guy that bought my car recons the clutch was fried... lol that thing was 100% when I put it back in with the new motor, it then did maybe 3500km tops...

so the clutch was fried and he still managed to wreck it....sounds like a twat...

How much power you running in the Stagea?

You could borrow my spare set?

Not much at all, prob around 170-180awdkw at most i think but wanting splitfires or OEM so I don't have to replace it in the future when I get more power.

How old is the spare set? Condition?

Buy from perfect run, use gaffa tape for now lol

Will call perfect run, won't rely on gaffa tape lol

Hang on...you're bragging about how few of you got laid on a Contiki tour? :unsure:

bragging?

There were a few couples, and even more werent single ie. left their partner at home. Average age was like 28-29. At least 5 were over 30 which was surprising.

How is that needing them asap?

he either rode the clutch pretty hard for a few days till he wrecked it, or they both happened at the same time...

yeah riding it was my first thought too but sheeet...it wouldn't burn out that quick

so is a dead clutch his excuse for wrecking it?..

 

thats fine for your own motorbike,,,but its useless for track days,, they check the for the sticker,,,also when you come off and crack your head open like an egg you might have a hard time sueing them,,,,and there is good money to be made sueing them...

I know of 2 people with payouts in excess of 300k ;)

personally ,its not something I would mess with for the sake of a few bucks...

 

A shoei is a Shoei, so from a safety point of view there is no argument to be made. It's the same helmet, only Australia charges a ridiculous premium for a test inferior to the tests passed overseas, and a sticker. A sticker which can be purchased for $30.

Perfect run, $429.01 + postage.... anyone know if perfect run is reliable with their warranty?

How is that needing them asap?


Hoping to get them by this week or next and just incase they weren't my problem from missfiring then I'll have some time to fiddle around before deca. Plus I won't have much time to work it out after next week.

It was a button clutch, if u ride them they wear out very quickly..

 

contiki tour = overpriced brothel

 

Agree.

Travel thru europe is piss easy now (thanks to Schengen Agreement/Euros currency).

Parents did contiki many moons ago only cause the Schengen agreement didn't exist back then and went over there 2 1/2 years ago and told me not to bother with contiki tour.

If you want to meet people, do it on pub crawls, job done.

You can just borrow them for DECA till you get your new ones sorted

There off a well looked after motor at around 100,000kms

Changing coil packs is easy takes 5mins. (That's if you have your neo cover and valley cover off) Which I did so it could slightly reduce engine temps

    • 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.
