Lamb roast on Saturday will be different 🥲

Yeah yeah, the oven did get a good clean after the "baking"...LOL

In other, wrinkle black painted stuff news, expansion tank and PS reservoir all fitted up and tested at temp

Much nicer than the yellow stained plastics

If you want to test it under temperature, I think you should enter the One Raceway day tomorrow with Duncan!

One day, but not tomorrow, tomorrow I'm strictly a spectator, the only testing for me tomorrow will be on the coffee and food at the Cafe

And now the washer bottle looks like an orphan. You're going to have to spend money on a wrinkle black painted fabbed ally one of those.

Oh, and the brake MC res. That won't look any good after you've gotten rid of the washer bottle.

You going to need to go back to work to keep up with this?

Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine

I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later

If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket.......

Meh

As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
