  2. Hey fish need alcohol too!
  3. They tip them out on the ground then and there.
  4. *cough* Nice stuff curly, unfortunately didn't get to see you run. Looked like quite a few people were breaking out on Sunday. Plenty of brake lights over the line.

    Fantastic stuff! Was great to see this beast run.
  6. *tapity* Enhance *tapity* Enhance *tapity* Enhance
  7. Need more details.
  8. D'oh! http://image-cache.boostcruising.com/datab...01898311557.jpg
  9. I think he means individually. Its not abnormal for a car to continue running normally with an injector unplugged. The cylinder thats missing the injector just gathers fuel from the other manifold runners and still fires fine, especially if its a batch fire ECU.
  10. I was on the grassy knoll just in front of the concrete raised section... near the bogan that kept cheering for all the burnouts. Shame I didn't know you went out I woulda come found you and said hello. Dunno what started it, just stubbornness I think, both wanting to play mind games. I didn't take my camera out so no pics unfortunately. Beautiful car, now a little less beautiful. Shouldn't be too bad to fix, didn't look like a particularly fast impact. Just lucky Theo manage to stop in time so they both didn't end up in the mess.
  11. Silicon hoses leak very slowly so provided you're happy to keep an eye on your coolant levels regularly (you should be anyway...but religiously with silicon hoses) they're alright.
  12. Haha was cool for a while...then it just got ridiculous. I didn't time how long it was but it must have been a good 5 minutes or so.
  13. lol I love how you judge the quality of a car by its 20 year old heater hoses.
  14. lol! would have gotten a fright when the flash went off.
  15. oke just ran a tidy 8.6 pass to beat a VL but he full staged before the vl prestaged so I dunno if they're gonna ping him for that.
  16. Asking intelligent questions backed up with research you've already done = good. Asking to be spoon fed = baaad.
  17. I got about 5 seconds in and put them in the same boat with antivaxxers etc.
  18. So whats wrong with a corolla.... huh? huh?! :y:
  19. Could this be the end? or is it the beginning?
  20. Oh praise jeebus! Finally someone talking sense about the whole wheel mounting situation. The hub lip absolutely does not take load. I have plastic hubcentric rings on the Silvia. If the hub lip was taking load these would be squashed to within an inch of their lives... But they're not. Same shape and size as the day I bought them.
  21. I hear there's this stuff called sunscreen now. Mind you, you could move jambo to Siberia in the middle of winter and it'd still be scorching hot. I might make my way out on Sunday.
  22. I had one in my celica for a year or so and found it virtually useless. From a scientific point of view the resolution where it counts is too poor. These things were only designed to measure when an Efi computer had crossed stoich and to tell it to go back the other way. Rinse lather repeat. Stoich isn't even necessarily correct with these things either. With a resolution so poor the calibration for stoich cold be anywhere within a couple of volts. I just don't feel you can have enough confidence in what they're telling you to have meaningful results. In my opinion the only thing you can be confident of is full rich and full lean which, depending on the sensor, could be something like 10-17. A huge range! I don't doubt you have been able to tune cars with the assistance of a narrow band sensor, but you have skills in addition to a sensor to assist you. Many other people haven't learnt those necessary skills. A wideband for the most part would remove much of the need for those skills and pehaps assist in aquiring them. By all means Evan put one in and have a crack. It cost me maybe $30 to do. You might have success but bear in mind the intended use for these sensors and have a look at their calibration graphs.
  23. Now, thats just not cricket!
  24. FWIW IMO narrowband O2 sensors (the vast majority of oxygen sensors) are pretty much useless for any type of tuning. They'll usually either show full rich or full lean and rarely anything meaningful in between. If you want meaningful numbers to tune by you'll have to fork out for a wideband sensor.
