Duncan, I'll be there but I may be late (very likely).

Just spent $1 768 934.29 on new brake pads so I'm not going to miss this one.

I'm bringing a pyrometer as well for those who want to see what their tyres etc. are doing.

:burnout:

Hail NUR spec.... I'm not worthy...

Sure was genuine, belongs to Peter from Powerplay Imports. Apparently it goes alright, too!

Dino, did you have those temps from my tyres?

Just got home - installed CORRECT rings on pistons at workshop (and replenished lost bodily fluids) on the way.

Missed my car, missed my co-driver, didn't miss having a good time though - passenger with an EC newbie in WRX, toooottally sideways fullllllllll oposite lock through turn 8 ..................................................................high speed ................................and he put the boot in and in and in and saved it .......BALLS!!!!

Passenger with fatz - how come you have to wave at allllllllll the cameras when you are sideways, or is it cos' you can.

As usual a good day.

DON91E and tactic, you should have come up and said hi. Did one of you own the Blue 32?

Duncan, I'll send you the temps later.

Sorry I didn't make it to the pub this time (again!) guys. That traffic looked like a turd and as it was I was late for dinner.

Dang!!!

...those piccies are the money, now left with hollow, inadequate feeling that i cant do that!

Course you can mate... just need to practice. I have been practicing for the last few track days (3 sets of rears) and am not as good as fatz, but I'm getting better.

Just follow him for a few laps and learn the lines, then ask him how he does it!

Looking forward to the 19th... hopefully I won't get tyre issues... found that drifting on steel belts is really, REALLY easy... like you don't even have to try... right dad!!!

Howdy people. Ben here (the guy in the blue WRX).

Big thanks to everyone for a cracker of a day last Thursday.

Special thanks to Simon for his instruction and nearly putting me into a wall on my second ever lap of EC. :D

Can't wait to do it again-had a blast.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
