 9-10ish?

The cruise we went on friday night wasn't too bad, John and Erica wot did u think?

Needed something longer tho and so i was maybe thinking Gorge Rd (spelling?)

and through to Hahndorf?

Oh well next time i hope to be out but shall see wot happens

Yep Awesome day.

I had a ball.. G-karts are super fun.. my sides are a bit sore.. It was cool having other girls out there to race, (Mel, Rob's GF, timmmy) :D Cos i think we were all about the same skill level..haha unlike pawley, mattR diggity.. you are SAU speed demons who take no prisoners.

MADGT4, Friday nights cruise was kinda just a spur of the moment thing. But it was still good cos it was such a good night. I definately think they should be a more regular occurance.

I went down the road ( opposite way to where you left ) and took a right at the end of the street.

I was going along for ages ( 2km or so ) and I came across a slow car ( 40 on a 70 for while ), he/she pulled 3/4 off the road and that is where he/she stayed.

I overtook, didn’t go very hard cos I wasn’t in a hurry, just killing time, and the next thing I know there is a copper going hard in the rear view mirror.

He had to stop because there was a car coming towards him and he couldn’t get around because the other car wouldn’t pull all the way off the road.

Once he got past that he was still coming hard towards me still going hard, when I got to the end of the road I went right before the stream of traffic, I didn’t see him again.

Damn, cop! I didn’t do anything, perhaps someone called the cops after you lot exitited the car park and they where still in the area?

He didn’t do anything about the car that wouldn’t pull off the road when I was around, maybe he did once I left.

He never had his lights or sirens on but was flogging his car to pieces, I have no idea what his problem was.

What time did you lot leave?

sorry i had to piss off early.. had other commitments to attend to.

gokarts was wicked fun. and erica im not a girl. Rob how'd u score the kart that went the fastest everytime??? bastard :D

thanks for organising it andrew I had a great time.

lunch was pretty respectable too!!

Tim

You're welcome guys .... :D .... so when is the next event?

Suggestions so far are:

1. paintballing

2. jet skiing

3. water-skiing

4. wine tour

What does everyone think? Any other ideas?

Yeah was a good day. I was feeling a little too seedy to get my fat ass in a Go Kart However ....there's always next time.

Vid looks good too. My car looks SLOW!!! but I guess every1 says that :D (About their own cars ..not mine ..well I hope!)

Maybe next time we can goto a different pub though ...As we went to the same one last SAU cruise ??

Was good to catch up with some of you girls again too (Mel, Erica & Tim) :)

    • 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.
