Yeah boss.. good chance for track time..

is that the 12th sept? i myt be going down then if not working then, some trackday I'm there on the 12th.... I do the Road And Track series. 12th is just a play day/training day for me.. Can't wait!!

My 2c How bout starting by upgrading pads in brakes you have... There are some really good race pads about now.. I seem to think that people have a misconception that standard brakes on any car are shit.. I still run standard size in my car just with race pads all round.. I'm doing 1:23's round manfield and have not had fade yet. Like i say just my 2c.

Ask Raydeo he is a diff knock expert. sorry Raydeo!!

dude. that rocks! i laughed so much i peed!!

Cheers dude.

Here is my baby.. In Ashhurst.

That looks nice dude... White is always a good color.

The B.. ;D

that's very true... My Mrs has taken mine to work a few times.. LOL

i dunno... cage? sponsor stickers? Log book? Just putting the idea out there..

we could have a lineup of racing BC'S... How many do we think we could scrape up Mine is 1

yeah i think that may be what is happening.. Lucky i bought a vf8 for $10 last week on trade me. Will fit that an see how she goes.

While we re on this subject... Does anybody have any expiernce of a vf10 on a bc5 I have been having a problem with my boost dropping higher up in the rev range in 3rd 4th 5th. Chip is supposed to hold 14psi but it spikes up to that at 3200 then tapers off down to 11-12 after 4000rpm I have had a look at the turbo but the model number at the front has been (for some reason) ground off. Could this be that the turbo fitted is a vf10 instead of a vf8...

Yeah you will feel it when it kicks in... The Air-con compressor is just a high pressure pump It takes 40psi inlet pressure and bumps it up to discharge high pressure of 160psi... That and the start when the Compressor clutch engages is basically an instantaneous 0-4000 rpm shock load on the motor...

Air con uses on average about 4% of the power your car makes..... The difference in normal daily driving is so small that you would barely notice. And yes if you don't use it regularly the compressor seals will dry out and the refrigerant will begin to leak. This was the reason that a hell of a lot of the early Jap import cars needed to be regased when they first come into the country.

that was awesome!!! Oh to have the money to piss around doin that sort of thing...

Equal length headers..... I think i got asked about a dozen times on Saturday what motor i had in my Leggy... common comment was "Dude it sounds like an evo!!"

LOL.. Cheers boss. That was 2nd ever run on brand new set of slicks....

Manfield Road And Track series. 4th July.. Me getting chased by a Corolla... Well for 1 lap anyway.

First up. With the symptoms you described i would have thought that the first thing you should have done is stop and look under the big piece of metal that sits out front of your windscreen. (It's called a bonnet.).... 2nd.. I would be getting a new workshop to do your servicing... Those belts are CLEARLY JUNK.. this is not the sort of thing that happens overnight. Any workshop worth anything would have told you that the belts were stuffed.

I might pop in and see Eddie at Elite Auto... It is a weird thing to happen and I'm not sure what could be causing it..

I thought that too.. Tried a new wastegate actuator for the meeting yesterday. same thing happened.. Maybe my wastegate is leaking?? any ideas guys.

boost tapers off after 5000 in 3rd 4th 5th. i shift at 6000 In 1st an 2nd it only makes 10psi And yeah when i ran the tap i had it completely independent of the standard boost control.

Can yours hold that much boost right up through the rev range or does the boost level taper off as the revs rise? Mine is doing this with the VF8... lower down in revs it sits at 14psi but the boost slowly falls down to 11-12 up the rev range.. Running a 14psi chip on the standard boost control solenoid.. I know that the restrictor pill is not in any of the wastegate lines When i tried a boost bleed tap i could not get any control. It was either free boosting or Wastegate pressure.7psi. Any ideas boys? .I would love to get a steady 15psi on the track..
