The knock sensor was probably going nuts with all that timing advance and was backing off the timing anyways

thus far it feels a bit more pokey down low, but feels to loose it up higher, but that could just be my senses today. The thing I hope is it should go a little further on a tank of fuel now.

acutally we made the hunter ran and had a ball Smile just tghe last event and the next one we prettty mcuh cant make as its quite a hike to get to southern sydney for a 9-10am start Razz[/quote]

Oops, my bad! Bit hard to stay on top of things from across the ditch... that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it.

We used to have a member that came down from Newcastle for everything, and currently have a member from Albion Park who is just as dedicated. Although I do know how hard it is! Its always quite hard to find time.

Scott, I'll try and find some pics of my cars. I've got some on cardomain somewhere, probably under the Evo 7 (Dave and Rach's Evo 7) if you can be bothered looking.

Ben,

Love your work...keep those pics coming !!


Wiso,

When i got my car it came from Melbourne.

When i got it registered in NSW it had to get a Blue slip which is a detailed inspection. They cross reference engine numbers chassis numbers etc They also check for modifications outside of the NSW guidlines. As such they checked the engine capacity etc, the wheel size, tyre OD, track ride height etc etc. this all took about 3 hours and cost a packet.

According to the inspector all the mods were with the guidline that dont require an engineers certificate and from the research i have done it all seems to check out OK

they didnt bother you about the pod filter scott???? where is this blue slip place...???

i get about 250km to the tank but i have a broken knock sensor so im hoping the new ecu should improve the afr a bit and bring it back to about 350-400km a tank as i hear that the gze's are supposed to run quite rich ive heard that afr's of 10:1 are normal on the stock ecu and adding an aftermarket ecu and leaning it out to 12:1 will gain you a few ponies.

The pod was only a temporary thing and it was not like that when i got it or when it was blue slipped either. At the moment i am using a uni filter in the original enclosure.

As far as fuel goes best was driving it home from melboure, averaged 6 litres per 100 ks over 2 tanks Very Happy so was very happy about that, worst tank was 220 ks for 30 litres Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

So yes it very much depends how you drive !!!!!!!!

Man,

That is really annoying let me know if you want some moral support prob cant help on friday as if the baby is not out by then it shall be extracted Shocked but maybe after that.

on that point i am having about 3 weeks off after the baby is born to get into the fatherly way and all. but i am also going to use the time to get a few thing done on the car and do some talking to people that only seem to work normal business hours.

So if there is anything AW11 related that any of you want me to investigate (pref sydney metro)let me know would be happy to sus it out.

some of the things are:

Coil overs

Wheel repairers

Intercoolers

Turbos

race seats and harness

etc

Also i have been meaning to get to a Toymods meeting, i have made a commitment to Joshtix (rain hail shine) that i will be at the next one, it would be good to see some other AW11s there as well.


I would be keen to have another get together in say about 3 weeks. somewhere in the sydney area. More than happy to have a BBQ at my place if anyone interested. Would be good to get some of the people that missed out last time. maybe go for a spin through the national park down to Stanwell then back to my place or what ever. give me some feedback on what you think

everything you said there scott sounds good id like to get some info on coil-overs aswell as race seats as im meaning to replace the seats with something fixed back and black i dunno maybee a sparco but it needs to be comfortable...

Yeah i need all the support i can get atm cause ive been pulling my hair out so much this guy has been sending me bald...

Ive got a mate who thinks he can pick me up from work on friday to go pick up my car but hopefully it goes to plan but even once i get it back i will be getting the tunning checked as i dont trust this guy one bit.

"steampipe" Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

You guys crack me up !!! how about some cable ties.....or better still electical tape Laughing Laughing

dont you ever knock steampipe. Mad i've seen heaps of high hp performing cars with steampipe turbo manifolds, and quite a few that are even the good old log type like i have. hell a basic log type of manifold can be used up to ~350hp with the right accessories etc.
stainless bling bling equal length wow.. Rolling Eyes


and dont get me started on cable ties!!!!

Feral,

Was having a look on cardomain last night and had a look at some of your work.

Its obvious you love your steam pipe Laughing Laughing Laughing

But seriously i really enjoyed looking at the engine set up on the stand with the hand made inlet and exhaust manifolds.

I can just imaging you sitting down on a chair with a beer in one hand, admiring your handywork Very Happy

guys just wanting a quick show of hands who is going on the GOR run this year?

I am deffinatly Very Happy

It time to start looking at accomodation booking. It would probably be a bit more fun if we all booked room at the same motel, that way any loners (maybe like me Laughing ) don't choose the wrong motel where no other mr2 owners are staying. Has anyone gone and booked up yet?

here is the page about it http://www.amused.net/~mr2oz/gor2005.htm

let us know what you guys reckon.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOODs,

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes.

Man.....where did the last 3 days go....or for that matter where did the last nine months go !!!!!

We are the proud parents of a baby boy "Guy"

He was over cooked by about 10 days, he obviously liked the conditions inside better than outside Laughing

He was born late Friday night 9 1/2 pounds !! Shocked Shocked Dont know where that came from ? i only weigh 56 kg and Shell was only 50 before getting pregnant.....no wonder he had to find his way out via "C" section Mad

Now i have to start work on a race harness for him so i can strap him into the SC Evil or Very Mad

i have allready taken him for some hot laps around the hospital corridors in his cot and he very much seems to like it Very Happy


Thanks,

Scott

well lads the other week i hit a lump of mud with my a/c condensor heat exchanger, gave it a bit of a bend down the bottom.. Laughing

even though it still works (well there isnt any leaks), i'm going to start on my ghetto aluminium radiator heat exchanger.

i'll epoxy glue some end bits on the tanks and put in a couple 20mm hose barbs. the front spoiler will be modded to fit as its bigger than the heat exchanger. (need to make the spoiler again anyways).

I'd encourage anyone to get along to the Great Ocean Road weekend. Its a fantastic time along some of the best roads in the country. Some great people and of course cars. I've been on the past 2 and loved each one.

Sad to be missing this year!

MOTORKHANAS!!!

Wet skidpan, witches hats, lots of fun.

Just to let some aw11 owners know, there are two motorkhanas at gympie coming up soon. They are held on a wet-concrete skidpan. I've done quite a few of these (about 5), and its really helped me get to know my car more, and get a feel for the effect of the mid-engined layout with low traction. I think its proving to be an advantage over all the rwds there, now I'm getting the hang of it more.

I havn't seen any other mr2s go in these events at all yet.

here are the threads with info on them.

cost for either of them is only $25 which is really cheap compared to driver training days and things.

Yes... as far as I know it is still on the cards. Its quite difficult to organise with CAMS permits, numbers, costs etc. If it doesn't happen this year (hopefully it will) it will definitely happen next year.

yeah cams affiliations has its advantages but you have to organise every event through cams and have it approved by a cams board thing from memory

Not quite every event.

Some events we can run without CAMS - eg days at Wakefield as there is separate indemnity insurance there. But most events do need a CAMS permit. Even our regular drives are run under a CAMS permit.

Red tape? Yes
Expense? Yes

Worth it? Absolutely - to protect the committee and members should something go wrong.

Hopefully we will get the skid pan day sorted for this year. (Although I'll be back next year... )

Dave
