Shelly Bay Sprint yesterday. Only managed 10th place unfortunately. I haven't entered this event for 10 years and it's very technical with an unforgiving bite if you make a mistake. And I had my

Wow, nice result Viv. You're bogging on the start line though =P

Yup, first run of the day was a great launch, then every run after that got worse as the rubber on the start line got thicker (the launch above was 3rd or 4th). That's admittedly only using 6500rpm, but when I set it up it was good. But yeah, next time I will try 7k and see if that's any better.

Loren, yup sure. Cos there was 2 seconds more in my ability! Another 50kw though and I would have aimed higher (currently only 179).

Nonetheless it still sounds good! What size straight pipe you got on there?

lols... that's a whole lot of modesty from someone who kicked some serious arse consistently all day!

Just straight 3" pipe. Sounded better with EJ20G heads though!

Loren, I was a little too consistent, launch got worse each run but made up for it further up the hill, but times didn't improve really all day!

PS glad to hear car is behaving now.

so last night while playing in a friends paddock my gearbox decided not to go into 1st gear. Limped it home (taking off in 2nd) and took the gearbox out today. Went to Auckland and bought me a V3 STI RA box for my 02 WRX Wagon and it came with a TD05 and a starter motor for 180! Was pretty happy with that price considering what i was buying. Tomorrow it all goes back together!

Same ratio box as your rear diff/gearbox that came out?

True, you didn't improve, but my point was you didn't just fluke one really good run to come 3rd.

My car is now going well... but it's still burning some oil... and so STM may refuse or be unable to tune it.

It's booked in on Monday, so based on what happens I will either be getting back into some racing ASAP or

pulling the motor again and splitting the short block this time.

Yup but the only thing is is that it has a cable speed sensor as opposed to a electronic one like on my original box. So i might just look for the same box to put in to save issues and hassles with it.

also reverse is a slightly different ratio but that shouldnt matter..Why what are you thinking?

Just swap sensor over dude. Few less bellhousing bolts but again its fine. Had mismatched ratios in mine when i bought it i had no clue till it was bolted up to a hub dyno and cost me a chunk of money.

Thanks!

There isn't a huge amount on now for a bit, my next event probably won't be till May now? Well BMW is getting caged, so might do some stuff in that instead as I don't want to take WRX to the track, it never seems to survive!

I ran into an issue when swapping them over. The electronic sensor was touching the side of the box which didnt let me screw it in further. So i thought i would not force it incase i broke it. I definitely checked the ratios and everything is the same bar reverse. 4.44 final drive ratio.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
