I had street tires on (Federal 595 SS). I might come on the 21st. i'm not too sure... i'll take up that offer if i come even though i'd be ruining your power:weight ratio :lol:

the day i think there was 5x close to 60. But the sessions were good fun as there wasn't many cars at the end of the day. :)

2 things:

1. DIY Camera mount passed scrutineering :lol: , so to those who doubted you. haha. And proved to be more sturdy and better quality recording than my suction mounted one. Definitely can be improved though so.. Patent pending. lol

2. No wonder you got 1.54, you had initial D music.. unfair advantage.. that shaves off at least 2seconds! :P

got rid of the damn scratches caused by the doona flapping in the wind on my bonnet... and like wow i even was suprised with the before and after shot... :o

BEFORE

AFTER

DSC01118.jpg

This wasn't even the proper full detail... i skipped the clay bar. bonnet still felt smooth over the surface ;)

both shots were post wash. took me around 45 mins to do. so the sun was further up in the sky, so maybe that affected the after picture as well?

Got my pads changed over today and machined the rotors... the pads that went on the left didn't bed in properly but its getting there... a few more days of normal braking and it should do the trick.

My TRDs fronts were pretty much down to the last matchstick size :P

TRDs black ---> QFM HP-X pads. Pedal feel is quite good. but thats how the TRDs were when they were first put in.

rotors were of minimal wear as well (even though i punished it on the track). of course the left passenger got more punishment as the track was a clockwise one.

what suprised me was the mechanic said, "your rotor wear is even better than most peoples normal "street driving".

so i must be doing something right... for once :lol:

pictures will come up when photobucket gets back from maintenence...

i'm running on QFM HPX pads aswell, loved them when i had them with slotted rotors. been on them for over a year now.. much better then EBC greens.

where were all you guys when i was tracking,, most of the time it was just me and a heap of civic boys.. nice to see that theres more and more of you guys getting into it now, good stuff keep it up ;)

in with the new...

what im concerned about are the pads on the left side didn't bed in properly... but hopefully with a few days of driving they will eventually bed the whole width of the pad. its getting there now just a few hundred more kms. im guessing the slotted rotors will cut them down so they will be flush with the rotors in no time ;)

ok. today was fun...

went to eviltwin's place to get the gearbox fluid changed to Castrol Syntrax 75W90 with the Nulon G70 fluid inside. We also got solid metal bushings replacing the gear selector cables. Was surprised how easy it was! should have did it myself! DOH!

Shifting feels more direct and notchy than the rubber bushings that were inside. when we got them out one of them was pretty worn out. Some noise was generating in the chassis on the way back home and upon quick inspection, the washers that were making the rattling noise.

maybe i'll get some rubber washers to be put in between to stop the rattling noise.

big thanks to eviltwin for the help. now i can change my own gearbox oil in another 50,000 or so :)

today went to get the O-rings in the plumbing section. also had to fill in with another washer to full in the gap between the cable bearings and the lock pin. and no more rattling noise from 3k + rpm ;)

the order of the washers were this: rubber > gear selector bearing > rubber > small washer > big washer > lock pin

PORN GEARBOX AND PORN SHIFTING!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

ROH Turismos :D

16x7, offset +40? (they fit on my car no worries) ;)

one of them has bad scratches but they are for the track anyways so i'm not fussed. Though i would like these in white or bronze colour :ninja: will get these checked by a professional tomorrow to see if there are any structural damages on the rims

Now to wrap them in semis... and get coils for the track :D

I thought Peter/Duy said he bought them? lol anyway

They look good for 200 bucks! You should paint them black but I'm biased lol. What semi's you gonna use? What's the next target time? Guni did a 1.50/51 with RE55S's chasing me earlier in the year

haha i think your getting mixed up dude... it's Tim/Duy who bought them :P

I should get photoshop going before i powdercoat/paint them. did guni have coils back then? i don't think i will put them on until i sort my coils out. i don't want my side walls to be destroyed like last track day :(

i will be getting federals RSRs 205/50/r16 for 200 bucks a corner including fitted balance and alignment. I think it's a good price :)

as for the time, i might try to shave a couple more seconds off this time with my current set up. even changing the tires changes the way it handles so i'll try to minimise the mods and work on my skill/lines next time i'm there ;)

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
