It was a pleasure for me to be one of several timers this morning and I certainly look forward to Pics & Vids as I'd prefer them to do the talking. :)

But let me relay to you the 3 things I could smell...

1) rubber

2) clutches &

3) testosterone ;)

Lol

Was great helping out. Timer equals front row seats so close I got hit with flying rubber every so often. Car of The day the drift spec 180 shredding the tire which tread was flown up and over the bonnet.

Massive thank you to the event organisers and officials who volunteered their time - made my first Texi experience very enjoyable. Got a couple of videos ready to upload but will wait for the wrap up thread. If anyone has other footage or high res pics of my white 32 GTR PLEASE PM me so I can arrange to acquire same.

Made a hasty departure when the weather arrived but picked up at least a dozen empty aluminium cans on my way out. Hope the clean up wasn't too massive.

Thanks so much for letting me and my taxi have so much fun. For my first attempt at anything like that I had a ball. Everyone was very welcoming of an odd Ford. I had no idea I could take so much tread off brand new tyres so quickly and still smile. It was very well organised and everyone was so nice. I do wish some other clubs were as efficient and friendly. Thanks again.

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
