RB20 comes through with the goods;

Now, if anyone is missing this, it's in the club trailer and can be picked up at the next Texi (Dates for 2012 TBA). If it's not collected within 2 Texi's (so, 6 months) we will assume it's not wanted and put it in the bin

Thanks everyone, you've earned yourself a free Texi :) (If i missed anyone, please come forward)

Also Thankyou to those entrants and spectators who helped clean up the skidpan after runs ended - that saved the officials a LONG time :D

thanks for a good day out. Extra thanks to the officials for hanging around in the heat. Looked like a hard life sitting at the gate with a beer :thumbsup:

Now the anxious wait for pics and videos..

Loved the RENEW Prez vs SAU Prez runs mate, that was great watching :D

When Don is at one next time we can have Ex RENEW Prez vs Ex SAUNSW Prez haha then repeat the current Prez vs current Prez

Your 1J effort certainly makes a convincing argument :D

And I keep telling him to get a 2JZ!

And I have to say, epic thanks to those of you kind enough (read dumb enough) to let me take your car for a spin... As Eric has said... I must be the texi whore... Lol

Time to go finish building my car and bring it out!

Awesome day guys, to the organisers and volunteers you are legends! Every Texi I go to I leave wondering how I managed to have SO MUCH FUN. :worship:

Great car number - thanks Ben!

But not as impressive as the RB20. Turned it into a motorbike tyre!

That was a great idea Steve, I'll try to drag don along next time. Had a lot of fun and to finish close to Eric's GTR is a good result for the humble FC. Thanks Eric for the run, and rerun when i changed back to normal wheels. Battling is way better on rubber with tread :teehee:

    • 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.
