I don't know what's wrong with it... Everytime I touch the throttle, and it goes above 2000rpm, it just revs out and doesn't go anywhere!!! It's so annoying because I'm getting beaten by Civics, Hyundais and Ladas! :Oops: :Oops:

Could this have something to do with it?

Oh, and before you all pay me out about not being able to drive a car, the clutch was slipping on launches when I bought it over a year ago, so I think I've done well to baby the car this far on a stuffed clutch fawk.gif

How much for your handbag... the silver one?

It's yours for a set of Enkei RPF1 wheels ;)

I think that handbag would go well with the sequined dress I saw you wearing last Saturday!!!

hi merli,nothing quite like getting your moneys worth.what are your plans for a replacement?

OS Giken Twin Plate has been sitting in my house for about 6 months, I've just waited this long so I could get the clutch replaced for free when I got the engine built and clutch removed anyway :Oops:

I'm such a cheapskate :(

Steve: LOVE THE AVATAR!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! ;)

bendertiger: I guess the technological "advances" would the be automatic slushbox :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.
