Oooeerrs. Yes please. I still have those black lobsters in the freezer for you also

Morning all
Got to see Ash Grunwald in Freo last night, tearing it up with a drummer and a couple of the finest local blues legends ever, was an awesome night, and will give a massive thumbs up to the freo port garden bar, never been there before and its carrying on freos live music culture in the best way!
Nothing better than going to a killer gig and at the end the artists step off stage straight into the crowd for beer and good times.
Awesomeness the buzzcocks done the same thing. Me and Peter Shelly, me and Steve diggels [emoji32]. Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with. Check them out. The only seminal u.k. punk band still going from the late 70's they used to play that shit at the castle on the projector before we used too come on stage in the three stoned gnomes.

you never heard him before? Dude started off yeeeeeears ago on JJJ hosting the roots and all show. Has some pretty fkn epic percussion stuff going on too. I saw him at the Fly years ago, and his drummer had 2 kits, and a frame with car doors and flattened 44 gal drums hanging off it. Was mental

One wierd thing about Ash's gigs though, every single one I have been to there has never been any aggro, but every time without fail, there will end up being a mosh pit of pissed surfers declaring their love for one another at full fkn volume

 

Usually right after the fkn dolphin song

How’s the new job Dale?

So fkn good, I just handed my notice in :D

But srsly, its awesome to be back surrounded by people way smarter than me (this doesnt happen driving trucks...) but not so awesome with the industry volatility and how that affects the duration of your contract terms.

To this end, I have been offered a wad of cash (and a bit better security) to waddle my ass down to the west end of the city starting straight after easter.

 

Plus, no more fkn iron ore handling :woot:

Man I had 4 days off sick last week. [emoji21] was crazy. Middle ear infection that perforated the ear drum. Felt like 40psi in the skull and red hot needles being shoved through the ear hole into the brain. Went to gp Monday arvo and drove myself to emergency at 4am Wensday. 5 days of painkillers and antibiotics [emoji854][emoji43].


Slr5000 or bust
I didn't know you were a bogan? Comes with black or blue jeans white t-shirt DB's or Adidas Rome's (classy) and a pack of Winfield blues up the sleeve. On a lighter note. Beast is looking and running sweet. Manifold done. Windows reset and new tint[emoji4] looks like s cartoon car next to the ute.DSC_0158.JPGDSC_0159.JPGDSC_0160(1).JPG

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
