Hey bec, would love to come up not 100% if racing but will b there to watch regardless can you let me know on some accommodation. might have a mate coming as well not 100% about him at this stage... Thanx

Nothing to know - i've put you down for one bed - if you need another one, let me know same goes if you decide not to come - just let me know.

updated above.

Mavric - you do however need to let me know what nights you are staying?

Wish I could make it but I can't afford to have another car off the road again and with the luck I have been having with them lately I don't think I'll take the risk.

Sould be able to make it in a couple more track days thou.

Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Hey all,

In order to give Snowie a fighting chance of taking the championship away from my grasp, I have decided to miss this round at winton. That said, considering how hard he has tried to take a round away from me up to this point by roping in some added competition (one wasn't even a skyline LOL :P ) I hope all you modded AWD pilots step up to the plate and slay the dragon :D

In all seriousness, things beyond my control have conspired to keep me away from this round but considering we are headed back in a month or so, and we are able to drop one round, its not all that bad. To all those that are headed up, best of luck and keep your eyes out for that pesky Ralliart Excel hehehehe.

Oh and Troy...finally managed to fit that pressie you brought down from Sydney for me - was an absolute b@stard to fit but I got there :P

-Anthony.

Bummer Ant :P

You can rest easy knowing that even without your good self - we'll still find a way to invoke questionable looks from the locals.

Ralliart Excel

Hehe - I remember that. At least this time we'll be able to counter with the Nismo Niva! :D

Yeah James tell me about it....see what having a kid does to you??!!! I'll suffer thru my track withdrawl symptoms on that weekend, safe in the knowledge that revenge will be exacted on Snowie in just a few months :)

As for the looks from the locals....easy....just mix beer with Roy and you'll be right :)

Lite Beers are for deluded, subservient men who can't get an erection.

Don't be that guy.

You can be my wingman Bris - I'll keep an eye on you :)

A visit to Benalia wouldn't be the same without illegal spear tackles and the revered cry of 'SARK PISS!'.

You can hitch a ride up with me in the team Lada if you like?

Sorry - just read first page.

Put me down for both nights please Bec :)

I'll bring the RF conversion plug to make the DVD player work in the antique TV.

I can see us all riding a highway to the danger zone come Friday evening :)

Looks OK to me.

Ant is out for dad reasons, Dave probably can't handle the waitress wanting to sleep with him again, Adz didn't come last time... but with yourself, Scottish, Snowplow, me and Brisby the tight-end-prop - it's like a Happy Days reunion special :)

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
