Don't have any of those lying about and don't want to solder up any of my new jets. and have the skill to mash up a/c jets real good as all my E1 jets have found out.
Want the fuelling to be 11.9-12.1 ish so it'll be nice and safe. but need 20 psi again. 1.3 main might be the way forward then I'll find out Thursday.
Well, got all my jobs done then popped my HG whilst setting up Must be det related as fueling was spot on 11.5/12.2 afr at 24psi manifold I think it might have been down to a split vac pipe going to the aei.
Anyways i have managed to sort out some time over the next few days to change the HG and carry on setting up. don't want anymore boost just for it to not pop HG'S every five mins
what time u getting dwn there for on thursday eve brigsy? we should be there for 9ish so will call u for a couple of jars
I'm getting pretty excited about this now, especially as I also have Thursday off work. This weekend will consist of zero sleep - Got a friends party Saturday night too, eek.

just managed to fit aem wideband and new sump as was leaking loads of oil out!!! fingers crossed its stopped leaking, just bought a carb of forum so guna fetch it with me to play with on day!!!! hope some of you can give me ideas how to sort my fueling problems out...........plz oh and pressure lost at wastegate lol its doing my head in
guna get tent ready, beer and b&q packed..... just fuel to sort and im ready to show GOO what pods all about!!!
excited to match faces to names too.
It's running again now, the ingnition timing has been put back to standard, niether the gasket or valves/plugs showed any signs of det, the gasket looked bran new still. I did have the incorrect washers on the head and some of them had mushroomed slightly. Who knows??
On thursday evening i have to re-tourq the head re-set the valve clearances give it a flush through a few times with some cheap oil ( i didn't drain the coolant properly when i took the head off and some has made it's way into the oil) then pray it will make it to pod!
Mr AA mans on speed dial!
Bedded in rings now .Compression tested .Bank A good , Bank B a bar better
Hopefully the drive down to Pod will settle things in nicely .I won't have much space for shop stuff though as I'll be packing a full toolkit .
I will have to take some lemsips. I've got plague.
I've got a cracking dose of Man-flu. I'm never ill, this is doing my loaf in
Still, I've finished work now until next week, so I suppose I had better get the car cleaned, ready for it's 'Sammy special' photoshoot, and fill my nice big boot with beer and tent
my to do list...
set alarm for 6am
turn key
was all ready for pod and looking forward to meting every one friday but due to my dad haveing heart problem's and just been taken to hospital again im not sure if i can make it what a bummer been working on my car all week with him 2 hopefully see you let friday fingers crossed
just thought i'd ad.
REMEMBER TO BRING SOME BEER if your camping, every year theres people trying to leave the pod after the guards have locked us in for the night..
dont be a no beer nigel...
id say this bit of info should get its own thread, last year some poor guy had a gulf of loggs chilli booka as they ran out of booze
Thanks to Handy Andy mine is now up and running and ready to go but I'm not racing, anybody need a track pass?
What can I say, Sam, that box just suited my driving style. I never ever crunched a gear in that car. Mind you, I only ever gave it a full on 6k rpm launch once the whole time I owned it and that was well before I did the engine... Proper quick off the line though, made all 4 wheels spin.
I did my vvt inlet sprocket on the Nissan earlier, easiest 45 minutes work ever... Nissan quote 3 hours or something, retards. It won't benefit performance though, it just stops the car from sounding like a 250k mile diesel engine when it's warm.
Just in the process of cleaning the 172...then giving the car a once over for fluid levels, fuel up...pack Adeys spoiler which I'm tempted to steal ...
I'll no doubt be awake at the crack of dawn ( no pun intended ) with an excited 3.5yr old waiting to go on a road trip with her dad
JUst tidying my car up and changing the oil ... was gonna set up tappets but ill leave them as they are now .....
Cant decide whether to take the back seats out and leave them home with my parcel shelf .........?
i also have a strut brace in my garage ..... presume it would be no use at the pod .... just on the track ...... is that right ???
Well after doing a gearbox swap today, fitting new exhaust, downpipe and stiff rear engine mount plus sort out those bloody boost pipes i am all done and ready for tomorrow!
Quite rare for me to say that!
I've just got to wash the car and clean the engine bay again. As I had the alternator die on the way back from getting some oil so have oilly marks every where. .
waterpump change this evening!!!
again, last minute repairs... exhaust still blowing... just sealed with heat silicone (again).. hopefully will last tomorrow....
i was,
clutch has packed up, slipping in every gear now.
new ones been ordered but will take a week or so as im having it made.
have fun guys.
just got in now from driving back from the lake district, retourqed headbolts/re set valve clearances/flushed out the oil 5 times! Got a load of coolant in it when i took the head off.
Then when i was driving home the alt belt went through a heater matrix hose! Just spend 30 mins bodging that, shower time now then a few hours kip, got to set off at 5am tmoz, still need to bleed the coolant give it a wash and vac, fuel up and im away :-)
well, i'm awake, so thats a good start. If only i could dress myself.
I slept well last night as the car is running and I have confedense in it
Just gotta get all me food packed and load the car and am off
Hope all you guys and girls have a great time and don't break anything or set fire to any tree's, that means you big steve!!!!
wish i was going but unfortunately i'm all at sea, why do people want cables surveyed when there's important event's to be attended?!!!!
Does anyone know what time this goes on till this eve? I may try to cut work early and drive up.
