Watch out for that honky, he be burnin!

See you tonight. Think I'll drive my lil shitbox, considering the parking situation.

Which one? :ph34r:

Yeh, Mat has all sorts of contagious ailments but he is still going! :P

I dont want to know how you know this lol, and no worries Terry.

I think i might be allergic to all SAU tech nights. This is the second i havent been able to attend :(

Another successful night.

Thank you to the Execs, and JLM for their hospitality. A frank and open discussion on the ins and outs of the industry, interactions with government, and law enforcement was interesting. Lots of interesting parts, motors, and cars to cast the eye over, as per usual.

Enjoyed "fish sticks" as geeteetee put it, served on the bonnet of a WTAC contender. Certainly novel.

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
