yeh that WRX was fugly made 104awkw less than a stock WRX, it won like 8 awards dont know how, but the funniest was when it didnt win King of Auto Salon the owner went skitzo and was abusing the Cabin guys.  

Shan you still wanna start that Black man cult?  

Was great i didnt even have a car but i stole my bros Fangartist shirt and got in the group photo that was put up when we won the award. Was just me, Leewah, nigel, Shaun and Denham.

I loved how the crowd cheered when the wrx didnt win king of autosalon, coz we all thought it would. The Celica desirved it more even tho i dont think it ran on the dyno.

And also i wasent in the Fangartists photo coz i was cleaning the tyre black off my back tyres when my car was on the dyno when the photo was taken.

Carl was the other guy in the photo.

Yup - sure was! :) I think I've met you before yeah?

Re: the car - yeah it's a 3ltr with all the other bits and pieces.

Jet - Yep - tell me about it... And it was a 3$ hose clamp that caused the problem! :blah:

Cheers,

matt

matlowth... so that was you... I thought I

recognised your car sumwhere lol impressive run, so what do you have again a 3.0L RB?

An excellent weekend had by all.

Congrats on the dyno figures to all who competed.

FYI, it wasn't the dyno's fault it kept dying. After speaking to Sam, Nick and Damien (MAS organiser), it was MECC to blame as there were huge power surges going through the Shed which even the power surge thingys downstairs couldn't stop, hence blowing the dyno and the AutoSalon Hopper thingy's $3500 battery charger.

Must say I had a ball with all you there and I wonder whether we should start organising Sept now..... :)

As for the price tag on my car.... I'm not going to post a price on it at the mo. I have a figure in my head and the first person who offers it or more will get the car. When we go dragging next time (in the next month or so), if I break a 9, the price will be going up substantially so if you know someone who wants by pride and joy, for the right price, they can have it.

yaeh but but but....ok so you just defused my pisstake in one single post, i say boo to you :)

was a great weekend, the only dyno action i saw was the holden about to go on but the power died so just went back to sau stand

It was good to see real cars putting up awesome numbers at what appeared at first to be a RICE fest. SAU, Fangers and even MCCR get a huge thumbs up for a collection of good looking, street tough weapons. And the CRX posted a great figure as well, but I'll not mention it cos it's too embarassing to me.

Sux I missed Leewahs AWD run and James flames but I was summonsed to spend some time at home.

Maybe it can, maybe it can't. Power figures don't really mean anything to me. What is important is the timeslip
:werd:

Thats one of the best things i have heard in a while!!! :uh-huh:

Congrats 2 u all maybe one day my car will b able to join yas @ MAS!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
