And BU5TER, the more things change, the more they stay the same. There are a heap of people still 'talkin' it up' that are yet to see a racetrack.

I have infinitely more respect for wreckedhead who talks it up and actually RACES than someone who gives him or anyone else sh1t and sits at home being a f^&*#ng keyboard warrior.

Jeeze Ad, chill out dude! You're startin' to get some serious attitude comin' across in these posts.

Bottom line... who cares what people say (or in this case type) walk the walk and there's no need to talk. You, wreckhead, buster and co are doin' the walkin'.

Cheers,

Matt

thanks buster and 2rismo, hope to see you both at the track, so we can talk about these keyboard warriors which were mentioned earlier. anyways as for

Did u get high off the fumes when u were pouring it into your tank??

god damn pouring is easy, but driving in the car on the freeway with the window open and cant close it casue aircon wastes all the C16, after i get out of the car i feel like ive been druged for the whole week. but its all good.

whatsisname, it's all good mate. I am just constantly tormented by people either:

a/ Talking sh1t and not backing it up

OR

b/ Posting on here without engaging their brains

That's all... :P

yeah i was there, my best was 11.5 @ 120mph, got the new clutch but couldnt get the take off right, doesnt matteri was running most on bp premium so im happy with that for now, when i get used to the launches ill try again.

Best of the night was 12.679 @ 114.71 mph.

The rest of the night was launch practice. Mental note, "Riding the clutch from 6500rpm is great for 1.9 60' times but 3rd gear doesn't work". hehehe...

Basically it's still a learning curve and I learned that 5500 launches ROCK! Was down on power the whole night. Will remove melty plugs and change for 8's before next week.

hey adrian did you watch my last run, from inside the car i felt like i was all over the road, backed off first gear casue i thoguht i was gonna go into the wall. sory had to leave right after that didnt have time to chat.

would be good if you got a in the car run.

I am considering this for next time. Need one of those camera mounts from the Group Buy section I think. Either that or gaffer tape my dvcam to the passenger headrest... lol

If anyone was paying close enough attention on Wednesday, did my car seem to lose traction at about half-3/4 track? Not necessarily wheelspin, more side to side in the tail end of the car. It felt very floaty at the top of 3rd that's for sure. Scary shit.

I was telling my wife to do the same thing with our camera.. I may make up a standard Skyline camera mount... :)

Nice run 2rismo,

i was driving the blue mx5 in one of your races, i pulled a 12.9 @ 106mph that run with pretty crappy tyres hence the shitty launcehs i was doing to prevent too much wheelspin.. Will be out again soon with my new 3" dump pipe/ebc and some stickier drag radiald, hoping to get mid to low 12's..

Anyway it was cool lining up with an r33 as i used to own one...

Take it easy and might run into ya again sometime..

Cheers,

Shmick_R33, The MX-5 looked like the driver was having fun :) Say hello next time!

Brent_r33, nice work with the 13.5. You should come say hi too! :O

DJ_L3ThAL, If you liked that pic, what about this one?!?!?

    • 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.
