Guest DIRTgarage

Well done Duncan and the boys from BSM, I heard there were a lot of accidents on the weekend!!

Did Jeff Fear from SSS race??

The DP's/DIRTgarage formula ford came a creditable 15th place in only its second outing...i think there were 26 starters. We nearly got taken out on saturday by the vodaphone entry, but some evasive action by Darin kept the weekend together.

Duncan also neglected to mention that Saturday night saw him come down with a nasty cold which has kept him home today!!! Not a bad drive Sunday for someone with a head full of snot!

Bad luck on the clash with the Voda drivers Paul- we've had a few run ins with two of those drivers in the past when they used to race a different class!

gee thanks for sharing the head full of snot info kel.

I just looked at the sheets again and saw that Walls RX-7 did a 1.12 in the race. no wonder he shot past us on the straight like we were standing still. d'oh.

1.12? fark.  I want slicks.  Production sports cars are cheaters :(

haha, that's what they say about your AWD. Even my mate Alan in the birght yellow 1974 911 is lapping quick enough to be second on the grid in improved open class, and he is running in class B prod sports!!

Anyway, enough of my useless comparisons. any word on your engine yet? are we looking at new hose or new plug?

Also, Spencer said if you need any brake fluid let me know as we have heaps now and he got it pretty cheap and will happily sell you some at cost. He went a bit nuts and bought 24 litres... It seems to handle the temp much better than the brembo race fluid we had and it's less than half the price. noice.

it looks like we wont be racing at wakefield as rob's not to keen. also not a good track to take such a nice car like the GT3 as it's often just one big carnage fest. I may come down with you guys though. I reckon you should be pretty competetive at wakefield.

Go Duncan, is this likely to be televised?

Unfortunately I don't think combined touring has paid it's TV coverage fees this season for this round so I don't think it will be.

Prod Sports will be though :rolleyes:

It's a shame that some of the combined teams I think weren't willing to pay or didn't pay on time, something like that. I'm sure duncan can elaborate. It's such a great category to watch too, i'm sure it would go down well on the telly.

Actually the TV coverage is an "interesting" deal.

We put in place an agreement with AVE to televise the year at a price. They then came back with a price 20% higher 4 weeks later and said take it or leave it.

We called their bluff and left it.

However each of the first 3 rounds various competitors including BSM came up with the money for coverage, I did not hear confirmation if this round was done.

It will also get coverage in Motorsport news next issue :cheers:

Richard I had a chat to Spencer, can you grab 2 bottles I'll give it a run at wakefield ;) Will give you a shout about logistics once I know the deal with the car...I have to decide whether to enter tomoz too :)

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • 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).
