Thanks again for the lift there Robbie :thumbsup:

all good mate, sorry we had to bail early, but the girls were getting cold.

good to meet you and luke, i might have to meet some more faces @ the dyno day.

Any chance you have a spare motive dvd abe, ruby couldn't make it and he was supposed to be bringing me a copy :thumbsup:

I most certainly do, got 1 left out of the few I was given but Shane still has a few more left. $15 and it is yours, will have to organize a time to meet up.

1. Sebastian Lip (by default)

2. Someone in a Porsche Turbo S

3. Tristan Catford (clipped cone in final round +5sec penalty)

from what I heard/understand.

Our own Matty T came in 19th in the end, a very good job on his first hill climb, and especially after just getting the car back 1-2days before the event clapo.gif

So ... an SAU-SA club member won the Mt Alma Mile? :thumbsup:

Just a word of advice, you dont win an event like Alma by 'default'

Seb won because he was bloody fast all day and run 4 x 44 second runs. That is much easier to say than it is to do :)

What a awesome day, besides getting burnt :(

RH9 absolutely porno sounding car 3some.gif

Catford was pretty fast, just a shame he tapped a cone on that last run :(

Well done to Seb tho, car seems to be going great. thumbsup.gif

Look forward to joining you guys on the mt in the near future.

Was stoked how well i went this weekend, wasnt expecting to be anywhere near the "pointy end" of the rankings

Also a cheers to Dale and the boys for coming over and helping when i couldnt get it in gear.....that was an odd occasion thats for sure

Looking forward to the next round of the AWDTC and also secretly looking forward to the 'mile next year too :P

That is true, when I was told the results by someone else, that was the words that were used, so not knowing of what else to write, used the same.

+ 100

Thats fine, no problems, what I want to say is -

Congrats to the 3 Willall Racing cars and drivers in the Top 6 and of course P1 overall - all customers, all fast, all 100% reliable

Andrews R32 is a weapon, and Gavins EVO X shows exactly what can be done with an 'automatic Lancer'

King of the hill and P1 for Willall Racing though was Seb in his R35 GTR, a fantastic drive for a first timer in a fantastic car, cool under pressure. As good as it gets.

Kudos to Tristan, hitting a cone is gutting, but nonetheless part of the sport. Great drive.

Anyone have some times of the top contenders that they'd care to post up please?

LOL at Martin's description of Gav's ride.........."Automatic Lancer". :rofl2:

Why don't you just call it a hairdresser's car......as you can see, I've been to the hairdressers one time too many :sleep:

How do the top 3 placings work? Is is the top 3 times from the weekend or do the times get wiped from the weekend once the cars go into the top 12 shoot out etc and the timing then starts again?

Sudden death is the format

You need to make the 12 to get into the shootout, then turn it on from there :)

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
