ok so just went and had another look at the idle jets, i have a 45 primary and 50 secondary. this should be pretty perfect and definitely not present the issues i have. so full run down on whats going on since ive been all over the place. i cannot get the carb to idle at any speed, i expect if i went to something crazy like 3k it would but thats just stupid. in order to keep the engine running i need to PUMP the gas pedal. when driving it feels jerky when on the primary and when i open the secondarys up i get a spluttering sound that reminds me of a modern drift cars rev limiter or something along those lines. when i wind out the primary idle jets holder bolt i can get a pretty smooth idle and really nice performance from the carb, just i get run on/dieseling and i noticed that the engine can actually start to spin backwards. besides, those bolts are supposed to be wound right in. might also put this in place of the first post.

tacho definitely set to 4, but like i say could be incorrect anyway HOWEVER today, i made up some new gaskets for the carby and gave it a nice tune up (just the carby so far, since i cant get parts to do other stuff yet) and it will now rev out to about 5000-5200 if i pushed it.

that trailer provides inspiration..

ahhhuh! i just did a small amount of googleing and the truth is somewhat in the middle, the 2zz has a basic system where the rpm for power cam coming on is 6200 and the rpm for dropping down to econo-cam is 5800, to give it more of an operational range. sorry for the thread hijack, however you don't come across many exige owners

sounds like a fair plan, as soon as i can get some bolts, im ready to bolt in my weber and tune that, so ill do everything at once and see if it helps, also any other opinions and possible issues?

oh yeah i know what the rev limiter is, this was a seemingly odd system, that when the 2zz is on its power cams, the ecu wont let the engine rev under 6200 when shifting gears or letting off the gas, thus switching to econo-cam mode. and to me this sounds about as desirable as a throttle jamming on mid turn, but logically thinking, its a sports car and it must work to a certain degree.

i have a small after market tacho, and the red line actualy moves, so not that, its that natural point where i feel the engine shouldn't go further. its entirely possible the tacho is wrong mind you, but would a physical problem cause a seemingly low redline but still provide the right feeling for a redline? i guess also possible, is that the redline is supposed to be about 4200.

This has been something hanging on my mind for a while, my car seems to redline at ~4000 rpm, it sounds like its at its limit, but 4k seems really low to me, its a Toyota 18r, any input?

oo i see, very nice, guess ill have to put some effort and google the anti rev limiter

So on my aircraft engineering course, we were shown a video of one of these out maneuvering an Apache helicopter gunship with Jeremy Clarkson driving it, made me pretty jealous of you. however he said it runs a vtec style system with the economy and power cams etc.. but he claims it has some kinda system that wont let it drop below the 6200rpm level for the power cams, i assume it magically knows when you want the power and when you want to keep the fuel in the tank. how does this work and how does it feel driving with what sounds like an anti rev limiter and driving with the accelerator jammed on.

crash starting is very hard on clutch and drive train, if i were you i would try and rig up some sort of starter anyway, even modify an electric starter from a scooter? my similar project has one and its makes it so easy to start

unsure on the two tone.. will reserve judgement till its fully built up however..

^ want

so so sweet

ive used the 3m filler primer and the 3m high temp paint, seemed pretty good to me

^possibly true, ive only used them once, but i knew exactly what i needed and they got it down from auckland for me for free

each to their own, but i feel that an owners attitude and destroy the appeal of a car to me, however i have the same appeal destroyed when someone mixes brands of engine/body, so who knows.

are these the kinda kids with rich daddy's that will buy their precious little child anything they wish? if so, let them stack them into trees like the kids at my school did, laugh and carry on with your life, if they worked their asses off for them, then thats some damn good work, take them to the strip, and video it for us,

i like how you save the sled first and worry about why he let go for some unknown, probably horrible reason, second

no a in Autolign, but they are very good

does anyone have a small scooter muffler laying around they wish to get rid of?

keen for space saver dualies

im planing on trying to organise a pretty big cruise, potentially multi club, as i and a couple of members have very briefly talked about, since i couldn't go on this one. i would set it up for around about a month away, and input would be great, i will probably set up a new thread soon

colours should be white and red imo, maybe respray the rims red too

wheelie bars, front, rear and side? front brakes please
