Hmm, maybe I should enter the beast. Should be run in by then. With Reece, Liz, me and prob Dave we just need Cassbo to make it a reunion tour!

I think people might be getting too concerned about the change. As I understand it the clarification was that this is a motorkhana, not a drift event. So if you go out to link the whole course and

To confirm the changes,

I am quite concerned actually, as all I have been doing over the last two texi events were skids and linking corners. How strict will these rules apply to suppress ‘induced power sliding’?

Sliding the rear end of the car around the cones, is acceptable. If it turns into drifting or burnouts then it become not acceptable.

As Duncan said, the rules are just a clarification of a motorkhana event. Insurance has asked us to reinforce those rules.

The first post will be modified with the changes.

Yeah it's not that easy to follow all the cones and course at speed

Sometimes it gets abit out of control and you end up spinning and frustrated and smoke it up alil

If that's not on might have to cancel

How strict are you's on it

3 warnings and no more or just get told to take it easy

Smoking the tyres to get to the next gate quickly is fine. Smoke until you can't see your car, not ok.

We can only run these events while we are insured by AASA. We don't make these rules, they do.

If you are clearly breaking the rules we will give you a couple of warnings. If the clerk of course feels that you've been warned and continue they we can ask you to leave. It is all about us keeping our insurance rating so we can continue to hold these events.

Fingers crossed, the motorsport gods have been angry and thus I have not had any car fun lately, if all goes well and the stars align I shall be there with bells on.

And its OK for the skids from this end as the MX5 cannot do epic helis.

^^^What Eric says.

MX-5's do a fantastic job at this event; good car control and a level head is the way to win.

A texi is a technical car challenge, using your memory, an intimate understanding of your car's strengths and weaknesses. Any idiot can chuck a mad skid (see any episode of ACA for further details), only a talented DRIVER can master the texi.

No one is saying that you have to drive like Miss Daisy, but if we don't respect the rules of the event, all we'll have is stationary carpark events.

How hard will people whinge if that happens?

If you are just renewing cams they get them out quickly. I did mine last week and got the new sticker this week. But don't wait too long, no current sticker to verify then we can't let your enter. Sux but that's dam insurance rules again.

Want to make sure my car isnt missing anything that you guys deem important as its my first event with the SAU

Bum. With such an attractive car in the first post to really show the style and finesse of the event it's hard to say no, but alas i'm working the nightshift before and after the event =-/

Might be the first one in 2-3 years that I miss?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
