You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I'll jog your memory...

You were reported to have died on 1 May 1994, as a result of your car crashing into a concrete barrier while you were leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy.

as a result of your injuries and now crispy brown skin, you decided to hide away from all the attention as a young sri lankan man living in Australia... you adopted the name Aaron, because it was the first name in the book.

From here you continued to live undercover as a simple car enthusiast, however at one fateful sandown trackday, your raw talent simply could not be hidden!

Here you kept up with far more powerful cars including stagea's skylines, ferraris, radicals, zonda's, pagani's and mclarens.

It was at this point that I realised that I am extremely bored at work... and that YOU... MUST... BE... SENNA...

don't forget as I read on jalopnic this week

lost his virginity to a fat Prostitute at age 13..

Senna that is

I beg to differ, I wAs keeping up fine with the 240kw plus cars down the straight at sandown. It's a very under estimated car

Given above 150kph, is when they start to pull away

Even gave Scott a run for is money in the 350kw Stagea. He only pulled away at 120kph.

Hence why he bought one lol

I want to see this first hand. Not saying I don't believe you

Tonight

Your car vs say Simon/Birds

Roll on from say 70km/h. That's about the exit speed at Sandown onto the coming straight

pulled away at 120...so the start of the straight?

who doing 70 on the start there ,

I'm exiting the corner at around 100-110....

was painfull at rexmas,

got out of the corner great full power down the straight,

Chris Madden going past around 50-60 km/h faster...damn that 330kw...

If you were talking about overtaking me on the straight, that's because I was trying my hardest not to let my engine lean out ;)

Really need to fix that...

Edit:

I wonder if that could have been the cause of the lower power figure on the last tune...

Assuming that a single dyno pull in 4th gear doesn't completely suck all the pressure out of the system but only drops it slowly towards the end... So the upper part of my rev range could have been running at say 80% of the fuel pressure it should be running at. If it was consistant, then that would have been included/accounted for in the tune right?

Pulling hard through 2nd / 3rd / 4th was leaning it to the point of misfire / detonation, so not a great feeling on the straight.

I THINK that the Walbro 255 is affected more by a lower voltage source than a stock pump or the bosch 040 that was in there beforehand... So if I wire up a direct feed to it with a relay coming off the ECU wire, it should pump more...

But will it also have a 100% speed whine all of the time instead of varying at Idle speeds? aka, stupidly loud?

I was more so talking about corner speed of that turn before the straight

lol I think you need to drive my Skyline and then not say that.

Really need a more daily daily. But not sure if Evo is right way to go about it.

There's no replacement for displacement.

My GTS-T is currently running it's 252kw safe tune...we can test this "Evo is the fastest car in the world" theory tonight...but I think I know the answer already. Short gearing means SFA in a rolling drag, unless you have a substantially higher redline than me and can carry the gear for longer...it just means I have to drop down a gear to be as short as you, comprende? You get the impression that 4th gear is fast going onto the freeway because it's probably the same ratio as 3rd in a Skyline...nothing Criss Angel about it.

That driver should be considerate and yell 'FORE!' before fanging it past your work.

How ironic that you would say that... Look what is across the road from my workplace...

Boss's Porsche Boxster has been hit a few times by stray balls...

Meh, its only a Boxster...

      For what it's worth (I'd never looked at the button closely enough to work out it has a person on it!) with the switch 'active' double-pressing the unlock on the remote will cause lights to turn on. As I recall it will cycle through plain-unlock, unlock-with-park-lights and unlock-with-headlights as you repeatedly double-press unlock.

      I'm not defending Haltech. They had some golden years, but their history of problem products goes back a loooong time before that and now. My bro-in-law swore off them 15 years ago. Same stuff. Firmware bugs, patchy tech support complete with total ignorance of what was going on. Doesn't mean that there are not 5 or 6 other excellent options - most of which were also born in Australia.

      I agree their STREET is limited in features, but both their RACE and PRO models have everything you could possibly need (I.E Knock, Built in EGT, Built in Wideband, Dual DBW, etc.) It's also cheaper in comparison with anything Haltech has to offer and more importantly from what I hear it actually works well.  I'm a little bias these days as Haltech has really turned into a pile of poop lately.. I don't know what's happening with their firmware team but I'm thinking it's outsourced and their cutting costs. There's always massive bugs, they're not doing any testing, there's no revision control (I.E They acknowledged a few months back that they accidently released an unfinished firmware). It feels like they're being run by bean counters vs actual software & electrical engineers. They seem to be to busy releasing new products as opposed to fixing software issues. As of 2-3 weeks ago they started a beta program to presumably op the rest of the end users out of unwillingly testing firmware's. I'm happy they're starting to listen to all the complaints. Hopefully it gets better fast.

      Any plans to seal it from the cabin? It will throw plenty of oil/grime over the years. On my auto to manual Stagea there is a custom ally sheet  to cover most of the hole then the standard rubber seal is attached to that to join to the shifter
