Spotted Soarer sitting sedately:what happened after we left?

And did A. get home safely,and without overheasting issues?

there was a small team of guys playing at the pool table behind us Jayce im sure you'd remember, well the bald guy that was there that was plastered (far more so after you left) he was the one theat owned the soarer. we all left at the same time (seing as they had closed lol) then he was revving the crap out of it next to me in the car park as i (and ed) got in my car. so i pulled out and he immediatly jumped out behind me and caught up to me even b4 we got out of the car park. so as i was taking ed home and i didnt want any risk to myself my car or god forbid OUR mechanic, so i pulled over straight away and waved him past, them waited a few secs before leaving after him and letting some distance get beetween us. he gunned it back toward qbn but we saw him pulled over on the side of the road with his indicator out, ignored him and just kept going and he didnt chase.

car was great on the way home, didnt even reach the middle of the temp gauge (havnt ever seen it do that since ive had the car) i bought a radiator cap from a servo immediatly after dropping ed off, and all should be sweet!!! so thanksyou to richard for racing out after i got there to make sure i was ok, thankyou to Jayce for telling me what i needed to get and helping with the coolant and topping ait all up etc. thanks to ed for offering his thoughts and advice on the situation, and thankyou to everyone for being genuinly concerned for me, its hugely appreciated!!!!!

anyway im going to put on my new rad cap, polish the car for the formal and enjoy my day, have a great one everyone and thanks to all once again!

end essay

another great night, good to see a few more people show up this time

    • 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.
