Queensland Raceway Happy Laps (v.5) 27th May 2012 (breakfast)

[seangti]

Can't decide wether to change oil before or after tomorrow. Also tyre pressure round 40? (what's the reason behind this?) I usually run 32psi

When you load up the car in the corners, the tyre sidewalls roll over. It keeps the sidewalls stiffer which helps minimise the damage to them. It also makes the car more progressive on the limit. Its the front left that will thank you for the increased pressure. My front left, now on the back, has little side wall and what is there is chunked out, put the 40 in and I can show you mine as to why before we start - I'll have a pressure gauge with me if u than decide to lower them . Though this damage is from sprints and 5 laps of no mercy at a time, rather than the lower limits of happy laps.

Must remember to remove roof racks this time, almost had lift off at lakeside

STOP PRESS; late news; just got a call from QR - they are going to put us on the track first at 7:30 sharp due to the bike meeting on the same day needing track setup & have breakfast following the track time. Please make sure you are there about 7:20 at the latest if possible for the driver briefing & let others know if you can to be there on time.

When you get there, if you are there before me, the guy organising is Ron. He has asked us to meet him to the left of the control tower (looking from the carpark), near the kiosk/grassed area and track entrance.

Has anyone got a diagnostics cable they can bring tomorrow ?
My car is running rough, hunting for idle, sort of missing and hesitating at times.
I had the ignition amp module replaced this week and its still a bit rough. Today I cleaned the MAF, removed the inter-cooler and cleaned all the oil out, removed and cleaned the throttle body - was very mucky.

I really need a scan and maybe a Throttle Alignment, I suspect Oxygen sensor is wrecked from running rich on 3 cylinders earlier in the week.
I plan to come out, but if the problems persists I might sit out and take photos.

Hazah, my camera solution WORKED!!!! I have discovered the wonders of duct-tape. The camera did not even budge even though I went over speed bumps at 55km\h.

Wow - just realised you're coming from the coast - you will need some shut-eye then young man!

Don't forget we have a lady amongst us, so it won't be 100% gentlemen's lappage!
