Oh yeah... Broken bracket - rear right lower arm - at the subframe! Without hitting anything. Hahahahahhaha

Btw. That tow - nice chap. Cost me $120 from TAFE to Rydalmere. His number is 0432 550 077 his name is Micheal. If ever need a tow.

Beware, I VOW to have Godzilla back for the next Texi run. Sitting on the sidelines is just too hard.

And for anyone thinking, oh my car isn't good enough. Well my "TEST" pass runs on Confusion, Looper 88 and Double Slalom were made in poor little Rupret my Daily FWD Mazda 3. Only aftermarket parts on him are a set of rims.

No excuse not to come out and have a go for fun!

Woot!! One more to make things more interesting! The more the merrier! Heheheh [emoji12]

Btw. Thanks for pointing out the rear arm to me. [emoji4][emoji4] much appreciated.

Thanks to all who organized, helped out etc. I had a great day, car hated it kept fouling the spark plugs (Bloody Rotor's) HAHAAA

very out of touch with RWD, manual and skids!!! was still very fun, bit disappointed I didn't wreck a pair of tyres, every time I went to grab second it would either bog down or hit the boost to hard and spin me there was no inbetween :( a different diff ratio would probably help but no point as Texi was 1 off just for a bit of fun :)

Unfortunately the RX7 won't come back to Texi but if I can prevent the Stagea from blowing a P/S pump I'll definitely bring that back!!!

didn't get many photo's, still suck at getting a decent action photo HAHA........ its about time I do some proper research on the capabilities of my DSLR

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
