Now my car goes, i can enter. Entries close 8pm tomorrow.

So scrutineering starts at 730 am,

If its got a good mount, yeah. Thats what mines lacking. Duct tape wont pass.

Gus, it was $1890 fitted, with some, not all, new bearings and seals.

Fk i love these wheels!

:D

Man... Car looks Awesome! :woot: Amazing what Some wheels can do.

I take it that it is driving better now with wheels / diff etc?

Cam has a sucky cup and will likely stick to a clean panel but certainly sticks to the inside windscreen Very Well.

So what time are you getting there? 7:00 - 7:30? I can do that. (starting work at 5am lately so 7 is nothing)

ill be there at 730

but i have to enter first, ill make sure to tell you if i get in or not. :thumbsup:

Ive only just done the figure 8s as instructed to get oil through the clutches, it feels weird, i havent driven it for 2 weeks.

A few more drives and ill see how good it is, my technique is to work your way up to it gradually, and you wont stack.

Spent the day replacing the last few old, dried and cracked joiners for the turbo outlet and crossover pipe and replaced the low pressure power steering lines.

Half the day was spent driving around northside to a few transmission places to try and track down some 5/8 trans hose, ended up having to go out to enzed in fyshwick to get it. I think i have fixed more issues on my car since it's been off the road for the last few months than I have the whole 2 years I have owned it.

Wow... that diff is good!

Very hard to break traction now, the federal rsr help too.

Now i can use more power!

BUT it stinks of fuel, somewhere from the back, better fix it before it bursts into flames.

fuel tank is out, pretty easy to do

heaps of dust and crap all over it

Looks like the leaks are from the filler or the vent line or the filler overflow line.

anyway all hoses are being replaced and ill have a look at the filler tube gasket.

a fresh coat of tar underneath would be good too

If i turn up for scrutineering reeking of fuel, illl fail for sure.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
