[CrispyFries]

Wish I'd kept all the transformers. Had a bunch of the ones that form into bigger robots

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:

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).

[Mohsen]

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

[Kinkstaah]

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...

????????

[ARTZ]

yeah I didnt have any great issues either....Maybe its those crappy old Nismo injectors Birds

lemme guess your both running IDs?

[Birds]

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

[gtr jet]

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.

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...

[Plattsy]

Need a tiny electric blanket around your fuel line birds.

[gtr jet]

Mine doesn't fire at all. Thinking about taking it back this winter to get the cold start cleaned up.

[Leroy Peterson]

Just use a blow torch.
