1/8th mile (like the other meetings held there), and yes it is timed and you will get time slips after each run. there is also a chance to run dial your own against your friends. will confirm maximum numbers soon

its both Steve, two lanes.

Dial your own racing is very fair. it provides close competitive racing at a level you nominate (your quickest ET).

The slowest car out of the pairing will always leave first, and then the faster car will have to catch up once they are able to leave the line.

An ET is your time that it takes from when you leave at the staging lights, to when you cross the beams at the finish line. For street cars for this event, the quickest you will be able to run will be a 7.70, and for ANDRA Super Street Licence holders their time is a 7.00. This is over the eighth mile.

7.7 what? just run 3/4 throttle ?:laugh:

:rofl:

jeturbo if you have nothing constructive to say can you please refrain from commenting.

Easy now, he was just having a bit of fun :) Only problem I see is Mt Alma is on that weekend, you may lose a few interested parties

my other half runs a 10.5 in his street VY..........jeturbo has a little bit of catching up to do.

but anyway im not arguing about this. if he is as good as what he says he is then he should come and prove it. and support the day in raising money for kids cancer.

It does matter that its 1/8.

Regardless ill be at alma, closing off public roads for some fun sounds like my kind of weekend

I think you know there's a massssive group waiting for off street 1/4 at AIR which is only months away

thats fine josh but at least this event puts money to a much needed organisation rather than someones pocket. and you will find a few of those cars will make there way up to tailem anyway.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
