hey mchpm - glad things worked out mate! betcha you were crapping yourself for a while there! Unfortunately for me a downed bunch of branches from a palm tree directed water straight into my garage, down the stairs to my laundry, and down another couple of stairs into my lounge room...

in my 30's... but t30's are the new 20's!

replied. If anyone else has one Im still after one.

We pick up the gearbox from the courier depot tonight! Which means gearbox goes in on Thursday night so axles can be ordered and it'll get weighed in 2 weeks so we can order springs. It looks like about 4 weeks till dyno day! woohoo!

Hey all, Anyone got a power steer pump they're not using or may be hoarding? The one on the racecar doesnt sound healthy at all!!! I dare suggest its about to have a coronary. Prefer pickup in Sydney, but will pay for postage from anywhere!

Ive got a mate who can very neatly tig aluminium cans together... and I thought that was bloody impressive!!!

At first glance I though they were secondary injectors, only used at real high rpm... but with no primary injectors this thing must be pig to drive to work!

*sn1gger* The B Series honda engines looooove to rev hard. The S2000 motor has a stock factory redline of 9,000!!!! and even with the vtec make their power high in the rev range. but 50hp gain? If that was the case then why didnt honda do it?

Thanx peewee! Wonder what sort of temp its gonna hit on the dyno... cant wait to find out! haha!

Im gonna assume you've got no plans to get it street registered...

Hey all, Ive setup my thermo's to run at between 80 and 85 DegC. Not having actually driven it yet Im not sure if its gonna stay at this temp or not, but one thermo from our twin setup keeps it quite happy between 80 and 85. question is, is this the correct temp range for a 1uz? Or more...

we bought the platinum jobbies new a few weeks back, almost fell over at the price! Cheap nasties seem like a good idea to me.

hehe... yeah - cold crank and low temp do still need to be dialed down a bit... the plugs are the platinum jobbies that came in the car stock. any recommendations on what to use to clean them? I was going to just use WD40 or brake cleaner or something with a wire brush etc. Sound ok?

Hey all, Our car is still on the "just get me fired" tune which means its running stupendously rich. Fire it up and you get fluid out the exhaust, lots of black smoke and eyes watering so much you could solve the aussie water crisis... So we fired the car, testing bits and peices a few...

Gotta love a happy ending. :)

We're using VL Turbo pump - happily sitting at 40psi at idle. My suggestion would be to price a new one from a spares shop before buying 2nd hand though.

actually, a mate just suggested rather than stretching the spring you should place washers underneath it, that way its 1) easier to tune and 2) adjustable for track to track. IE low speed twisty you could add an extra one in, for high speed you could take one out. Does this sound plausible?

Got a bit more info overnight, evidently the rack (pic below) loves flow, not nec stupid amounts of pressure, but flow is the key. From what I gather above the mods re springs and drilling it out will increase pressure as well as flow. We'll try them all and go slowly. Mod 1 - stretch the...

I'd soooo love a street legal beach buggy... *sigh*

Im assuming (and its ONLY an assumption) that you can get thicker sleeves for them - someone would make them. Resleeving correctly is good $$$ though... Esp for an alloy engine.
