'We' means you in English. 'Wewe' is to sing the Swahili word for you. So you just sang.... "you homosexual man" Either that or you said "you you homosexual man" You've got a stutter :D

Ah, that what I said Matt. A chick rolled a torana & it was spinning on its roof thru the traps - IN PERTH, ON SAT NIGHT. Thats why I mentioned it, cause a similar thing happened in Adelaide on the same night.

BTW - Cheeky is a 'sweet ass' not a 'bad ass'

Yep cool, gotcha mate :D I was 99.99% sure that's what you meant.

I'd be interested to know how the female driver of the Torrie that crashed whilst running against me has faired? I certainly won't be forgetting the image of her car spinning through the air as I drove past!

I'm staying right out of this whole 'ass' thing :D

nah, they didnt. kier was just running in new engine and the clutch on theo's car was just starting to slip. Auto box going in.

hey Matt, you going out on wednesday? ill be out there to get some times down

I'm toying with the idea of bolting on slicks, just to see the full potential of the car. If I don't go with slicks then I'll be out there as a spectator only. I've ran at the last 4 meets! I feel like watching for a change.

why dont ya stick with what you're running if you dont feel you are happy with the package, not so much cos of what the cars doing, but you're own driving?? anywhere you can improve in you're book on the current package?

no doubt you can go faster with slicks but thats cheating :P

I know there's plenty left in the car on street tyres, both in ET and MPH, but it'd be nice to see just how quick it can go on slicks. And with the new SAU 'slicks' and 'non-slicks' classes it wouldn't be a pointless exercise.

I've had a heap of people suggesting I give slicks a shot, even if for just one meet. Most of them are old school drag racers hence they don't see why I wouldn't want to go with slicks.

I can go faster by winding the boost up more (still have at least another 3-4psi up my sleeve) and I could stop my BOV from leaking so that the boost holds up top. Currently the BOV cracks open above 20psi.

go for the slicks matt, just to see the difference, our cars dont have the full auto/high stall so they cant take the full advantage but with traction you can get a good time to show your power, i know i will go streight for some et streets or similar once my car is done to try and get some decent times.

For the drags just remove the bov and put a plate over the hole, just for some fun.

Lets look at the idea of using slicks at AIR.

Its a drag track? (yes) Slick is a drag tyre? (yes) You are drag racing (yes)

Only am imbecile would consider using a slick cheating. Bit like getting accussed of same for using a pool cue in a game of eight ball, when you could poke the balls around quite well with your finger.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
