Me=the bridesmaid needing the emergency dress fitting - when I went to pick it up earlier in the week it didn't quite fit in the right places. The wedding is this week and I'm guessing the bride wouldn't have been happy with me turning up at the church with a plate of leftovers instead of my dress :thumbsup:

Hope it was a good dinner anyways- definitely in for the next one.

Arent you coming to dinner Nick? .......soft!

I had to drop my old man and my cousin at the Santana concert. I was then gonna go from there up the coast, as per the usual Thursday night, but decided I CBF'd, so instead I went back to Homebush (Acer Arena) to pick them up.

weak sauce!

but apart from that it was a top night. Radio Cairo is definitely added to rotation as part of the SAU dinner venue stable. food was excellent, price was right, beer was cold. nice.

I completely forgot sorry. More important things on my mind.. like picking up the only power fc left for my engine type :turned:

ps. what's in the vine leaves? I've always wanted to know.

well ever since I found out merlin can count to 11ty I've put my mathemagic in the bin and I'm going to hit him up for some lessons.

umm we just had one there and you didn't come to that one either :):yes:

That's because I was in Melbourne!!! I was due to come back the day after and I had only just saw it after I booked my flights..

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
