no havent been to steves i have heaps of mates that go there and usually on a thurs morning ive got a couple of messages on my phone - u at steves? u at steves? been meaning to go there!!

Micko - what training at Mc's are we going to do because there was talk of having some license blahblahblah etc etc etc - what training are they doing and do we get to use our own vehicles - because im more interested in learning how to thrash my own car - ive thrashed too many toyotas celicas and bathtubs (mr2's) already when i worked at toyota and neither impressed - more would like advance driver training for the car i already drive. also price?

Yeah well i may go one day 33Spec2!

weekdays i dont normally go out on weekdays - to tell ya the truth i find northbridge bad enough on weekends - the guys are like pirhanas - and i dont mean to sound up myself but i get sick of lame guys approaching me all the time in the hope to get laid. Plus theres a guy that usually goes to Steve on wednesdays and id rather not bump into him.

$185 dollars is an awful lot of money to get someone to teach me how to drive my own car - i can do that thru my own mistakes. When is it - if its like a month or so away count me in - i can afford it by that time. Who else is going? the fact i get taught in my own car is a major plus - just need a date to make my discision and any requirements like helmets etc. Also the promise that my baby wont get marked by any of those nasty witches hats.

bathtub is as slow as Joe - in fact why people want to buy new MR2's is way over my head - slow as mate - nothing special at all - hot as all hell in summer - in fact i used to prefer taking a plain jane corolla anywhere than an MR2 - all of us did it used to be a fight of who we could offload the MR2 too!!

Trust me i bump into so many ppl id rather not there but really who cares im always wit my friends so i make an excuse not 2 talk 2 em like when i went this week some ppl were shouting out my name and i was like who the hell are they are they talking to me? so i went up 2 em and they were like do u remember us? Oh sh*t i was thinking i hav no clue so i just said Fark no and theywere ppl i went 2 primary school wit! how embarrassing i hate running into ppl!

33Spec2 - yeah bumping into people i would rahter not see is one thing - i can handle that. But this guy - its a long drawn out story that started when i was 14 and to ths day he's still messing with my heart - i just would rather not. Trust me im not sentimental over anyone - except this guy - it just farks with my head too much.

Ok 29th should be able to afford it by then suspension will be done, car tuned its just a matter of money left over after all that - but at the moment its pretty positive - so book it - if at the last minute i cant come im sure i'll get someone to fill my place.

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
