So what gives Carlo???? Sun morn bout 130am, you got pole position at the lights on Pac Hwy at St Leonards near RNSH. I come out from the RNSH lights, notice ya, give ya a wave and honk the horn irratically and...you ignore me????!!! hahahahaha

Or were you thinking,"who is this idiot driving the ambulance honking stupidly at!! "

Next time I guess ill have to swerve at ya, light everything up and put the siren on to get ya attention perhaps!!

Skyzer was looking neat BTW. Did i miss another cruise??????? :D:(:D

So true! Im living proof that YOU CAN DRIFT a diesel traction controlled intercooled garrett turbo mercedes van/ice cream truck!!!! Ahhhh, but the old days of the F series.....................................i need a video camera mounted on the dash....then again maybe not!!!! :D

Hey dude.. I hope it was not me, because Sunday morning at 1:30am I was in the city with some friends.

If it was Saturday morning at 1:30 then yeah that would have been me, , must have been day dreaming again. It could have been the one where I am lining up at the starting line for the nurburgring.

Shall keep an eye out for drifting ambo's when around that area dude, next time you see me especially if its at night give the sirens a bit of a toot and I will see you for sure.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
