Im currently waiting to get my car tuned then some extra funds and then wanna plan a trip to Tassie as my girlfriends family lives there.

But there is no way i could leave my baby at home, so i was wondering what the roads are like over there.

EG what the driving like i could imagine it would have some very fun twists??

we have the some of the best twisties in the world.  But the condition of the tarmak is pretty shit.  Coppers arn't too bad down here, and you rarly see speed cams outside of the towns.

yep couldn't agree more. SOme of the best roads in Australia. Police are pretty easy going so long as your sensible in the right places and not to over the top.

Speed camera's are picking up but really on through the city and suburban area's where everyone know's and expects them to be.

Come down you wont be dissappointed at all.

If you need some info or want to catch up at all then more than happy :Pimp2:

It really depends on where you go in Tassie, and if your baby has been lowered. I've found that even on the highways, if shes to low and you've got a bit of speed up...approx *edited by Slaz* you can sometimes bottom out your suspension or get a bit of rubbing action.

Tassie does however have some of the best rally style roads. Having watched targa tasmania a few times, I have to say for a but of fun give them ago.

Sorry guys, please do not mention speeding or illegal activities on-road on these forums. Please read the forum rules. Thank you.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
