Hope all is well with John, Tim and Co.

where am I gonna take my car now, they know it all too well :)

Huge fire started in the hoby shop and appears dodgy wiring from previous tenants started it. Doubling up multiple double adapters in a sealed front cabinet. The intense heat actually bent huge RSGs where the main fire was in the hoby shop which relocated early this year to the opposite end of the building upstairs.

Our office was fairly dry from water from above just wet on floor there so lucky I guess. Paul your car was one of the first out.

Late yesterday have the phones working although operating from dyno room. Showroom power should be up today and workshop not too far behind. Our side of the building is OK structrally although may be some distruption whilst building above. The engineers are coming today to check it out and advise and a chance they may have to fence it all off which will be very bad.

So phones working, fax working, and workshop operating in part out of dyno room mainly, until power comes back on. Orders being processed from today. Thanks for everyones support. We will only be bigger and better after this and keep smiling.

My sister is constantly doing deliveries to the printers in that same complex and told me about it. She gave me the same information that John has posted, possible dodgy wiring within the hobby shop's premises. Apparently the current owner of the hobby shop was emotionally gutted as he had a lot of personal items stored there, including some models he had built when he was young(er)...

She took this shot of the place and sent it to me. Not a great shot because it's from a phone, but it gives you some idea...

Good to hear it's had minimal effect on UAS, John.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
