Hi Guys,

The last Motorkhana we ran seemed to be a great success!

SO we are deciding whether we hold another 1/2 day Motorkhana on either the 21s or 22nd of April. For hire of the facilities, we need to pay the total hire charge up front. It is a significant cost to the club and we need to know that if we make the commitment to hire, that we will have people attend!

The Day will be run as per the last one and at this point is open to 25 cars. The price will be $80 for members and $110 for non-members.

keen as mustard.

Just wondering why it's so much more then last time, as well as where would it be held?

We are looking to hold it at Queensland Raceway again. Last time the QR management gave us access to the facilities at a greatly discounted price as it was our first motorkhana event and run as an introduction to Motorkhana's.

This time we have to pay full price for use of the facilities and for insurances. So, unfortunately, we have to raise entry prices to cover our costs as a club. This is also the reason we have a minimum number of entrants, so we can continue to put on great events!

as above.

still keen to go none the less!

|Hope that answers your questions!

As long as I am not working I am keen! Although that weekend I think I will be because I have the following weekend off to move the rest of my stuff up from Canberra, I'll find out tomorrow... NSW and ACT Motorkhanas we need CAMS licence to participate, need it for this? If we do I need to renew mine... :)

Guys, WE ARE GO!

I got confirmation today for Sunday morning.

The Motorkhana will be held at Queensland Raceway.

Be there at 8.15 for an 8.30am start. We will have a target finish time of 12.30pm, but have been given use of the back track/skid pan 'until we are finished'.

For all entrants, please be aware that you will need to fill in an entry form, make payment, sign in and cars WILL be scrutineered for basic safety items, as per our last day, so PLEASE be on time.

All these things take up time and the longer you make us wait, the less time we have to have for fun on the pan.

P - Platers are welcome. Full lincenced drivers are welcome. People who have 1 point are welcome. Drivers on good behavior bonds are welcome. Oldies are welcome as long as the don't have a caravan in tow and sit in the right hand lane doing 90...

Passengers are welcome but helmets will need to be worn by both the Driver and Passenger. Spectators are welcome and encouraged to volunteer with starting/timing and cone retrieval.

If you have any questions about the day please feel free to contact me on 0421 973 558. If you are running late, please let me know before 8.15. If your mate who's entering is running late and you know, let me know, etc.

Having said all that, let's get out there and have some fun!!

    • 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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
