  1. Fuck that looks cool Manu, good job.
  2. How shit are these things actually? I promised myself I would never own another British car after the jag, but I have a pine on for series landys.

    Haha I assumed everyone knew about soft interface pads, but you make a good point mentioning them, hand sand as little as possible.

    Your paint man is on the money Sheepers.
  5. Slacker Cam had a similar problem, I dunno why 4gaes get so hot. His solution was to replace China cooler with actual good one (Setrab was what I think he uses) was good for about 15 degrees cooler I think. But definitely use the best full synthetic you can as it deals with the heat way better. As a side note it is lol looking at his data logs and seeing the direct inverse correlation between oil temp and oil pressure.
  6. Basically it comes down to how skilled you are. You an buy aerosport strut bags for the front, and some normal ones for the back, for my car these cost about $650 us, so call it $1000 nz. Then you need valves,compressor, air tank, lines, gauges, water trap, switches, wiring, mounting kits etc, and that can cost from $800 to $2500 depending on what you buy. Basically if you dont want to hop use 1/4" lines and valves, otherwise it'll be too quick.
  7. Good job sprak! You should be well stoked with 150 whp. That afr trace is the reason efi is better than carbs hahaha. But with more tuning you should be able to get it spot on. It looks like it could use different emulsion tubes the way it is climbing up like that. Also that dip looks like its right in the spot where the pilot and main jets change over, but it is hard to tell from the internet. What is idle and low load afrs like? The only thing is that if highway speeds are right in the bottom of the valley you might end up fouling plugs on the motorway, which would be lol and stink all at the same time! Anyway, do a skid ya cunt!
  8. I would be genuinely surprised if they picked it up, but just argue with them as you are allowed +/-5%.
  9. Keen to see you 2 stepping and flat shifting Roman, make it happen son.
  10. Any one with a e manage, does it adjust the air pressures constantly on the fly? Ie does it pump up the outside bags on hard cornering?
  11. I have often wondered how hard it would be to make a controller out of an ardiuno, obviously I dont have the required coding skills, but surely it could be done for less than the $1300 the off the shelf ones cost?
  12. Don't give up on your dreams Alex, v12 or bust...
  13. Segidens(sta parts) was sweet and beat everybody by a good amount when I bought rings, bearings, and gaskets for the Kent.
  14. Four stroking is a distinct burbling at wot under no load (easiest way to find it without doing damage), if you want to know what it sounds like look up chainsaw tuning videos on YouTube. Sounds like you are still way too lean, one clip on the needle shouldn't make too much difference.
  15. I would just put a por15 tank sealer kit through it and paint the outside.
  16. My bet is the cheap reg/flow meter will be wrong. Also 8l/m is Fucken heaps, I used to weld on 4 or 5l/m Also you will never get the theoretical weld time out of a bottle due to stop start and variations in temp etc.
  17. Seeings as he is an engineer I think they'll be alright...
  18. Man all this talk of $500 distributors makes efi look even more attractive, scrap all of your dinosaur tech junk folks and come to the dark side...
  19. Maybe try and find a new dizzy cap? What car is this for btw?
  20. I'm not entirely convinced, I would tend to go with something that has a bit better market recognition, but maybe they do have that in Ireland? Any stand alone ECU will make your engine run without the security getting in the way, so that isn't really a concern. Me personally would go something from the megasquirt range, but that is just my preference. Any of the ECU company's should be able to provide something that will work. So my advice is find someone local that knows an ECU and use one of those, because nothing is worse than trying to diagnose ECU problems over the internet/email/phone.
  21. You won't need to change the coil but you will need resistor spark plugs (they have a r in the model ie bpr6s), and then just normal plug leads that fit the dizzy cap will be the go.
  22. I had a look at this just now, who put you onto them? I cant see a cost easily either, so what are they worth? Is there any reason why you wouldn't just go with link? (Maybe cost is the reason) They probably work fine but it seems a bit of an unknown to me.
