Brace your ethanol...Melbourne winter is coming

3 minutes to start car this morning

May be seriously considering potentially thinking about possibly switching back to petrol for now

  • Like 1

we all had a lego box as kids.

but shiiiiiit.

have you seen how expensive that shit is nowadays!?

i started asking for star wars lego for xmas.

keep an eye on the kmart sales this stuff gets turned over once a year and Kmart clear theirs for 50-60% off.

last one I got was:

down from 700 to 200

want the death star next, but really hanging for the Ghost busters one coming out this year

Coldest morning since September last year. Some parts reached sub-zero. I think CBD was 4.x degrees; and I think they said Croydon (close enough) was pretty close to zero iirc.

For a brief instant considered delaying e85 tune... realised I'm getting a dual map tune anyway, will just run 98 more often in winter if cold start isn't being ideal.

-----------------------------------------------

Speaking of Lego, friend linked me this the other day:

And yeah, the Death Star in lego always looks impressive.

True dat at expense; yet I saw people had limited edition Millenium Falcons which cost around $600, now going for like $3000 (some guy sold his used set for $2500 lels).

Well yeah, I don't think he is gonna plumb it back for now (re: screamer).

How he is going to fit that into the 5in cat, I do not know. Unless he runs it direct to the body of the cat itself. I believe ARTZ had that done.

But my car cannot be made to 'look very sweet' by the efforts of one man alone.

It will most likely require the efforts of three men, namely scotty, artz, and aaron by the way of his guard roller and general "greg don't do stupid shit" advice.

dont be a top bloke, throw some 225s on a 10 and slam it

Hrmmm I haven't had a cold start issue yet with my e85

We shall see over the coming months though

Only cold start issue I ever had on e85 was due to the fact that for some reason my haltech stopped the fuel pump when cranking (only cranking)

Because...

????????

lemme guess your both running IDs?

Start ya bastard not work?!?

Probably, but it would be started by the time I remove the air filter. I'm mostly daily driving these days and can easily switch back with laptop; 98 unleaded never has these issues.

Just a shame I lose my awesome midrange :(

I run ID's and if it's below 10 degrees my cars a bitch to start.

If the car has been on the trailer over night in winter and I try to start it at the track I have to wait for the temp to get up to about 10 before it will start.

It was tuned on a 35 degree day which probably didn't help.

And I don't mean the can I mean shouting it.

If not try the Marty mcfly trick bang your head on te wheel.

Or try this

Interesting...I know fk all about tuning so I wonder if I can play with a copy of my tune and produce something that doesn't blow up my engine!

yeah Trent kept my car overnight and tuned it on cold morning...was actually pretty good....it would fire up and die often...but at least it fired...i know some wont even fire...

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
