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

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
