Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Afternoon sir. Does that mean that motor and turbos and everything will be sold in order to start afresh? Few vultures may already be circling around that block.

Yes, most likely.

I was thinking of keeping it but I'm thinking that the next build will most likely be stroker

I wonder who will pick up that motor. 2.8 stroker or 26/30 Ants? Choices choices choices.

I like 2.8 sound of things but everything is trending to 3ltr+ now which I personally makes things more complicated than what it really should be.

But I will once again do my homework first and then take it from there.

The big block boys have been saying it for years "there's no replacement for displacement". The cost of building a 26/30 would be punitive compared to a RB28 I would have thought? Or you could just go a Rb34 ;)

BTW I purchased a bottle of Laprhoaigh last week (the select cask)

That shit is so peaty that you want to punch your grandma in the face!

F me!

That stuff is nice! Although you aren't a peat fan from memory. It's ok, I don't think he takes it personally. :P

Yes, can't beat cubes hence Nick lol

Yes, I actually wouldnt mind getting another bottle which is called the quarter cask - 48% abv and has some really good reviews but yeah Peat and I don't get along as well as Sherry does.

Quarter cask is one of my brothers favourite drops. I too quite enjoy it. For your palate, I do recommend the Dalmore range or the Aberlour. Good stuff! Had Dalmore 12 earlier tonight and enjoyed it.

the QTR cask has scored 96 points. But yeah for me I like sweeter whiskys. Doesn't mean I don't like peated malts though

The Dalmore 12 is insanely sweet.

The Macs and Dronachs are one of my favs

But I like all kinds of whiskies

Yes, it's about tastes and also the mood you're in. Having said that I'm always keen to explore and expand my knowledge by trying other whiskies.

The Dalmore cigar malt is nice and the 18 I must try one one day.

Arberlour is on my to do list.

Right now though on the hunt for some Japanese malts :)

Japanese hey? Very pure crisp flavours. Which in particular?

any mate.

I've recently purchased Nikka from the barrel and that is just unreal

The best nose of a blend I've ever had and tastes magnificent.

Last night I had (a whee bit too much) Laphroaigh Select cask but that's because I really enjoyed that smokey aftertaste

Think I'm going to buy that QTR cask now, as I think I'm hooked on it now lol

The more refinement that goes into these peaty and smokey whiskies the less it tastes like an ashtray. The Ardbeg Perpetuum for example, nice heavy notes of tar and soot on the nose yet dark chocolate and honey on the palate. When you take a sip, has a nice warmth to it followed by smoke.

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
