Oh so the laps are timed and everything!? Sounded like a massively fun day, please let us know when the next $50 one is on!!! I'll be there.

Stolen Borrowed from the Supra Forum

1 with the poor 34 in it, and 1 with a little red beast(evil weevil) and a little white beast(too_ much_ boost) on the gas, I had to blow it up to 300% to see though.

Yes, Lou had a moment in his 34 but we managed to get him back on the road after spending most of the afternoon under the car for him as he didnt have any real mechanical aptitude.

After all the mucking around and we rebuilt his intercooler and front end with race tape and had him driving home, we got a call from him saying that he had blown another tyre on the way home and he didnt have a spare.

Given that a towy wanted $600 to come pic him up... Anthony one of Autosports regulars pulled over and lent him one of his semi's to get him home. Poor Lou couldnt turn a trick!

Hopefully we will see Lou at the next Autosports event at Wakefield Park on 9th May

that event above is infact the Wakefield Park event. The next Marulan event will be announced in the next week or so... still not sure about prices but i can assure you it wont ever be $50 again. That was a promo for the new facilities in which Autosports was happy to promote for them

    • 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.
