Disappoint I wanted to fire up my 'running' flathead to show off to the Morrie Club this weekend, but don't need trans fluid all over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AllTorque 40,910 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Rubber glove and electrical tape works too. I have seen those trans plugs in nz before, just can’t remember where. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AllTorque 40,910 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 As long as the output shaft isn’t spinning it will be fine. Fluid level may not be that high anyway. What about trans cooler lines? Are you going to loop it? Does the starter bolt to the trans? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'll just clamp a bit of hose on the cooler ports Need to block the speedo drive hole (as I found out last night while lifting it) 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ajg193 8,907 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Anyone else notice up to 10% difference in fuel consumption between chipseal and asphalt road surface? Could be a good way to get a nice virtual Dyno boost @Roman 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roman 13,367 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 10% is quite a bit of difference It's easy to test though, do some coast down tests in neutral and look at decel rate on both surfaces Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajg193 8,907 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Here is some data for a Volvo (brick): I feel like for something significantly more aerodynamic the fuel consumption numbers would be affected far more by surface roughness Max difference at each speed for that graph: 50 km/h : 3.6% 60 km/h : 7.2% 70 km/h : 7.6% Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ajg193 8,907 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Talking about tyres, I'm gonna get a new set on the Starlet today. Out with the fantastic Yoko A539s and in with hopefully good Falken 912s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsnz123 4,001 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 How anal does one need to get as far as tyres go on a street car? like as long as they don't slip in the wet like Super Meows or are noisy and mushy like Hiflys, you're golden. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
