Ok, as requested by pat, gonna do a cruise down to sutton rd for texi.

Date: 19/5/12

Meet: cross roads KFC

Time: 5:30pm

Leave: 6pm

Cross roads KFC is pretty central, then hit the highway, and cruise on down.

Please note, NO stupid behavior.

That's why were going to sutton.

Let me know if you're coming.

And we will leave pretty much on the dot.

Hope to see you there, cheers, Luke.

haha thanks Luke, yeah i was going to do one but i had a lunch date to rush to so was leaving it to...well now.

Any chance i can ask one more favour? a GPS address for this KFC so i can just punch it in and forget about it, are we sure we want to time the exit with peak hour? no chance of a lunch or mid afternoon escape so we can get out there in time for dinner? Or are you hankering for some fried chicken as road dinner...

pwned by Shell yet again!

yeah i didnt realise that 'crossroads' was actually a legit name for a place, figured it was just some kind of in house shorthand for somewhere i was clueless about..thanks for doing the legwork for me though :)

See you on the saturday i guess!

sorry guys, i did mean the 18th, realised, but was already back to work(wrote up at lunch).

unfortunately, the wife has to work.

im putting in for an annual leave day, otherwise, i dont get home until 6.....

in regards to peak hour, its more on the tail end of the traffic congestion, so just pray its not too bad.

either way, im quite content to head down with just bthe missus, but also wouldnt mind others cruising with.

just hope its not raining...

facebook event was a good call, gf wont finish till 5 and thats in balmain..what are the chances of making it to the crossroads by 615?

(she has no sickies left..farken)

i know sweet F all right? still could be worth a shot..

is dave the only one leaving earlier?

Maybe get her to ask her boss nicely if she can leave an hour or 2 early.

I don't know what she does, but would it be possible to start a little early, so she can leave early?

Hope something can be organised.

Looks like I might be the only one leaving early Patty, the way I see it is I'd rather get down there at a reasonable hour, get settled, have a feed and a few bevvies then get to bed at a resonable hour.

I must be getting old :(

yeah i get your logic dave and would definitely be in the same boat (33 now arrrgh) except for the womans problems..typical eh?

she is prevaricating about coming anyway so depending on what goes down before next friday i might see you on the way there after all..

I will be leaving West Ryde area circa 2:30pm on Friday 18 May, hoping for a cruisey drive and 5:30-6pm arrival at Eagle Farm Hawk Caravan Park thingo with beer in hand shortly thereafter. Might see you on the Hume Dave074?!

I can guarantee I'll be sitting on the deck, feet up with brews in hand by then haha. I'm going down through the day too, if you want to tag along then cool

More than one brew at a time...excellent. By then I will have been (self imposed) 5 weeks off the grog so VERY thirsty.

what time and from where are you leaving Steveo?

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
