My car had a good run over the last couple of days, I went to dubbo and back. Lithgow hill was fun but the oil temp did no stay as low as I would have wished for. After ripping up the hill at about 120Km/hr running 1 bar the oil temp hit 90deg in under 1 min. I was hoping to get the same response as drunkan did <80deg but it was not to be.

If this rain keeps up I will definitely be at Oran on Sat!

Not much chance sorry, I already have 5 hours of meeting that day. Weekends and EC afternoon drives are best for me and wakefield is a wee little drive. Im always fcuked after a 2.5 hr drive there 8 hours of track and 2.5 hours home.

Hey, I am perfectly capable of blowing up my own engines as it turns out....2 from 2....

I'm just heading out to put some easy boost free laps on it to bed the rings in...no rego on it yet so track is my only chance to run it in :)

Aiming to be at the Oran Park state champs on 30/7....

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
    • Couple of litres of moonshine from his southern cousins would do it...
    • Brakes definitely won't make him faster. They only slow you down. 😛
