What an angry angry engine, Finally got it to run after a hell of a lot of dicking around. Man i seriously felt like pushing it in to the back yard and parking it permanently. Thank god some young fellas have more patience than me.

Mick and shane plugged away while i went and sulked and before you know it its idling and it sounds like armagedon.

Wonder how many mufflers you can fit to a gtst.

Shane and i drove it round the block and all systems appear to be working, brakes are an issue. hard hard pedal and very average stopping power.

Hopefully it goes on the dyno tomorrow , Mick the magician can cast his spell on it and make it quiet as a church mouse with a gazillionty horsepower. :P

That sounds farken stoopidly horny old man, shotgun a straight line run in it. i dont want to go round corners with you with that much power.

Just make sure you dont break it.

So what was the problem anyway?

Can it be told or?

Sure mate, No secrets here. It wasnt one problem as such but several very annoying stupid niggles.

Wrong injectors first, then a crook afm, then a dodgy signal wire from the afm to the puda, then a cas niggle. It was really starting to piss me off. On top of that the puda didnt recognise any of the engine settings till magic Mick tapped out several different sets of new numbers on the lappy and away it went.

It hasnt been tuned yet, but hopefully that will happen today. The numbers are all safe for me to at least mosey it around to the workshop and thats excactly what i will do shortly.

Sick!!

can i push the accelerator at some stage??? while stationary of course.

Its kewl dude, i've seen you drive remember. :thumbsup:

yeah true, did you still want to take a ride in mine to check the suspension?

just letting you know after talking with a few people, if mine doesnt come up to scratch i will prob be looking to put SK's gear in it. but if mines ok then it'll stay, but my ride height is gaying up my handling atm...which is kinda surprising how it will handle when it is set right.

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
