Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

thats quite the collection Ants, very impressive!

thanks mate. but really thats nothing. I have my HP (Highland Park collection) which is amazing and I have bottles of scotch stashed in most cupboards in the house.

I will post a pic of the HP collections soon.

well its Macallan mate. She's like the Nike of single malts its very good stuff but I find the price hard to justify.

Its why in fact Macallan went down the path of introducing the fine oak range because production costs are lower using american oak barrels (bourbon) rather than sherry oak barrels, however even their 18yo was like $189 IIRC.

My thoughts are as follows:

Fine oak - cheaper than Sherry oak and is very fruity, makes your mouth water / dry and then releases beautiful flavors like vanilla, raisins and fudge

Sherry oak - very exy but my favorite but caramel galore. Could really go without that artificial coloring IMO but the tastes - at first its very spicy, but after you have drank a dram you get the following flavours, burnt cookie / creme caramel, spices like cardamin, orange peel and a hint of wooden smoke - truly amazing mate.

you can make your own recommendation but I think you know what to go for now.

Thanks mate. Definitely know now what to get now. Johnnie Red. :P

I haven't had scotch for ages, I am in my beer phase at the moment, I go on runs where i get the same thing over and over, though I am sure with winter closing in spirits might be back on the menu

same. I take my beer and jagermeister on hot days (put the jager in the freezer)

in winter I crack the whisky open ;)

I have a new favourite whiskey in the cheap range. .. and it's bourbon :0 never thought I would say that.

hmmmmmmmmmm...........yeah not a fan of bourbon eh..........but can be good mixed I guess.

I am not really into it either! But this one is nice, mixed of course! Its Blantons Bourbon, and it really shocked me.

may try one day. but first I have to finish what I already have.

Fair enough bro

If you wish to measure performane from happy laps knock yourself out! Your car is 1000 times faster at Happy Laps than mine, I think I am yet to use full throttle at one based on the fact in my view is neither the time or place.

once crank trigger and tune done and a bit of TLC to suspension the unicorn will be a weapon on track IMO

Woohoo I win :D

sweet, thanks! I plan on doing a flex set up at some point too,

Something i've thought a bit about, however in the end I realized that in 3 years I never took my car far enough that I wouldn't be in range of either caltex/united fuel at their current locations.

Assuming you could get around well enough off boost using one when tuned with the other, I could have theoretically done it all on E85, so in 6-12 months I think i'll just get E85 done on the nistune and not worry about the expensive of a flex setup.

If you have a decent ecu the only extra expense is a flex sensor and a few hours on a dyno

    • 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.
