The Racetractor. The End.

I know its a time consuming job but if you remove the timing belt pully too will the key way come out then to replace as it has a rounded bottom maybe a small centre punch and tap it out?

[Uberderv]

Yup, 2.1 pulley is different but I managed to get one on EBay for about 40 quid..

[Piggy]

Yeah I think I've just managed to find one by just using a gates part number for about £38... Waiting for confirmation

[Piggy]

Ordered. Hope to try and get down on the floor n fit it this week... Make sure all is well... 1day and 6days till I can drive again!

Thought was about time to fit an "oem" inlet air temp gauge

   

[Eeyore]

No video for that?

[zx_volcane]

whats the deal with the air temp probe? where did you mount it, and what are the chances of it disintegrating and being eaten by the engine?

think you'll find that fitment is 'oem+'

Come look see sunday... 

But I have videoed some of it i think... Fitted the probe about 2months ago...so have to dig out the footage.

But on the up side...the probe hasnt gone anywhere in that time...including getting spanked by ruan.

[Piggy]

So few 100 miles done this weekend... Air temps around 8-10 degrees when off boost and cruising.
Cruising motor way speed, .7bar boost, about 17degrees.
Tanking it, about 29/30.

Also 200miles of hooning done, 40mpg. New low

---

Also knocked the throttle arm back a splime and wound in some more fuel, backed it off when it started to make revs hang....
Still only a haze on boost.
Lumpy idle now though

[Matt-Rallye]

Don't forget the weigh in

[Piggy]

Don't forget the weigh in

Ah yeah...no change there. Still 1000kg. Maybe a SHADE under as it had a full spec meridian seat in passenger side

---

FCS not that long away... Got a list I'm working through...some little things, but add up.

So far dropped the bonnet back down again off its dumb raisers.
Also finally stuck bolts in to stop the lexan windows sliding down

[zx_volcane]

Had a passenger ride out in this over the weekend - the way it picks up and covers ground is phenomenal, has been crying out for this extra fuel since the last time I was in it at FCS, has made a big difference - and without wanting to make your head too big it was fair rapid then. You can just torque your way through 3rd gear in that hdi box.

Grip from the tyres inspire a lot of confidence too, no hint of being anywhere near the limit of those AD08r.

[Piggy]

Funny enough its had more fuel but imo its more to do with the boost control, thanks to ruan spending couple hours in passenger seat while I hooned refining it...needs winding up just a tad now with fuel adjustment.

See to me, it feels, well, ok, but not rapid...maybe i have just got used to it!? Feels like it needs more

[Mattcheese31]

always feels a lot faster in the passenger seat . .

[Paul Baldwin]

After a spirited nearly 40 mile ride out in this I must say that as an overall package I was very impressed by it. While not being neck snappingly fast it certainly does cover the ground well. The rides really composed and as Tom says the tyres really do seem to inspire confidence, it felt like it had loads of grip from the passender seat

[Redordead89]

   

[Piggy]

Hahahaha..

Needed asap!!

[Piggy]

It had to happen....


   

[Piggy]

This has just been a hoot to drive recently...then this happened today...

   

Pinhole leak in end of the leak off bung.

How or why I don't know but bash reminded me of something i have always wanted to do coz the bungs always leak...run it back and T it into the return. 

So ordered a nice 3mm brass T piece.

(zoom in on pic and you will see the little stream shooting up(!))

[Seb_Ryan]

Funny you mention that I saw my bung was perished as yesterday.

Fuel house really isn't up to standard nowadays

Fuel hose hasn't been up to standard for ages, dunno where to buy decent grade stuff these days.

leak off pipes fail all the time

[welshpug]

not o.e stuff, and its cheap.

anything aftermarket is wank however, mainly due to it all be 1/8th of an inch, where the p.e stuff is 3mm.

(1/8th is 3.2mm f.y.i)

[bashbarnard]

all the fuel hose i get from mpd and leakoff pipe have never leaked even with veg oil. and thats saying something. but yes i do run a t piece the injector end cars suck

[welshpug]

i have o.e psa stuff on my bmw, exactly the same stuff, less than 3rd of the price, injector bodies on the M51D25 look identical to XUD.
