QFT, she's bang'n hot.

I flat out agree

QFT, she's bang'n hot.

Colin, our downhill rides aren't completely crazy, the bike im currently on is a little too small to really push hard on but its good fun and the pace is alright. New bike buildup will be better for harder runs, im currently limited to how big my tyres can be on the current one cause of the frame width.

Martin the disc's you got at the moment will be ok for what we do, when i first started the norco was running V brakes all around which was great until you got dirt, or mud, or water into them then you couldn't stop without using your feet.

I need to get riding again. I did a fair bit of damage when I was younger. busted jaw, concussion, busted hand, ruptured lining in my ear, severely corked thigh, etc... Bankging about on a Trek 850 (cross country frame) with triple clamp RST Mozo pros, XTR derailer sets, shimano directional hubs, etc.

Today was a very long day for me, but made even funnier by one of the mechanic's failed attempt to rebuild an engine, no spark on cylinder 5 hahah

Forgot to do the bolts up on the end cap?

Ohhhhhhh I heard about that last year and have wanted to try it ever since!

I'm ashamed to say that lately though I haven't been hitting hot curries much. I can eat a medium one at the moment but that's about as hot as I can get. Go back about a year or so and I was eating shit-hot vindaloos for breakfast without dramas. f**k I love my dads curries.

I'm off camping at a hippy rave out west this weekend (haha!) but I'd be keen if it's next weekend though? Or is it already set in stone for this weekend?

Get a bit of Curry in ya! Have fun you Hippy!

i dont think ill be able to this weekend so im keen for a reshuffle. if not ill got out n watch miso try it but wont be trying it myself. we can always go back again the burgers are pretty good there.

hotstuff date redate? In for redate.

Dear Scott,

Can you please detail my car either friday night or saturday?

Pretty please ;)

I'll come to you if you like, or you can come here, whatever you prefer

Love

McFly

Hey McFly, Nice set of wheels.... Friday Night could be a goer.

i am easy on the burger date. a re-shuffle doesn't bother me, as it gives me some time to eat some hot food and hopefully get in practice for the burger.

in all honesty, i don't eat a lot of hot food, so am aware that i will fail miserably, but still want to give it a shot.

hotstuff date redate? In for redate..... wait, haven't we done this before? :)

Spotted this the other day

lol'd

That's an ugly car.......

Wait, you're talking about gramps on his L plates.....

Morning mangs.

Wow, I f*cked that up last night. This:

I like your attitude

Was in response to this:

Moaning. Lucky bastard!

We shall see how the coke goes. I am using the JD as both medication and relaxtion

Reason I am home is because I hurt my neck over the weekend. Can't turn my head left or look up.

Looking around is overrated anyway

Time for rehab? :cool:

Rehab is for people that have a problem

on a side note, drinks will have to slow down as I might have a game on at 8:30

might have to hit a few valium as i still can't turn my head too much.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
