Ok - just joined iRacing on the weekend. I currently suck ass but that's ok.

When's the next race? I'm in.

Seen and added you this morning, welcome to the series and hope you have fun :)

As other drivers have already started next race is tomorrow 8pm start and the 'Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca'. Awesome track and racing there should be fun!

Being new to iRacing if there is anything like tips or setup advice feel free to ask away, I'm sure one of us will be able to come up with an answer for what your looking for :)

So its on tomorrow night for round 2 at Laguna Seca, and who doesn't love driving this track?! With a multi-story drop at the corkscrew this track can really put a driver to the test, and having plenty of places for overtaking choice of car may be the decider in this round... So get your practice on and see you at the track tomorrow night! :)

Grabbed a 3mth account last night after seeing snowy curse at some "MX5", turns out he was right. I suck bad, but still spent 2hrs trying to get consecutive laps without farking up in that damn car. Using a DFGT which seems fine with the logitech settings around the web but I'm thinking if I actually get decent, this stupid game is gonna get expensive.

Hehe yes, how do you make that bloody MX5 not suck?

Best solution for this race series is to use the SCAA - it's far less of the death trap. lol

Any word on if I'm running late on whether I can still join in at say 8:30 or something presuming the actual race hasn't started yet? Not sure on the protocols as to whether you can skip practice and quali?

Practice starts in 20mins. Practice runs for 50mins so if you turn up at 8:30 there will still be time to run a few laps before the qualifying session :)

Saw and added you miniwog (your Mr. Burns right?), welcome to the series! :) One tip I can give. When in game go into the 'Options' and where it says 'Force factor:' under 'Brakes' is where you want to have a play, can really improve braking when you get the setting that yours for you. Hope it helps a bit :)

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
