Interesting thing with tac. Years ago I had a stack and broke my leg on a road registered dirt bike at a motorcross track. I wasn't going to bother trying to claim tac but the doctors at the hospital insisted when I told them the bike was reg'd. I filled out the forms truthfully, expecting to get rejected but surprisingly they came to the party and covered my medical costs and  85% of my wages till I recovered.  Was very surprised indeed. Felt like a major win.

i think you can eliminate the noob part of both of those scenarios, because as many of us have learned (particularly martin lol) that tyre conditions are very important and even skilled folk can make errors.

At the end of the day, no one is forcing anyone to donate. there are plenty of gimps on gofundme and patreon and stuff that are just looking for a payout. and if anyone wants to give their money, well then thats their loss. hmmm maybe its a good way to launder...

Wonder if they were actual semis and not just good street tyres everyone calls semi's. aka AD08's or Rs3's


Everyone seems pretty accustomed to the difference nowadays. Considering how many cars you see running them on the street anyway.

That's interesting. What insurance did the event have? Obviously running road legal tyres? Did TAC ask for any specific info on the bike?

re the crash.

from my bored searching

dude in the 350 is running mid to low 30's   so proper semis and is moving.

the other due from the last 2 events I can see he ran is low 50's...ie slow

 

from the natsoft results I see 350 guy got in 5 laps b4 for the incident.
other guy got 0..

 

so one wonders if they didn't send a slow car out in the middle of a bunch of fast cars in middle of a session.

 

 either way it sucks massively to have an incident, clad they are walking away.

but get ambo cover if your going to track your car and yes from experience , don't go hard till temps are up. else you will have a bad day.....

Wasn't an event, I was practising on a Wednesday avo at Frankston motocross track. Tac didn't ask questions at all. Got a letter from them about 4-5 weeks after lodging the claim telling me it was accepted. Bike was a Tm 250 2t enduro running on knobbies. Full road reg for enduro eligibility.

the mrs got me f1 2016 for fathers day (the dog is my daughter, managed to con f1 2016 out of her, get leesh to buy you xbox one brah :D) been playing that a bit, shit is pretty intense and realistic with tyre wear and strategy etc 

came 4th on my first race on expert, there's another couple of higher settings you can pick that must be quick as f**k

changing fuel maps and DRS while driving good fun too, you can do diff / downforce / braking changes as well, pretty complex game

The month trip to Europe negates all presents for the next year :)

Any recommendations for a wheel alignment place close to Mentone that's open on weekends?


associated tyre did an alright job on mine many years ago and have a pit style setup so low isn't an issue

    • 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.
