Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

washed the car last night at like 430 .. run out of time to polish and now i need to go down the GC...... im sensing an early early morning tomorrow for charity cruise

nice

Going to give my car a wash now. Just waiting for the battery to charge! New ecu on Thursday too!

although u will not need new ECU for tomorrow's charity cruise

Nor looking forward to cleaning the car today gonna pull half the car apart to fix up some trim that hasn't been sitting properly for a while now.

focus on just cleaning the car Zeke, you will have plenty of time to correct the trim that most peps won't care about..........then again I also anal bout bodywork so totally understand

This whole cleaning the car thing blows goats.

think of it as your exercise for the day Bunts then after crack a beer or two and enjoy your hard work (results)

At least your cars are able to run :-P

Anyone got a spare seat for a photographer I've got coming along? Work and the car gods have f**ked me over. I can get him to the meet (in my oh so classy Astra) but I have to bail early so he'll need a lift to the powerhouse mid afternoon.

less work more car fun perhaps? Or is that the other way around? :P

Hope you can find time to fix the 34 soon Boz

Time is the real killer. Although I may have more up my sleeve because of this. I was using my own car (with a generous per/km allowance and fuel reimbursement) to do a sales rep job. Guess I won't have that job any more :P Which is OK because I wanted to stop anyway. Two jobs, an internship, summer semester uni, a relationship and the club all left me with zero time. I'll have done over 100 hours between the jobs, internship and uni this week and that is killing me when it doesn't pay. Didn't mind it when i was a manager and doing 14-16 hour days every day because I got free food, free booze and a good pay packet.

Well I kinda do. Any throttle through the mid range causes knock. But I will either go very slow down the back or go straight from the first meet point to lakeside

if you are taking on so much right will hopefully mean you will have more time in the future..........smart work DOES pay off :)

is it worth the risk Bunts?

   is it worth the risk Bunts?

I have been driving it like this for 12 months. If I keep it in my pants its all good

car is almost ready just minor details to finish.

 

Did you get that exhaust fitted Bunts? so we can compare shiny 44gal drum exhausts :P

I have not fitted it. I might not either, seeing if I can swap it for somthing different!

Ya I am all hooked up with a Stuffed toy,

Done my dyno run, little disappointed so got sadd face atm :(

But the cruise tomorrow will prob bring my smile back.

Looking forward to see some HawT cars and great peeps.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
