The origial clutch I smoked real bad wasn't a UAS clutch Chris - it came from another workshop.

The UAS one is similar - but stronger clamp load for my setup.

It still doesn't hold 3rd and 4th with 330rwkw on the drag strip (little slippage) , but Is OK for circuit.

It will be fine in Sam's car.

When I wear this one out - definitely going a twin or tripple.

:D

Ha ha ha

Not a good day for b-man today......

Car has been intermittently not starting recently - seems to be when I leave the ingintion on but not running for like 5 mins - leave it for an hour and it's OK.........

( ie seems heat (electrical not engine) releated)

Now the damn thing won't start at all now - so I changed over to my stock ECU and starts every time - but won't rev past 3000 RPM (no AFM) - so I reckon my ECU is stuffed ........ fark it !

And to top it off - I scratched the shit out of my rear left wheel today on the gutter - some prick parked me in - I farken hate that...

Far Canal.

:D

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
