This article was bought to my attention today & it seems its not only government agents that browse car forums.

Although, it doesn't normally happen on SAU (posting hooning pics, providing specific bragging details etc), it does happen on other popular public forums & even I’ve been guilty in the past for posting once in a brag section thread.

Hopefully, it won't have a huge repercussion for other car enthusiasts & web site based clubs :Paranoid:. It’s a pity coz, Adel recently had another large charity cruise, which was also organised to promote a non-hooning image to the public & better ties with the police (but that was wishful thinking).

While such illegal activites shouldn't happen in the first place, I hope I don’t need to remind you mature & responsible people of SAU it is somethin that we should keep in mind (more than before) before posting on any forums.

Please try keep the baggin of Commonwhores to a minimum, coz I already know how much affection we have towards them.

I watched this last night, I must say when the media needs a scapegoat, they dont have to look far with shit like that happening!

Bit like every organized car cruise (well the majority anyhow) there is always someone who does something.

I feel sorry for the commonwhore boys and girls, Im sure there are a few decent people, just morons doing shit like that, getting on the front page of the paper, is going to make it harder for EVERYONE not just falcadore drivers

All those days that say 'practice - cars, cars/bikes are open to the public, just need a helmets and basic safety equipment, like at the drags

I've heard that the open days are a little dangerous with everyone allowd on the track at once, and not the propper marshalling. I'm just realaying what someone relayed to me so who knows how accurate it is, damb chinese whispers

Not dangerous at all really, last time I was there it was a max of about either 5 or 8 cars for about 8 laps at a time, and they space you out. No overtaking on corners etc etc..

They are marshalled quite well, I think there where 3 or 4 lots around the track

Everyone is there to have a bit of fun, the quicker guys get past quite easily so its not like you get stuck behind someone to often. If you act like a tool, you will be black flagged

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
