Nice shots mate, must have been a hoot.  Just been down to the short stage of rally SA here in Gawler st the footy oval.  I reckon this would have been right at home.

Thanks Gary, looks a lot more stable and composed then it felt in real life, now I’ve sorted the Control arms and tweaked up the suspension I’m looking forward to the next round..   :XD:

Always amazes me when you see in car footage of a race car how busy it is. I know even with my porka if i push it a little the mental intensity goes next level.  I reckon you have s few fans waiting to see how it goes

That’s exactly how I felt, seriously after the 4 laps I did I was just about done anyway…

Something I need to work on!

I guess its a thing you just have to do more of?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Yeah for sure, just need to wrap my brain around it all and get match fit… Wasn’t prepared for the mental load at all, they do 2x runs then change the track layout you get a parade lap then back into it for 2 more and so on…that and only having done 20 kms in the car made it a steep learning curve..

Sounds so fantastic. A real challenge, have to say watchng the rally tonight i do like bitumen coz its predictable and clean. But i guess thats the appeal of dirt, its so unpredictable.  I guess like when it rains on tarmac it lets the guys with less hp but more skill shine.

“Challenged” Yep that describes it for sure!!

Beauty of this build is it’ll run tarmac events as wellm may not be optimum due to the ride height but will still be a lot of fun on Semi Slicks!

Thanks Cava, it certainly requires 100% of your concentration when you get on it, think V8 Supercar power to weight on dirt :XD:

Its good to see the final product being used as per expectations.

I’m sure you’ll have plenty fun with this car for a long time.

Its one thing to build a track car but a dirt car is so much more fun, Enjoy.

Today End!

Went and borrowed a Tech2 from a Mate this morning on my way back my Solder Sucker had arrived so I was able to repair my EFI-Live screen, found a couple of issues in my tune file corrected them and while it was a little better the Throttle disconnect was still happening, I was able to watch what it was doing and when on the EFI-Live screen in real time and noticed it was only if I had the brakes on…

“Brake Torque Management” Closes the throttle kills fuel and spark  if both pedals are used… I’m a left foot braker so it bit me badly as I was probably trail braking at the track, what makes it worse is there’s a delay timer, the longer it see’s it happening the longer it takes to restore throttle control… DOH

Temp Gumby “Fix” for now is to adjust the pedal switch so you need a lot of pressure before the ECU see’s it, this will allow me to stall it up a bit on the start line and light trail braking, tested it out in the Shed, had 3 wheels spinning before I ran out of Shed!
