not today, but the gone weekend. hunting the misfire from last event.

 

ordered new coils for fun. new plugs went in too.

checked the injectors as I had left e85 in the system while it sat for +5 months and I was curious.

luckily was just the pre injector filters, replaced them and was fine.

this was a an annoyance. lucky a local store had replacements.

swap diff ratio, required moving the twin bracket over. this was an annoyance.

brake pads were non existent. so full new sets for both. leave the rusty rotor, cause yolo?

can ran loads better but would ocasionally still misfire. it pushed alot of coolant so I guess this weekend is compression check. when I removed the sparks two had verry white tips so it would have been a bit lean last event while running the clogged injectors.

 

fun times ahead.

Starting to do some cosmetic stuff. 

 

New tint to replace the old peeling stuff. Off to body works next to fix one decent ding and a couple of paint scratches when the annual car stimulus package comes in.. I mean tax return

Not today, but yesterday, I finished fitting and bleeding my new brakes, dba 355mm rotors and brembo 6 piston calipers on front and safe brake braided lines all round. I went for a cruise and bedded in new brakes. I did 8 100kph to 20kph  stops and then let them cool by driving for 10 minutes then did 3 140 to 20 stops and let them cool. Twice low oil pressure popped up on dash for 2 seconds under hard braking, must have been the gforces. I also just fitted a saas oil pressure adapter into the turbo oil feed fitting on block and the factory oil pressure sensor now is screwed into the end of the saas adapter so is now 5 cm further out from the block from where it used to be, so probably reads pressure a bit slower with oil rushing around. The brakes are really awesome now, before the stockers struggled to slow the boat down from speed. I also managed to fit in a decent power slide, 1 for the covid lockdown. Lol

My derale thermostatic sandwich block with threaded ports for oil cooler lines. Also saas brass adapter for saas oil pressure sensor for oil pressure gauge is screwed into the turbo oil feed line with stock oil pressure sensor screwed into the other end. 20210820-174212.jpg

Managed to score a set of fpv metallic grey wheels, not cheap but awesome and strong, didn't want to buy cheap wheels that may give me grief.

 

@k31th there you go, I was about to say it was to much hard work to upload pics but I got my 11 yr old son tech whiz to do it for me.
