Hey crew,

Just letting you know that I am in Perth and have found out we already have 42 people booked for the 5th of June. I think it is being capped at 50.

Get your scates on if you are interested and call me.

unfortunately I've come across a spot of a cash-flow problem, and as a result my motorsport hobby is on hold :D and my track car is for sale (see link in sig) :bunny:

I don't know a cheaper way to get these kind of lap times - Wakefield 1:07.40, Mt Cotton 46.33 (under IPRA record), Conrod Supersprint 49.47

Not too late for someone to snap it up and enter Superlap...

Hey John what ya reckons will we beat the slot car. We just might have ya lol. :P

bummer on selling your little weapon harry. you are right under $20K to get those sort of times is one hell of a bargain. especially in a car that could be road registered as well. the best part is with relatively smally brakes and wheels and a fairly light car the tyre and brake bills wont send you broke! so it would be a cheap car to race as well as cheap to buy. i'm sure you wont have a problem finding a new home for it. :P if I had space and money it would be on my shortlist no doubt about it.

thanks guys. yep, 400hp and about 900kg does equal alot of smiles anytime you drive it.

kinda hoping it doesn't sell and hopefully I'll get to use it again by the end of the year. so many places I want to take this car and get some laptimes. If I get the job I applied for last week, the car will definitely be coming off the market.

    • 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.
