Nah, I gave it a rolling start at about 10kph, revved it to about 6500-7000rpm and then just dumped it. Very cool. A big chirp and then, like magic, I was reaching for second. I happens oh so fast!

btw, J is on dialup... so you will have to wait for a while b4 he post again...  

either that or he is outside playing with his new alarm and immobilizer :D

That and I am trying to flick back to my report writing every now and again.

Btw Glenn, I think you lost that battle

yea kinda catches u off guard huh?? the chirp and then u're redlining 1st n grabbing for second...kinda makes u look like a mad man driving from outside...

The guy is still installing, there is two 3 point systems to put in. Its pretty tricky, as well as movement, shock, tilt sensors and auto window wind up thing and every door, the bonnet and the boot are monitored for opening. Pretty cool.

looking at about 200k, year 2002 n of course 34

yeah... but if you do your honours, that will have to wait then.

i am waiting for may to come so that we can all bring our cars to the track. it would be interesting to see yours and J's together. you can request for that ya noe.

yrs got more power and J's got more handling.... should be very exciting to see.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
