Hi all,

I've been working on a car blog all about cars and the enjoyment of throwing them around corners. I've got a few regular sections going like car porn, tips & tricks, rants and my latest being tracks & roads where I overview racetracks and b roads mixed in with an interview of a regular at the track. The first one was just published and it features Chris (evil_weevil - a NSW Exec) who was very accommodating and insightful. The track chosen was Oran Park. Check out his interview here:

I've got another interview in the works now and that features Phillip Island and anther MX5 racer but you'll have to wait and see who that is when it's finished. :)

Would appreciate your feedback on all this as I'm totally noob but giving it a go. It's all a bit of fun and I'm enjoying blogging even though I haven't had a single comment. haha. I intend to try to cover some overseas tracks in the coming months but thought it's best to start locally to work out a suitable template before I approach foreigners. In a way evil_weevil is my guinea cop. :lol:

If you think you would like to participate in one of these interviews and you know a road/track well enough to say a few words drop me a pm for a chat.

Cheers

Nice work :)

Tell Chubbs he's an idiot... they're called Federal 595's not 535's :P

EDIT: I am wrong, Chubbs is right, I'm stupid. He's smart. He's the best. I'm the worst. He's very good-looking. I'm not attractive.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
