yeah Joel .... pretty much every time I've been tye have made me empty my overflow bottle. Last Wed they even advised me to tape up the overflow slot at the top of bottle in case it filled up and overflowed. As you can see they are HELLA paranoid about water on the track!!

Hey Andy, I've been taping my overflow outlet with race tape (Airframe tape - RAAF stuff) for the last few meets. Keeps 'em happy no prob's. That's with the bottle to the full mark as well!

They're fairly particular with certain areas Joel. Below is what they always check on my car:

Wheel nuts - Must be exposed. I've got threaded alloy centres on my Volks that they make me take off, even though they get done up tight as hell (via a Volk spanner) I still have to remove them whilst racing so they can see the wheel nuts!

Helmet - ADR compliant. A basic ADR certified helmet is less than $100, I think I paid $80 on special.

Battery - Is secure. I have to drop the rear boot trim for them to see it.

Coolant overflow - Is either empty or blocked, to prevent leakage onto the track.

No obvious leaks - engine, diff, radiator etc... If it isn't dripping out and it's cleaned before hand, you WON'T have a problem.

Seats/belts - They in working order/bolted in securely.

Lights - They checked my brake lights the other night!?

Tyres - Aren't totally shot and about to blow!

There's a few other minor things, but basically as long as nothing is obviously a potential hazard then you'll be ready to run :D

What lunatics were sliding all over the place? :D On the footage that Andy burnt for me the other arvo you can hear the wheels spinning/squealing over the entire pass, not just on each gear change but the whole way down the strip, even in 4th. That was on the 12.6 pass too. It's not as bad on a regular street meet but I have had 2nd and 3rd let go a few times.

doglet, I bought my helmet from Revolution Racegear on Main North Rd.

AIR don't appear to have a site anymore? If you keep an eye on www.fullboost.com.au you see the upcoming AIR events.

Joel, you soon will have traction issues mate :(

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
