Would love to kick it a crack at short track on r comps without a miss-fire etc etc.

Really need to work out a way to get that vos chip into a working configuration - the car becomes a totally new animal.

lachy294 21-11-2012 07:45 PM

Well its back from ASG and all is good :)

Graph below: Nothing special but hey its all working :) car is running 0.9 bar.

TJ - yeah I'm still trying to work out why it shorts when we move it. I have been considering a full stand along ecu, atm im thinking Vipec but depends on what i want to to in the future with the car.

GTB Liberty 21-11-2012 08:07 PM

Should be quicker than the barge ...

Oh wait ... :)

Richo_RS 20-04-2013 09:42 PM

is this Mitches old motor/car ?

lachy294 20-04-2013 10:10 PM

Yep its his old car. From what I got told the old motor went pop and then he throw a stock ej20g in with a stock ecu and sold it to TJ then I've got it from TJ.

From the UK to Perth in under a week!! Now to get them fitted!

:wav:

DukeDrifter 02-05-2013 02:44 PM

They look grippy lachy :P

teejay 02-05-2013 03:00 PM

Looking at the dyno graph it astounds me as to how it did its time around wanners with so little power.

Still neeeeeeeeeds that chip back in the car.

RSR-WRC 02-05-2013 03:03 PM

AD08!!! Lots of grip in those puppy's

Didnt you have the chip in when you did the laps? Im looking at doing a no limits night soon so well find out soon!

teejay 02-05-2013 03:32 PM

No dude - as you have it currently.

Chip went in the day before the Colin Cruise later that year.

Like I have always said with rubber that thing has a 58 in it as is.

lachy294 02-05-2013 03:40 PM

Cool game on then!

Wildbill 02-05-2013 04:24 PM

neat RS keep it that way.....

Richo_RS 02-05-2013 07:25 PM

recognised the intake in gold :D

also, i like the ad08's

lachy294 31-05-2013 03:08 PM

So update time;
The AD08's are fitted and feel great, difference between the old tyres and these is night and day.

Then tuning day on Tuesday was going well until something power steering wise gave way. Turned out that the pressure line was rubbing on the up pipe (my fault). So its now running a tighter join off the rack and slightly longer line to make sure we clear it and I have double checked it again. It now sits in a comfortable gap.

No Limits last night was great fun! Besides having a few brake fade moments managed to get a 1:01.0 short track and the long track wasn't run. Big thanks to Franz and Ivan for the instructing throughout the night, I learnt a lot! Ill upload a video soon.

lachy294 31-05-2013 03:33 PM

LOL I'd look at the brake pedal and the car would stop!

teejay 31-05-2013 04:08 PM

Fluid flush and braided lines.

Master D 31-05-2013 04:32 PM

I don't know how much more you'd want to do lachie!!!

ST - had fresh fluid as of yesterday arvo :-/

lachy294 31-05-2013 04:32 PM

Flush with this.. [url=http://www.motul.com/au/en/products/168?f%5Bapplication%5D=144&f%5Brange%5D=25]Motul - Automotive Products - RBF 600 Factory Line[/url] (or something along these lines)

If I could get the brakes a bit more consistent with fluid and maybe lines I'd be happy. That was the most annoying part about last night, second guessing how the brakes were about perform.

Before the next one, do fresh pads, good fluid and skim the rotors.
That way no second guessing when it comes to it again.

Warm up lap and second fastest lap of the night at 1:01.2 (forgot to turn on the go pro on my last run)

I have more for you once I'm no longer crosseyed or frozen to edit

Lonewolf 31-05-2013 09:27 PM

car looked good out there!
what sort of fade did you get, pedal to the floor or dead pedal?

teejay 01-06-2013 03:01 AM

Has it been flushed since my ownership?

I know when I did wanners in that car it had GREAT feel and no fade.

Flushed it Thursday afternoon just before heading there.

GTB Liberty 01-06-2013 06:22 PM

Lachy just needs to brake less ... Like Franz ;)

[QUOTE=Lonewolf;756179]car looked good out there!

Cheers, the sparks from yours were impressive too!
Mainly just a soft pedal/straight to the floor, but a couple of times it felt like I was barely braking but had pedal pressure...

[QUOTE=teejay;756192]Has it been flushed since my ownership?

As Dave said was done Thursday afternoon, by the second run it was mucking around. Ivan said the brakes pads were suffering as well (from memory thats what he said). Both Franz and Ivan went "WTF are they?!" when I said i was running QFM's...
Older pads maybe?

[QUOTE=GTB Liberty;756276]Lachy just needs to brake less ... Like Franz ;)[/QUOTE]

Lol I tried that... I over shot the hairpin.. Twice :p (not really one I had the pedal go straight to the floor, other one was me pushing a little to hard haha)

lachy294 02-09-2013 10:23 PM

So upgrade the brakes they said.... I upgraded the car :p

Today I officially bought a 2004 MY05 STi :D and havent wiped the smile off my face since, Pics will come in the next day or two, but car is basically stock but they have thrown a FMIC on, which im plaining on pulling out and going back to the STi TMIC (anyone have one let me know :) ) and thats it!
Exterior has seen better days, interior is mint!

Also can a mod just change the title to "Lachys Driveway" or something to that effect, thanks :)

TROLLEY 02-09-2013 11:22 PM

Congrats! Which car will be there on Sunday?

ALEX. 02-09-2013 11:23 PM

Good job Lachy. Nice to see you in a car young than you are :P I guess the FHMC banner will need to move across now, too.

Soooooo good.

lachy294 02-09-2013 11:41 PM

[QUOTE=TROLLEY;769300]Congrats! Which car will be there on Sunday?[/QUOTE]

Took it for a blat last night with Lachy. Very nice drive. Bit laggy with the front mount but other than that, handles great, no funny noises. Lachy will clean it up so it look a million bucks.

He couldnt wipe the smile off his face!

mitchwnz 03-09-2013 08:02 AM

Congratulations Lachy, awesome upgrade! Can't wait to see this car out and about. Chuck up some pictures bro!

DukeDrifter 03-09-2013 08:02 AM

Congrats buddy and you got a good deal :)

American Dave 03-09-2013 08:07 AM

Congrats mate that is an excellent choice and cant wait to go for blat
