lol your bro rarely goes to school?

Yeah, they badass. Wagging 4 lyf, yo. (My y12 motto 1/4 of the time, anyway xD).

Nah, it's only really if I'm free and for some reason my mum or dad can't take them. Considering it's in the opposite direction to both work and uni, it's never "on the way" :P

Haha can't wait to get out there but I need to get myself and the car ready!

I haven't had a car for a year so i feel like i'm learning how to drive again!

What do I need to do to get my car ready for track? Some things I have seen;

  1. fire extinguisher
  2. helmet
  3. mark battery location somehow???
  4. new brake pads for track use so I dont get brake fade after 2 laps?
  5. Engine oil cooling improved?

Help me get her ready so I can beat your asses on the track :P

ALSO I need a tune BADLY, running rich and getting <300km per tank anyone got any info for me? on price/contacts tips? Car has Apexi Power FC

I have some little thing which gives me readings between like 12.0 and 17.0 (rough estimates cant really see it while driving) is that the thing that is supposed to be hooked up to the O2 sensor? It's also my turbo timer. I have an Apexi Power FC.

I was looking at getting a wideband is that the same and/or better than an O2 sensor?

The guy I bought it off said it needed a tune, how can I tell if it's the O2 sensor or it just needs a tune or is it a case of needing both? I'm super noob i'm just learning now.

Should have an inner eastern suburbs meet up. Balwyn maccas br0s lol.

Honestly not sure if there are any exact ways to tell, but the engine light I'd assume could light up. The only way i knew it was mine was I put two and two together. Personally I don't know a lot about wideband, but there are some threads on it I'm sure.

Cams licence, properly mounted fire extinguisher, helmet & stickers then off you go

As for tuners. Chequered is closing soon so Racepace, Chasers Eastside, Sabbadin Automotive all of which will look after you and give you a discount if you are a financially paid SAU VIC member

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
