Also need to find out from you guys, i am a novice to the track scene and need to know what you guys do to prep up for it eg. extra engine oil for topping up after, better brake pads etc. I am calculating the costs and see if i can get the Stivo prepped before the 5th Oct. I drive a stock Stivo except a Strutbar and K&N filter mod so would be good to baseline with the GTI180 and ScreaminRollas Stivo.

Cheers,

Zee

Blue_Sportivo_VVTLi will not make it Tuesday the 5thOct. I will be meeting Dave on the humehwy.

My Stivo will be prepped with "nothing", i just had my 10,000km service done a month ago so should not have bits falling off, i hope :huh:

I will have the car better prepared the next time i turn up though, hopefully with some mods too. There is so much to look out for when we run the car on a track. I think i will get oil/water temp gauges the next time.

Hey Qui, what cars are your mates driving?

Just wondering too what happens if it starts to rain heavily? Will be unlikely but can happen.

My "mates" so called has pulled out, one said his missus wouldnt let him (selling his Prelude Vti) the other an S15 nissan 200sx should still becoming... :unsure:

Rain......(prays that there isnt any :rolleyes: )

Unless its Bucketing down ill still be on the way, Wakefield rarely gets rain so if its a little wet it should still be good....

If it rains heavily whilst were there...... :huh: i might give it a go :P but we can just grab a coffee i guess.......... Hello aqua planning hehe

Reports state no rain so it should be good for go :D

Had a great day giving the stivo hell, it was really good to test out all my suspension mods which still werent good enough to keep up with the GTI 180 on semi slicks. Oh and the fuel consumption on the track for my stivo was close to 20L per 100ks.

Heres a couple of pics

Pics look great....

Zee's car look like it's got some serious lean in some corners, but the Pug looks like it sits sooooo flat in comparison to the stivos.... Whay have you done to it QD180?

Heya that was Quick...Nice pics turned out tops Dave... :P

Modswise for the frog, Yes Semi slicks Falken Azenis RT215, i strongly recommend give you so "much" more grip compared to street tyres.

Just beware of the rubber chunks that fly off, or inadvertanly get picked up... i had a massive peice attach itself to my left front throwing my steering out :angry:

Also a Green Cotton air filter...

Apart from that she's a great package already...not much to mess with :lol:

We didnt have anyone time us (should have though???) but viewing some of the video footage im definantly 1-2 seconds quicker than last ime :rolleyes:

but a 1.15 - 1.16ish would be close to it...

Not a bad day at the office at all....

Thanks Dave and Qui for your cameras and video recorder, the pics are awesome :D Cannot believe how much ROLL the stock Stivo has :o :o It felt that way though, i was being thrown around a fair bit trying to get away from or catch up to a Silver Stivo and a Blue Pug 206 :P I reckon we did good lap times out there today just by looking at the state of our tyres and the black lines we left on the track!!!

A Stivo did 1min21 yesterday at Wakefield and the fastest car was an Sti that did 1min17. Too bad we couldn't get actual lap times today but the day was great and i can now pinpoint the Sportivo's weaknesses and work on improving the car :)

A 1min21 ain't bad at all, a Wheels mag in 1999 tetsted a Celica and they ran a 1min21 and that's a pro driving it. The DC2 Type-R in that comparo did a 1min18, Civic Vti-R 1min23, Pug Gti 1min23, Pulsar SSS 1min24, Proton Satria Gti 1min24. Tuned turbo cars and prestige cars are out of our leaque, maybe a stock WRX and Type-R would be fun to run against.

How did you go against the S2000 T-sport?

There was also a Porsche and a V8 Maloo Ute out there. Interestingly, the Maloo couldn't really catch up to the Qui's Pug Gti180 and my Stivo when we were battling hard, and the Maloo finally buckled trying to push too hard and went off road. Maybe he is new to the Ute and Wakefield is a tough track for such high powered RWD cars. We also had a few laps with the Porsche and it only had the advantage in the straights. I went slightly off road a few times pushng too hard to get away from him :P

      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.
