time to quit work, set up a shed and go full time...

this shits real...

what tidying things up and reselling them?

what tidying things up and reselling them?

yeah sort of, more of a restoration project.

started with 2 bikes the same with the ambition of having one good one and the other as a parts/scrap bike.

but ended up finding enough bits via ebay & other online sales in Europe to make both return to former glory.

sold them both for double what they cost me, so it was pretty profitable.

but money made is better discussed over coffee between gentlemen & not online ;)

im only dreaming about doing it full time, i think 4-5 hours a week is considered a hobby.

I think if I did more than that it would be less about the fun i have doing it and more about paying bills.

Morning Mangs,

Monday :(

Happy Laps yesterday was a great success. Much more fun weaving through traffic than being in open air, or in an XF, which was my last two happy laps sessions.

It was fun. i wasnt doing the weaving tho as i was being weaved past on numerous occasions! But that didnt bother me as it was awesome. Was fun going down the front straight with the sun blearing in your eyes at 180kph and not seeing anything in front.

I agree. Its good practice for future reference eh Smitz. :thumbsup:

Car is having weired electrical problems today...

In other news, seeing as how I don't have anything better to do this week, who wants to go whale watching at some point in time?

I'd be keen, any day.

I'll swing by around 3pm. Is that fine? Later/earlier isn't an issue either so let me know what's best for you.

done and noted.

Did some investigating today, looks like the loom under my drivers side front guard is 100% cactus, even after the repairs to it that Dan did for me. Looks like I found the cause of my electrical issues :(

What does the loom do? I though most of the time the ones in the guards were to do with headlights and indicators.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
