Shit yeah :) i'm in, my Tein is already on its way to queensland. Just need to save for tyres and a service.

hehehe...not just yet Snowie :) I figure I'll finish this championship in the class I started in and maybe upgrade before next year.

I noticed the numbers were really down last round...not just in std class but across the board......COME ON PEOPLES - GET YOUR BALLS OUTTA YOUR MUMS HANDBAG AND JOIN TEAM WANG ON THE TRACK B)

Does anyone know where i can get a decent set of 245/17 and which brand to get?

I'm not after S03 or anything fancy like that, any ideas? Something that last me for our last two rounds, no stickie needed as i dont' want to carry too much speed into conner either, can't afford an engine rebuild yet.

Thanks

Hey andrew have you guys got a championship ladder like the rex guys? , it would be good to see what times your cars are doing . Ive got the VL commo thats at most of the events and during the last winton their was a TX5 that was part of the group i was in which i noticed was running in the 41's . Is that for real ? cause my dad owns one of these and this thing must be a weapon in a straight line or the driver is very very gifted.

LOL...the TX5 driver had his transponder in a certain members GTR. I think he normally is in the low 1:50s approx

As for championship, yeh we have one going but we are still needing to work on numbers...to get an idea of the lap times see here

Bec just pointed out this is on a Sunday...anyone up for the Friday - Practice day, Sat-Skiing, Sunday-Sprint?????

And West, Falkenb 451 or the street pattern Azeni arent too bad a tyre and reasonably priced :)

But word of warning, i discovered early on in the piece that near new road tyres dont liek track work purely because of the trad depth and the tyre blocks getting warm and walkign around. So if your current road rubber is legal then have a play with that then get the nice road rubber for the street.

Perhaps Ant/INASNT can give you an idea of the tyres they used this year and how they stood up :)

That is funny, I hadnt realised what was going on! :)

Bec - Thanks for the thought :D I might stick to timing, photography and accompanying mavric on his "must eat all hot dogs from the burger bar" missions.

For anyone thats interested in the current club championship standing - including all the results and times so far I've attached a copy.

Please keep in mind this championship is for SAU Vic members only.

West maybe try one of those 2nd hand tyre joints that a few people go to. I'm yet to try them but a mate has got some cheap tyres from there a few times, SP2's etc... I know Geoff gets his tyres from one as well. Your size tyre should be easy to get a decent set.

Where is it Ferni? Do i see you at Winton this round?

Doesnt seem to have anything in it mate :mellow:

Perhaps  Ant/INASNT can give you an idea of the tyres they used this year and how they stood up :blink:

My rear tyres (Hankook Silica 104's) are stuffed and have big chunks of rubber coming off them after each track day. The fronts show evidence of alot of walking around from the near new tyres I used for my first rack day last year at sandown.

All in all a waste to use new street tyres on the track.

Where is it Ferni? Do i see you at Winton this round?

Don't know sorry, do a search I'm sure skylinegeoff has mentioned it a few times, along with some other people, there is more than one place... if you can't find one drop me a pm and i'll ask my mate for you.

INASNT: I have the same tyres on my car - hankooks - 4 track days and i think about 20,000ks on my hankooks and still going... no chunks missing, and still another 10,000ks on them i recon. Mustn' be driving hard enough.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • 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.
