Dude... this is not a Who's going to heathcote thread.

This is about membership. Dont whore it please

As far as the "watch this space" sentence in the first post goes this is still on for Sunday! Is this still the case? Id still be keen to do so but would need to know before the end of the working day as I won't see a pc again for a few days!

Sorry all - been far to busy at work this last week. Bloody marketing rush for 1st term '04 products. Stupid schools...

Yes - with crappy weather and no real notice of location, might be best to put it back until next week for an official meeting. I'm still keen on the idea of Emerald Lake. Is a nice place :(

Also, we haven't had a chance to finalise the NPO accounting details, so would just be more of the same meeting type stuff anyway.

Plus - AKT has arranged a go-cart day on this Sat, so perhaps a good chance to talk more there?

So... my homework shall be arranging a map and stuff for Emerald Lake. Sorting NPO stuff (Ash - Thursday next week?) and, uh... perhaps keeping people more up to date :)

I hope I can make it next week as racing was postponed due to bad weather and not being able to get enough testing done in time.

I may end up racing next week instead. If that's the case, please take notes and sign me up as a Vic SAU member.

I think it's time to give nahtan a call and see where he's at lol!

But yea, next week should be ok. If not the week after, i've got a day off then for other accountant visits so that could work.

either way.

Emerald lake next weekend sounds good.

    • 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.
