you read the title tell us about your holiday. :)

where you stayed

places you saw

best place to watch the race (post pictures to please)

and your general experiences on your holiday, food, people, cost to stay/live there ect.

this saves us from trolling through a 100+ page f1 thread. ;)

I went to Morgan Park once, stayed a few nights.

That Duncan fella sure can snore. And those QLD folk are strange... They even let the wiggles go out racing...

Best viewing point... On top of the bridge for sure...

Cost to stay: I dunno. Too busy working on cars to count... :P

Las Vegas Exotics

Sadly I didn't do this but my cousin did. He drove 13 exotics for 5 laps each and was given incar and out of car footage. He loved the Aventador's speed but reckons the handling of the Superleggera and Scuderia were unbelievable! Would have the Turbo S as an everyday car!!

He has given me a new holdiay goal...

If you're in England at the beginning of July, check out The Festival of Speed at Goodwood. ' Track' is son of rajab March's driveway. (Heidfeld has the record in a F1). Event is over three days and I reckon you could easily spend 2 days there. The Best.

Some video I took in '09. 2012 is the 20th anniversary year, sorry I won't be there.

Edited by essay

I have been trying to make Goodwood but timing doesnt match up. Last year I was in the UK when they had the historic race meet and you get all dressed up in vintage clothes etc. Was going to go but my friend and his Mrs who were going with me pulled out...plus I was flying out the next day so I just hit the drink instead :whistling:

all my wakefield MRA race meets have been a boys weekend and been awesome! hahaha

also,

I did this on my honeymoon...I love my wife haha

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
