Nice cars

Iv been doin the kalmaker tune path as well but it took to long to turn up and I know haltechs are decent these days but I still have a few top end tuners telling me to stay away from them as they are a cheap solution to the kalmaker, old lap top issues

I have instead sent my harness to ultimate conversion wiring and for $1200 gets it modified to run a a LS ecu and comes back complete set up with ecu and ready to plug in and tune with any LS soft where and for closer to $2k can have a brand new harness made

Iv had 2 top end tuners tell me to do the LS ecu before using a haltech and iv only asked 3

The 3rd is still waiting for kalmaker ecu to be made and delivered

It is a lot of work that’s for sure

Have you sold the aero roller yet ??

Should get low 10s now been a bit lighter, are you caging this one?

I started this couple weeks ago, this is 11 years of me molestering the under dash of my car

At first I though I could fit it all into the glove box and it started of great, it really did, but at about 70% completion it just started getting out of hand and this is like 90% and I just thought nope this is shit and just as bad

So out come the heater box and fan

Have few thing a screwed up, water meth harness is perfect length so it only needs power through a relay triggered from excesories

Will post pics once completed

I recently had a go at fixing all the wiring under my dash and fitting every thing into the glove box

It started out great then it just got to crowded and hectic so it was a epic fail

Iv bit the bullet

Iv removed the heater box and fan and fitted this mounting board and starting on my process of fitting every thing to this

I’ll unwrap, label and tuck up all plugs that are not used once I get every thing screwed up and mounted and start making this tangled mess a nice lot of wiring perfection

Once I can see what room I have I’ll probley move my relays from boot up here as well

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Yes totally agree

Doesn’t matter what event it is it’s more about the atmosphere been there

That’s why it didn’t bother me with the f1 in Melbourne weather the race is a perfectly executed no safety car no crashes Aussie looses race

Yeah sure it would of been boring on tv but I was sitting at the start line as all of them took of and watched the 2.6 second tyre changes and stuff

Who cares that’s only 1 hour of the event, it was more about been there having some drinks, seeing roulette jet and Boeings fly over with motor x guys doin stupid shit and bands every where and just the vibe of been there for the day

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Didn’t even see this thread
I did go and it is always good to go to the event as a whole weekend but comparing f1 at the moment to past f1 isnt worth it because they are currently shit

No other way to put it

Maybe it’s like comparing holden vs ford with ford been current and 2014 f1 and holden been 2013 and earlier f1 cars

They sound shit
And they are slow

I mean 650hp come on the worlds fastest cars and 650hp don’t belong in the same sentence

I had a food blender recently and uped it from 240v to 3 phase and it had 650hp

The lap recorded was set by Schumacher in 2004 at 1:24.125

This year I believe was 1:32.6 was fastest lap I could be wrong

And shoot out times where 1:34 – 1:37

And you got to remember they are Corning just as fast as they use to so that 8-10 seconds is lost in full throttle section of the track

That’s piss weak in my oppion

It’s just the cars are not fast enough, I know they want to make it so it’s competitive but that’s just not the way F1 should be

they should have 1000+hp
at least enough fuel to do the race flat out
Enough tyres so they keep traction and not have to stretch it out
They should be faster then the human so if someone is a better drive it shows
And if the driver isnt good enough he ends up off the track

Not this consistent crap where if you miss a turn once it’s hard to gain it back

Iv heard in 2017 they are ditching the v6 poo engines and goin back to v8,v10 or v12 and back to 4 figger power range

You will see what I mean at the Monaco GP Gary

They had a 2009 F1 car I think it was doin the car challenge thing and you could physically see it was faster just watching it

Holly shit I just burned my eyes after looking at the bottom left pic of the above

Do me a favour
Slop windscreen to a lower angle
Extend door and pillar further back
Slop back windscreen more
Chop roof a little lower

Then show me again

I like this thread all ready

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Did you get reply ??

I sent reply yesterday

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

That is a good idea indeed

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Factory ecu only drives high Impedence

Any aftermarket ecu will drive low Impedence and aparntly it has much better band witch control for idle features and stuff

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Are yes yes

Arm well manifold can go for $50

And rochesters 80lbs $250 the set of 8

That’s $31 each, I paid about $80 each

Brand new never been used, have only been fitted back when I was building set up but then didn’t use haltech ecu so had to switch out to high Impedence injectors

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

It’s a shame

I would love to run mine on it but coming in at $500-600 for 200 litres drums it’s just to expensive

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Are brisvagas I’m in mackay so won’t be to much on freight

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]
