:lol: Yep that's right! If the Barometric pressure drops too low the ignition system in my car is disabled :P

Hang on a sec! Bug's I did take it out in the wet on a cruise a while back! (ok so it was fine to start with)

I just detailed the whole car last weekend, 'cause I hadn't washed it for 4wks :eek:

I'm keen to cruise whenever the roads are dry :O

If this Fri' is still shit then how about we all go watch the AIR drags on Sunday, & cruise next weekend?

Not sure if its on or not yet, so bloody hard to tell how weather will be, it changes everyday. As I look outside from work the sky is clear and its sunny and dry.... so lets hope the rain has gone and all is ok.

Obviously we are not going to know until tomorrow avo at earliest if it will be ok tomorrow night.

If its sunny and clear like it is now I say lets cruise.

But if its raining and looking crap then cruise is off and we can reorg it maybe for next week or week after??

I am def keen to go to drags on sunday either way so count me in for that.

I 2 have just detailed my car and polished it so will not be taking it out in the weather if i can help it. The main thing that really worries me is d***heads being stupid **cough cough Commodore drivers** (not u Jaffa).

Last friday was such a great night too!! , damn winter, damn rain... bah!!!

Ill be very dissappointed if it rains 2molo

so..lets just hope it doesnt cause ive waited lyk almost a whole week 4 this special nyt

*lyk what that chick from the "the weather women" says....rain rain go away come back in another day* - Or something lyk that anyways.....heheheehe

plz dont rain 2molo

hrmmm.. I don't think I'll be coming out ppls..

I'm having detonation issues...

I think it may be the Mobil Synergy 8000 Fuel that I slapped in last night.

I always run BP 98.

With the Mobil Fuel it seems that i cant run 25deg timing, I've still got the origional plats in her that have been regapped so I going to change them tomorrow.

Bummer.. :shake:

Probably a dodgy servo.. hrmm.

Just posting a message on behalf of Drift Spec to say the cruize is most likely going to be going ahead.

After some shocking weather, thunder and hail etc the sun has decided to come out so lets hope the roads dry off and the skies stay clear.

Meet at the arranged place at the arranged time (8:00 i believe)

Cheers,

Joolz

    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
    • That's less offensive than the previous gen.....except for all that ugly black tupperware around the edges. Blerck!
    • I leant out the window recently and took a picture of this new WRX. It looked real damn fine in person. It's faster around a track (stock) than a (stock) GR Yaris. It's much more practical despite being heavier. It's significantly cheaper. This gen tunes really well, much better than others. .... I think they're probably a lot better than people expect.
