Erm... Actually you'll find more cars are written off at a club level drag racing than circuit racing...

got proof or stats to back that up Marie? If not.......

shut up Marie :P

Been thinking about this ECU BS! I'm gonna call Haltech tomorrow to see if they have recieved it from EFI / Sean. I'm preying it will be there...........cause if not........ well I think I will fkn explode of ape shitnness!

If they spoke with you today, it could still be in transit.

Well from Drag days (Street cars) I've been at, it's been 2 from 2 crashing.

Been to many many many more circuit days, and only seen 3 cars crash at the circuit. 2 of those involved proper race cars, not street driven ones.

That tells me enough :P

But not 100% stats, but from what I've seen even watching our own motor sport section from guys club level racing with street cars. More damage drag racing, whether it be into walls, or things assploding and destroying panels.

I'm the reverse. I've seen more people crash at circuit level than at drags. And I've been to many many many many many many drag days including even private ones with my old boss.

Having said that I've only seen a handful of circuit days but unfortunately each one I went to cars were mega banged up!

Note to self, don't go to a circuit day that Ants attends. That way my car won't crash

stay away from open flames unless you want to pretend to be from harry potter

I survived YAYYYY!!!! I wasn't even game to open the oven, then I went oh hey that finger has no nail polish on it, taste tested the mashed potato and wanted to die because I had spilled nail polish remover on that finger also BLERH!!!!

Sup all?

Got to drive Zane's car to the mall, it's like a special treat when he hands me the keys I must have been well behaved yay! :laugh:

Did you drug him? You totally drugged him, hence why you have his keys...

Yeah, was just thinking the same... Maybe this is why his tuner has kept his car? So he can't take it to track days and make others crash...

could be. I seem to have VERY positive influence on others :P

I have an ecu you can use too if needed. Hopfully a quick firmware update and you are good.

Welcome officially to the modified gtr club. You only get in after your first heartbreaking build!

so, im part of the club?

thanks.

You sent an ECU to Heltech? Oh god I hope they aren't as bad as they used to be. I know a couple of people (club members) who sent gear to Haltech for repairs/trouble shooting. Their response? "We don't support that model ECU anymore." and then they drilled a hole right through it. These were previous model ECU's as well, not some ancient rubbish but stuff maybe a year out of date.

I think he has spoken to them about the drilling issue and they said if they receive it they won't drill it...

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
