Leeroy - Yep yep, it's stock other than the tyres.

GTTR34 - Nahh - Using Harry's Laptimer on my iFail. I've got a DualAV XGPS160 10Hz GPS which I stuck on the dash to provide the data.

Nice one Matt, the lotus loves 3rd gear... Are

That's because 1st and 2nd gear are best for 0-100 times ;)

(And also because richo proves a long 3rd gear can be used for almost all of Winton)

How nice is it to have power!

That farken lotus is bullshit, no weight, awesome power delivery, stops and turns on a dime. It's super special cheater spec. Although as a passenger, you need to be really comfortable with the driver lol, it's somewhat um cosy.

Yep - it's a good little thing. I'm more and more pleased with the purchase after each track day...

I just wish I could do a track day every weekend :)

LOL @ being comfortable with the driver - yeah - you reach awfully close the passengers leg each time you're changing gears, and you're basically touching shoulders the whole time.

First time out in the CRX, pretty happy with a 1:49.32.

I was in group D and the traffic was difficult to deal with. Moved up to group C at the end of the day and it was much better.

Hopefully I can get out there more often.

Overall good day, would do a circuit club day again.

It was an awesome relaxed day! Although i didn't do much racing since i kept popping every imaginable silicon joiner off the cooler pipes it was still a great day! Keen for Broadford now !

I've got one of these and it works well :) Keeps up battery for the entire day, and it's lightweight enough to vecro it to the top of the windscreen without worrying about it flying off.

Just be aware that it only works on Android.

Ask me how I know.

I need to get me one of them, the internal phone GPS is usually spot on time wise but sometimes gets "lost" and thinks I've cut across the infield which maps lap comparisons a bit hard some times

this explains a few things....thinks you got lost....yeah

    • 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
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
