Nah, we were down south, it was nice to be invited but I'd have felt a bit strange rocking up to a wedding in my SAU cap:D

I'm sure we'll here all about it in a couple days. Hope she is feeling OK after her accident.

See'ya:burnout:

Yea , I have to work on John about that.

Will see if there is an arvo session as well.

If not we might just have to run overtime . Hehehe

If I am instructing ( and atm I am ) we will be starting early ( 8 am ) to maximise track time.

Will have to post closer to the date a few details , ie pressures, loose crap etc.

Cheers

Ken

Hehe, knowing her she'd have been to drunk to have much excitement in the bedroom:D

See'ya:burnout:

Getting drunk and performing is not a female problem.

In fact quite the opposite from my experiences.

Trick is for you to remain near sober.

Cheers

Ken,

Any advice you can give us would help, we're all pretty new to this, even though we all think we're gods gift:D

See'ya:burnout:

we talking bout women or driving ??

First one , never have , never will.

Second one , some idea but still a lot to learn. At least with the 2 nd one , the goalposts don't keep moving.

Cheers

There are heaps of things I want to do to the car before the MC day, but due to my holiday funds are tight.

See'ya:burnout:

Heaps of vthings ??

Like what apart from make sure the brakes , cooling system and tyre pressures are up to scratch.

Am not interested in the fastest time cos

A , I could prolly beat you

B I could prolly beat you in your own car

C I don't want you to have no excuses when everybody else beats you.

Trick is to forget every body elses time and just work on decreasing YOUR laptime a liitle every time you try it.

Cheers

Ken,

No I'm not worried about power etc, or beating anyone, but my suspension setup is dreadful at the moment, and I really need it looked at. I will try Wilkinson out and see if they can fix it.

See'ya:burnout:

If it's got the usual Jap rockhards in it , he won't be able to do much. Maybe change springs.

Trick is to get some good King Springs and adjustable Bilsteins or Koni's new for about what everyone charges for 2 nd hand Teins or similar.

Cheers

Ken

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
