Cut the man some slack, i can think of a few other builds that have taken longer. As i always believe, if you have to wait for something and the end product is exactly as requested or better, its worth the wait.

 

Also, hurry up carnt. I wanna see my predictions come to fruition

My bad only 5.5 monthS

f**k yea time for a tune I say

 

 

ps if you are paying for this service I would find somewhere else to get it done as even this is giving me the shits

It's been ages but in all seriousness, it's given me time to fund it all. I got over being a pest and giving deadlines years ago. They never happen and just piss me off. I really couldn't give a shit when it's done to be honest.

Headed out there yesterday to pick up my dead starter motor. Greg made up a bracket for the pre throttle/post throttle MAP sensors. Almost looks factory! Sneaky fuel pressure sensor hanging out too.

Scott was tuning a WRX last night to clear today for my mcnug. Petrol tune first, cap to pressure at 20 psi. That will be more than enough for "commuter fuel".

Best attitude to have for a project car. Avoids a lot of hurt feels.

yeah it does, but then you get depressed because people stop asking about your project car because it has fallen into myth status and every year less and less is accomplished on the build

Suppppper early days. Scotty mapped the gearbox, the thing shifts like silk. It ain't spewing oil out either which is good! Got a misfire on cylinder 5, will look into that tomorrow.

18 psi by 3700 ish RPM on petrol with cams set at 0/0.

V cam looks like it would have been a waste of time. Scott can get it to surge at 2500 RPM. Need a 9180 ?.

25 kw behind at 3700 rpm compared to my full effort -5 E85 run.... on petrol... with a misfire.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
