Even though I didn't drive in it, it was bloody amazing.

Good work guys, thanks for the amazing day.

I'll resize/upload the pics after I can move my arms properly.

I have around 2gb of photos to sort through.

What i wanna know is where were all the stageas, that was dissapointing, the hyandai could of had some other wagons to compete with then :) ... btw, congrats on getting 3rd in the slalom beating some more powerful cars :)

thanks heaps to everyone who organised it :)

For now, I shall leave you with this...

Just got in. What an awesome weekend that was. My first time taking the car on any sort of course so really enjoyed finding the limits of it.

Huge huge thanks to the guys and girls for organising it, Chris, Bec, Blaise for taking time off work Friday to set the course and test things. James for almost losing his voice doing starting on the skid pan. Jarrod and Min for navigating for me so I could go the right way round the cones as the understeer was so bad by the time the car corrected, I couldnt work out which cone to go between!

Thanks to all the marshalls for standing out in the baking sun to ensure we all had a good day.

Really was a fantastic effort by all involved to make the day run smoothly.

Last night was superb and good to see so many rex guys socialising this time. I passed Bris as I was checking out this morning still holding a can having been out all night, the man is an animal!

Massive thanks to all involved and see you at the next one. :)

Thanks to all the marshalls for standing out in the baking sun to ensure we all had a good day.

You're welcome :) Hmm...lots of sunburn... I don't think my excuse for taking friday off is gonna fly...

Who came third in the slalom?

It was the hyundai wasn't it? For the non-awd cars anyway.

we have some vid but have to rip and edit it etc... BIG thanks to all the organisers and marshalls who stood in the sun all day... and of course to the BBQ crew who fed the hungry hoons...

picspicspics... cmon people photoshop is your friend (and I need to replace my avatar as its old and smelly)

Big thanks to those that helped the day run so well. Al you volunteers that stood in the sun all day deserve a big thank you from al us competitors.

Hope those that stayed saturday night had a fun filled evening, i wish i could have stayed but had other commitments.

I had so much fun, the car has never coped such a beating, my clutch is not feeling so good at the moment, but meh you get that.

Hopefully everyone had a ball :)

I know i did... that BBQ is like the ultimate!

Next time ill punch the food out a bit faster as ill be more used to it.

There were 2 really nasty hot spots :)

    • 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).
    • 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.
