RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Toms306 - 30-10-2015

Not really....
When I am only replacing what I drained!?!
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Toms306 - 30-10-2015
Heavy radiator and an extra 4 kilos of water is unnecessary weight.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Dum-Dum - 30-10-2015
Awwww, 10l, that's cute, with my bigger rad I think I put in 13 and that doesn't include the volume in the matrix.

Aww thats cute. You willy waving about the amount of fluid your mazda takes
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Lwilliams - 31-10-2015
Thought it was the last show for this mate? You decided to keep it now then?
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - welshpug - 31-10-2015
bet you are fitting the driveshaft seal too deep.

I have always flush fitted...if thats wrong then thats something new I need to learn.
For 11years I have always been fitting flush fit without problems...so be surprised if it is that
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Toms306 - 31-10-2015
Flush fit is right, cheap seals are rubbish though. I only use the Febi ones now, not had an issue with those!

Yeah I have fitted a febi one now. Need to do a few miles n get it warm and see if its actually dribbling or residual from above.
Should do that today
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Paul_13 - 31-10-2015
Driveshaft seals should sit 3mm proud
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - welshpug - 31-10-2015
as above, there's two types, its not quite 3 mm I think.
correction, 1.5 mm rh, 1mm lh.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Niall - 31-10-2015
Thats for the genuine ones. Ive used pattern before and never had any issues at all but they are not as deep so end up sitting flush.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - welshpug - 31-10-2015
depends, like I said there's two types, from genuine and aftermarket supply.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Piggy - 31-10-2015
Always done them flush from the first time a experienced PSA technician showed me how 11yrs ago... Never had an issue yet.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - welshpug - 31-10-2015
half the "experienced psa technicians" I know of I wouldnt trust to do up my wheel bolts...

Neither would I generally speaking...
But I would trust this guy to make you look like a fool in a workshop.

Ouchy.
What a burn.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - adam b - 31-10-2015
The lad knows a few things..
Back on topic, best get a track day sorted out for next year. I'd like to see how this goes away from videos

until I have my replacement... yup.
I think I am likely to make it to the drag strip in April. May well be its sending off.
However... two things this month may either put nails in certain coffins or sign it off to crack on for 6 more months.
Despite the knock....
It NEVER fails to make me smile. And the fact that cooling is SOOOO not an issue now... just makes hooning so much nicer.
If I can find the knock, sort this leak and Novembers plans go to plan.... I will struggle to part company me thinks.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - RetroPug - 04-11-2015
It'd be a shame to get rid of it. It's something unique, that you built yourself which makes you happy.
Isn't that pretty much ideal?

I am working flat out to try and pay off some things... in an effort to keep it. Also need to save for other things in pipeline... which getting rid of this would help a lot with.
I am trying my best to keep it... but it would help to be paid what I am earning... I am owed about £1100 from customers at the moment... 2 months earnings for me. So things like that dont help.
As said... Be great to keep it for a bit longer... I aim to try and make a proper decision by April 2nd. Thats the drag strip day!

Don't forget MOST of my week is working here on the estate which pays for the house. Huge expense covered there.
Oh yeah and I run a diesel track car as my work vehicle

It would be sad if life did get in the way. You'll always have the memory and satisfaction of knowing what you built but it'd be great if it kept giving you smiles for a long time now that you've gone through all the hardship of getting it to where it is now.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Piggy - 14-11-2015
Went to sweet lamb for wrc yesterday.
Spent about 8hrs in the car in all...
Don't feel too bad this morning!
Still got some grit in my eye and hair though
She loved it...
I did make a modification to aid in comfort...
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Dum-Dum - 16-11-2015
She looks good dirty.
