Intake manifold gasket fixed, booked in to finish off the E85 tune next week...

Now just to reflash the wideband to read E85 properly, swap brake pads, install the catch can and do an oil change.

Giggity :D

Boooooo :( That sucks, the cyls which killed plugs I'm guessing?

Yup

likely going to have to pull the head off to diagnose what went wrong

Couldn't get a refund and can't transfer the entry, and SAU dont do another round with circuit club this year. le sigh

Took the emo out to PI the other week, was feeling surprisingly good around the corners.
If I fixed up the brakes and put on some decent tyres it'd be a monster, and still completely stock :/

Still not as fun as the skyline to drive though...

http://www.circuitclub.com.au/page/faq -> What is the cancellation Policy on my ticket?

Looks like they do allow cancellation / postponement in exchange for a Circuit Club Credit Code... I don't see why they would say No to this, then you could just do a different circuit club event later in the year...

I ended up getting a refund :)

See you guys in a few rounds!

Looks like I'm out also for this round, still waiting on parts :(

how did you go about getting that refund, just a simple email?

I'll be leaving at 4:45am (for a S.E. Meet point, I will swing by Burwood Highway / Springvale Road Dan Murphy's Carpark at that time if others are coming too...), then meeting a few others at Wallan BP Outbound (~5km past the "Wallan" exit on the Hume) at 6am.

Express your interest now, or I'll just drive straight there :P

(Shameless Plug)

If you're looking for breaky before race day, pop in to Bouwmeesters Bakery and grab a bacon & egg Roll :)

(The one with the glass fencing, tables & chairs outside).

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
