lol nice! he had a fair crack in that FC though, that thing looked like it had no traction all day haha

I had 4 bad tyres on. Previously ive just swapped off the rears and it worked well. This time i had no front grip and locked up if i thought about breaking. Still had fun doing skids.

Protip: keep reasonable front tyres on when going to texi.

And finally i get footage of my car spitting fire - around 1:03 for those playing at home. Thats made my day Eric :banana:

hhahah thats a good idea

any news on the car?

On my car?

I lost second gear synchro and my catch can filled up and put some oil through to the intake..... But other than that she ran very well, she kept all the cheater cars honest

Whoever owned that WRX, champ of a bloke, and a bloody good driver! In the second video I'm glad you got the launch of thr GTR. That appears like the second time l battle you I think where I didn't botch the launch... Lol

I got the vid of me frying my tyres but its actually quite boring. So unless some people actually want to see it I won't bother uploading it. My Gopro stuffed up too so all my vids have the sound out by like half a second. Really annoying!

Thanks to the organisers. I would've liked to stay around and help clean up but had to take my mate home because he had work that night.

Good fun. But kiddies don't do what i did and keep going after you've shredded your tyres. Doesn't work out too well.

Paint damage to rear quarter panels happened to 2 cars when the tread body tore away from the carcass, little steel wires in the belts do a bit of scratching!

We may look into some sort of plastic adhesive protective wrap to put over rear guards etc for a little coin, if you wish to really punish the tyres on the course....

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
