yeah a very sad story but it will be back soon :rolleyes: It went back to the machine shop on Fri and we should have it back to start again on Tue. Hoping to have the engine back in and running by w/end after next.

And we've pretty much finished up the interior too, seats, harnesses, kill switch, data logger.

Still need to reinstall bushes, subframe, diff, suspension, brake lines....but its getting close, probably 100% ready in 4 weeks

Sick... must be pretty stressfull. I know if it was me I would be throwing spanners across the garage if that happened. What are the rules for the touring category in regards to brakes and diffs - free for all, do what want type thing?

fatz: when you say there would be flag marshalls on the track it means the dudes in white suits and earmuffs waiving different color flags? Hopefully we get a crash course on those in the beginning because i can see myself getting beaten up by 5 blokes who were tailgating me while i was waived to pull over and let pass.

yeah some spanners have been abused in the building of that engine :cheers: The rules are pretty tight, only things we can change are ECU, coilovers, diff centres, and add safety stuff like cage, seat, harness, kill switch. Luckily we can run N1 spec which includes larger wheels and tyres and the brembo brakes.

Yeah there will be a couple of guys manning the flag points, 3 last time I think. Basically they will show yellow flag if there is an incident and red if the session is over (back to the pits).

Fatz,,,Is it okay to pay you on the day?. I've got a problem with one of the rear calipers and Race Brakes www.racebrakes.com.au are trying to fix it.

Neil.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
