AINTPAINT is a winner so far, I do enjoy a good rhyme

I'm skipping a big update here from picking the car up from the mechanic's but meh...  I'll add it at some point.

 

 

Swooped on a good value purchase from this forum a couple weeks ago and have been sitting on them since then...until a message from Wiggum saying he has a buyer for my old squirters who was hot to trot so we made it happen yesterday!  Massive thanks to him as usual.  

 

Pics time!

 

Out with the old...I was happy to watch as we were working with limited time and I know who I'd bet is faster at this sh*t

When I saw the throttle body come off I took the chance to give it a clean... you can see the inlet is pretty dirty in the above pic.  At least I'm good for something, and carrying the throttle body/carby cleaner in the boot every day paid off hahaha

Mid way point - new ones have just come out of the ultrasonic cleaning bath.  Good for jewellery too so I'm told so if you need to convince the missus you need one tell her it's a gift for her ;)

Shots of the nozzles.  The 42lb outlets look the same as a stock set - just slightly bigger holes

Just for fun here's a stock set he happened to have there at the time (pic taken after he'd cleaned the filth from my old ones)

In with the new!  Woot

No change in power levels right now - Ralph just adjusted injector values to suit the new flow rate...most importantly let's check that I still get mad flutter...

 

 

 

 

...check hahaha!

 

 

 

 

 

Another wholesome visit to The House of Wiggum - where Lightning Strike B series are not only accepted, but encouraged.  Here's a pic as proof he secretly loves unpainted cars hahaha

The loudest car by far is actually the Rangie over on the right though...it's pretty awesome on full noise limiter bashing.  The dogs 4 houses away also agreed.

Hahaha good value lads!

 

I tried to find the big workshop invoice to post it up but I've forgotten where it is, just like I've probably forgotten some of what was done... I've done about 7,000km since having the birthday service!
