im pretty sure it was a space thing. we discussed log manifold, 4-1, but the end of the day we didnt have much space to fit athe turbo in, so we went with two, with a knife edge into the turbo.

Base tune confirmed with dmd,

natro powered, ga15 throttle body, 370cc injectors (thanks in advance scotty).

all to do is hook up bov, and swap fuel for e85 when i arrive. i might run the tank to empty on the way there... keep a spare bit of unleaded in the car just incase... dont really wanna be draining fuel in the middle of the street!

ha.

almost didnt pull anythin.

she had a fender bender last night, my own fault. looked down at the speedo to check my speed (as you do every 20 seconds in vic or face life in prison) literally half a sec later i looks up and theres a rajab damn ute sat in the middle of the highway.

fortunately i was doing about 30, but the roads where a little greasy, skidded into him at about 10kph. i got a smashed head light (which i ve fixed already) and a dented bonnet. ill pick a second hand one up when i can.

he had bent bumper and a slightly bent tail pipe. inb4 5k repair bill.

micra is off the road until i can replace the punctured tyre i have (prob caused the skid) and fit the better brake pads, fingers crossed its going back to scottys on sat night/sunday so i can install the hd clutch and jun fly.

shit night last, coupled with the fact my abs module blew on the hsv.

its time like this we all have when we doubt our builds/cars and consider selling them. wife was ace and said dont worry about it, was nothing you could have done.

nistune received my ecu this morning, so i should have that back with a base tune to run the 370cc injectors by the 30th.....

Oh that sux major Muslim grenades man.

Sounds only very cosmetic though and glad it was not any worse.

Keep it going man, most of us here want to see the Abbey Snot Rocket chop some ricers.

thanks guys. it no where near as bad as im making out.

still first accident (my fault) in 12 years. i was so angry at my self.

oh well! imma keep fighting the good fight.

scotty will be happy to know all i could think about during the accident was protect the intercooler and turbo! i had enough time to steer out of the way to the left, thats why it only copped the headlight. not full front on.

WTF? Damn shame Platts. Didn't bend the turbo did it?

read the above mate. nah made contact at about 10kph, guy came off his brakes for me as well. nice chap. he said he saw it happening but couldnt move because i lancer pulled out on him.

oh well.

lol wait till your motor blows...

i mean, fingers crossed itll hold strong whilst in your hands. glad to hear it wasnt a large accident.

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
