Wtf...2 of the boys I know got the grouping email but I haven't yet. I entered a week before them...what to do?

Hey Matt,

The email I got with the grouping has a phone number at the bottom. Try 5766 4235 and see if you can get through to Adam.

Cheers

Good times peeps :thumbsup:

Hey Jack...too embarrassed to run the emo under SAU were you ;) How did you find the emo compared to the real race car?

LOL, not at all mate, just happened to be good timing to attend this trackday at Winton...

Well what a day! Was worried about the weather but it turned out to be a nice sunny day, until the clouds came in at about 1pm and the temperature dropped considerably, rain held off though. Was good to catch up with Troy, Matt (femno) and crew, Martin (emts) and John (ssxRicho). Congrats to all as I'm sure everybody got a PB today.

Was quite anxious really to see how the Emo would go, especially since I've only driven it around the block near my house as it isn't registered, so today was a day to get out there and drive the car in anger for the first time. After spending quite a bit of time in the last 3 weeks getting the car ready it was time to see what it could do.

To say I'm impressed is an understatement. I was aiming just to get used to the car as I have never driven an Emo before, so would have been happy with a 1:38.

So to end up with a 1:35.5 I guess I could not ask for more, especially since the car has a standard motor with standard turbo running 219awkws on e85. I wanted to concentrate on the handling so some Tein Ra's were thrown at it together with a Whiteline rear sway bar. Setup the wheel alignment settings and heights and that's pretty much it. Got some 2 piece project mu used rotors and some new pads and the brakes didn't miss a beat all day.

In all seriousness for the money I've spent it's much better value than what I've spent on the GT-R. Emo's are highly under estimated and are a lot of fun around a track like Winton. I do suspect though at Sandown it won't come near the GT-R, power falls over after 6500rpm.

All in all a fantastic little car and look forward to seeing how far I can push it with current mods...

No doubt Winton is heaven for EVOs, but a good car punted well will be quick everywhere! They do look mint in silver, and to think it was havinga ew problems but was still so quick. Even with only 2L you put me into the shade :) But I was louder...thats all that is important

and with a damn nice note to boot Troy. Glad to see you actually got to enjoy the thing for the whole day.

Had a fantastic day taking 1s off my PB in the cars second outing. Admittedly i dont mind the RWD or lack of front wheel driving force :ninja:

Jack pulling that time in your first outing is just plain silly.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
