WOOHHOOOOOOOO The HAC grass motorkhana is on like Donkey Kong! (and i can't wait!!)

These grass motorkhana are brilliant, so much fun and very easy on your car.... but your memory will suffer. :P

So this time it's out in Lardner Park in Warragul. About a hour east of the Melbourne CBD.

Google map search "Lardner park" to see how far it's from you. A meet up and cruise out could be easily sorted.

Ok, here's the details that i got emailed about the HAC motorkhana. The supp regs are now online and ready for download.

Here,

So from a brief read, you'll need the following.

$25 to enter the event

A CAMS 2NS (non speed) license, = $57. License details here - CAMS 2NS License

Helmet to AS standards.

And SAU Membership ;)

Now I am as keen as mustard for this event!!! My entry is already filled in and will be sent off by the end of this week. I've never actually been to this place of motorkhana fun, but a google map lookup reveals nothing but grass. Maybe mudflaps would be needed, but i can't imagine any, if not no damage to your car. LSD rear ends really could tear some shit up!!!! :banana: :banana:

So who's in??

I'm quite happy to help anyone for any details, so PM me or ask away.

I'm entering the EVO in AWD class, but RWD is looking good for Skylines. At a best guess RWD Skylines would be up against Commondoors and ChookTins (Falcans), and we all know how shit they are.

And a pic from the last HAC motorkhana @ Moorabbin that I attended... (in a $1200, single spinner Falcon)

And yes last time i got beat overall by a $400 Pugeot :verymad:

Over winter there's one or two a month, but on grass the weather often cause them to be cancelled.

There's another one on grass on the 25th of November in Pakanham. I'm also attending that one. For $15 entry, it's a fun cheap day out.

I can post up the 25th of November one's details if anyone wants them. :)

Ok the event is done and dusted, and i tried to do SAU proud!

Out of 47 cars i placed 37th. With a custom built motorkhana car, powered by Honda, winning outright, and 2nd was a bog stock Mazda 121 bubble car!

I came 3rd in in class. But the AWD's really got their arse handed to them by the FWD division. And yeah there were a few RWD commondoors, and they did'nt run to well.

The course was very tight, and the grass was freshly cut and EXTREMLY slippery.

Oh and i did win 4points for SAU!!! (yeah the Peugoet club got 32 points for the day, but they were all FWD, and had no big power slides!!! IMO i won on 'Style points' )

Quick pic. Vids are to come

Oh one vid....

Shit, just realised it's on tomorrow and I haven't put in CAMS licence application in... That'll teach me for being lazy!

Have fun guys, I shall keep an eye out for future events.

Yesterday was awesome! Longinus (Oscar) and I went along. The Surface was medium length grass with the odd cow pat :whistling: (which are very slippery!) Everyone there was super friendly and it was a very relaxed event.

Had an absolute blast...this course was'nt as tight and the EVO got to stretch her legs and I went alot better. I'm still waiting on results.

Here's the Vids.....

It was so much fun going out there and attempting the slalom courses and testing the car's ability on cornering was a blast - especially when AGE gave me a session on how to do the handbrake turns, that was really fun! haha

My photos are here

Have slow internet, but videos will go up slowly.

Will definitely jump on the next one of these events! :D

Thanks to Adrian for a great day out

Super awesome vid there Oscar!! Thank mate.

I've got more photos and vids, and as soon as the laptop arrives I'll get em up.

I got the results .... We left after 4 tracks out of 10 , so we are in the tail end, but next time hopefully we can bring home more points for SAU!!!!!

I think the next one is in Feb, and I'll post it up as soon as I know.

In the meantime, buy some mudflaps and practice those handbrake turns ;)

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
