Just to confirm; What do you mean by "no air flow"? Do you mean because there arent long straights for air to get over your radiator?

If you have the standard viscous fan and are worried about heat, leave the car running after each run and the fan will be drawing a large amount of air over the radiator (a shroud is very useful here) after runs. Also you wont be making 270rwkw for the whole course. You're only making that when the boost is right up and your using full throttle. These courses are designed so that you dont have to use full throttle and in many cases it's faster to use less throttle and balance the car so it's ready for the next turn.

If your cooling system is totally stock, you'll be fine. There's regular entrants pushing more than 100rwkw on top of your figure and more boost without issues. Make sure you have the fluid full and no air bubbles in it, then enjoy!

Yeah look I think the best thing to do is to ring AASA and ask, thats going to get a much better result than us worrying about it on the day to be honest (which probably wasnt the best suggestion from me haha), the process is that after the day we send a cheque and all the application forms from the day direct to AASA, they then process them and send the actual license to the applicants direct in the mail.

It's never been an issue in the past, it could be something simple like lost in the mail - who knows! If they have a record of mailing it, tell them it never made it and to please send another. They shouldnt have an issue with that :)

Edit; yep slower is faster, damn right!!! Shame it isnt as fun though :D

Slower being faster I've always found way more fun then just sitting in the middle of a patch of concrete with my foot held down doing skids...

If anyone thinks it's not fun to run a quick time, get in the car with Reece and tell me whats more fun, doing a skid or going balls to the wall...

Unless you know your EXACT helmet size, you probably shouldn't buy your helmet online anyway... The helmet has to fit you properly with little to no movement for it to do its job.

I'd suggest going down to your local motorbike/motorsports accessories shop and let them know you have a budget, and ask them to help you find a helmet that you like and fits properly.

I got one I use for these days from Sydney City Motorcycles (google for locations near you). They have them all on display and you can try them on. Also prices were clearly marked to save time. Mine is open face, plain black and was about $80 from memory, fine for these days

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
