dammit I left my Maserati membership card and CAMs license in my car... and the car is at the panel shop. Do you think I can submit my entry sans membership number and CAMs license number?

and Roy can you sort me out with a bonnet strap?

Cheers

Just dump in some toluene, there are no rules regarding fuel for these events so it is just cheap insurance. Anyone who thinks it is "cheating" should be presented with your balls so they can suck upon them.

thats gay i wanted to come to this in the ceffy but my pay day isnt til 3 days after...

can we come and spectate? i would put the soarer in if we still have it by then... but stuff trying to guide that boat around at high speeds on a track :D

only if the people calling me a cheater are hot woman.

Yes i know who to contact :D

Have you run yours with C16 yet??

No C16 I reckon is extreme. But I'm very keen to give the Turbomax a shot. Just about every one of the winning cars at the Dutton were running on one of the elf fuels. I think I might try the Turbomax at Sandown.

You definitely do with the C16 which is why I dont want to use it. But the elf racing fuels are not so bad. They have both the elf LMS which is 98RON and the Tubromax which is 102RON. Both will give power increases with just the fuel - but better results can be had from tuning. Mostly due to the timing advances you can put in without getting any pinging.

Have seen 20% gains in power on both an EVO and a Soarer from using the elf fuels.

How much is 102ron per litre now?

Not as stupid as $8/liter like the C16 is it?

Hmmm... seems silly to put a safety margin in with the fuel, then take it back out with the ignition.

...and that is my 2¢/litre

I didn't think fuel itself will add any more power, rather with better fuel you can run more advanced timing, compression etc. without encountering detonation.

Its the raising of the detonation threshold, which allows more aggressive timing / boost etc that will give the extra hp.

ie: If your car is tuned to run on pulp and you add a tankful of av or any other fancy brew you will not see an increase in power without altering your tune.

is there an online place where i can check out prices of things like harnesses (no not ur ones denham i want ones that will actually protect me lol), bonnet pins and helmets etc

tried revolution but i couldnt find the prices... i wanna get some bonnet pins... some harnesses and stuff before i get on the track.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
