a few photos I downloaded from the khanacross event, thanks to the photographer and I hope there is no issue with sharing...
that's a very determined grimace face, I was actually enjoying it but it looks like I'm in pain. the magic tree was copping a flogging too...
negative camber...
I also did some other track prep by replacing the rubber...
replacing the hpfp fuel bucket...
and more work on the ignition side by using the bling r8 coils, super extra horsepower...
I decided to add a label for when the coils were changed and will do the same for the spark plugs...
car wasn't running great prior to my track day so I decided I'd try to improve the ignition side and clean the spark plugs. they had only been 500k but I think they fouled due the boost hose leak and the tune trying to correct the mixture. I thought this might happen in the future and didn't...
I had great fun at lakeside on friday, car definitely felt better and minor improvements from me also. I scored buy best lap time so far but still plenty more time to come off...
I decided to video my laps this time to see if I could see where I'm going wrong; which is on most of the...
I did a bit of work over the weekend to prep the car for the btuned sprint series at lakeside on the 8th of feb. first up was the front drop links as they were making an awful racket...
I didn't go with the pillow ball joints this time; they were replaced with some whiteline items that I...
agreed, think facelift is 09 onwards. may be to do with year of manufacture of abs pump module. who knows, all I do know is its a pain in the *** and stupid that you can't turn it off...
Thanks for the replies, mines a facelift MY10 I think...
Can’t turn off asr, removing abs fuse will fix it but obviously no abs then. Apparently pre- facelift could turn off asr. All depends on abs pump module...
Looking at retrofitting an old abs module but doesn’t look like a common method...
i had a recent track afternoon at lakeside...
the car is definitely a pretty capable set up and it surprised a few people. i got my pb but decided i could use some tuition, driver modification is next on the list...
also tried a skid pan covered in diesel...
thats when i found out the...
yep, so close to giving up but not really an option when its in bits on the garage floor...
next is try and sort out the understeer and then start the water meth install...
I found time on Friday to replace some service items as I'm trying to dial out some slight rough running issues. I changed the fuel pressure sensor, fuel filter, both oxygen sensors, cleaned the maf and replaced engine oil and filter. the oxygen sensor on the downpipe was loose so I'm thinking...
I tracked the car at Willowbank after the APR tune, loved it and a massive improvement...
the new Nankang AR1 probably helped also...
it was on the clubman circuit and my best time was 105; certainly not great but there would be more in it with driver improvements and tyre pressure...
got some new wheels and rubber for the track also. not my first choice in wheel stye but I was struggling to get the right fitment so they'll have to do...
Swapped out the pendulum mount at the weekend. Hard to tell but the rubber bush on the centre bolt shouldn’t look like that...
Hopefully the new apr one will do a better job...
a fresh update, I joined the darkside and switched to an APR tune this week. I haven't picked it up yet but if the whp on 98 ron is as per the APR website it will be a nice increase. 295 nags at the wheels to 370 horse. no doubt the advertised numbers will be high but I'm looking forward to what...
so its taken agesssssss but the semis are finally on...
not a big fan of the standard wheels and I'm sure they weigh a tonne so I'm on the hunt for a lighter set...
also fitted this, safety first...
I know the feeling, I have an occasional slow speed knock too. Fairly certain it will be down to the solid shock mounts but it wasn't that bad when they were installed...
I have read half a dozen threads with these symptoms and nobody ever appears to find the cause, good luck...
