Just a note on the results.

Firstly the times from Blaise's Bunny aren't counting towards to outright competiton due to the large number of people that missed out setting a time.

Also due to an error in the way half of the 1st set of times were recorded in the Long Wang we only have used the times from peoples 2nd and 3rd runs for this event.

Hopefully otherwise we dont have too many concerns about times given this time around.

Cheers - and congrats to Scotsman and David M on their class victories.

I am chuffed with my times! :D

Out of the box liberty with 2 mods. An SAU group buy window tint and my private plates :(

How come Ryan isnt down as the winner of the 2wd slalom yet won it 3 times? :(

we were under the impression that only two of the timed runs from each course would count and not all 3. but bleh, you get that. still had awesome fun.

Im fairly happy with my times & surprised at some of the people i beat. I was worried i'd end up behind Scott after seeing some of the times he was doing.

Jarrod, is that 39.6 on the first motorkhana the one when i was in the passenger seat? i think i know how you got such a good time.

Andrew, if you make any modifications to the results could you change my car to R32 instead of R33.

because all three times i touched the same cone, bit dissapointing but ah well. it was so much fun, i like the slalom with the triangle up the top, makes it a bit harder for the big HP cars and gives the slower cars a chance to get up there.

I thought if it wasnt moved it didnt count.

Ah well, with more DECA's next year you are bound to get on top at one. :)

he did take out the fastest time on the Short Wang in 2WD comp which is a mighty fine performance given it is a bit of a HP track.

But he probably was one of the few guys who didnt come off a little over that hill. I did some video footage there for a bit and it seemed most guys didn't quite have the wang to keep the foot fully down over the hill.

quick question... on the long wang... if hypothetically I don't go through the chicane, but instead plough through a (single) cone, does that count as a 5 second penalty only?

depends on which single cone we are talking about.

If it was the one on say the very edge of the road (A) or (F) it would be 5s for the cone being hit + 10s for the 2 other cones you went on the wrong side of.

(A)___(B)___( C)

.....................(D)___(E)___(F)

If it was just the 1 cone in the middle ( C) or (D) then yes its just 5s.

Does that make sense?

Well thats how it should "technically" be.

It also means if you went "off road" and went around all the cones then you'd have missed 3 cones which = DNF.

Sorry Jarrod didnt mean to drive that slow on the long wang kinda didnt know where i was going :) so went a lil slower... althought the short wang was alright kept similar times to yourself... and again well done to all that won events :D...

makes good sense, cheers. The way I was thinking, line up cone C, go over it, take a 5 sec penalty and not reduce your speed in the chicane.

Technically as long as you clock the whole course in 39 seconds at top speed (as you won't be slowing down for chicanes), if you take a 15 point hit in penalties for knocking 3 cones, you could have equalised with Chris for top time :)

if you lost 5s per chicane then its a good plan but there's no way that you should slow down that much to go through those chicanes that you'd gain 5s by hammering through!

LOL, unless your car doesn't like changing direction rapidly :D

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
