[snickells]

Yup, it's going to be fun.

 

[smitty]

Barring natural disaster or an act of <insert deity here> my car will be ready in time for sure

 

[snickells]

... I for-see allot of time on the phone with you Alex

 

[smitty]

yeah and? sif you dont love the sound of my voice!

Typical phone call:

Steve: "Hello?"
Me: "Steeeeeve i broke it/dunno how it works/can't figure this out/how do i tie my shoes?"

Oh yeah you never explained... how do i remove the restrictor on the clutch line?

 

[snickells]

Shit sorry dude! You need to bypass it with a small section of steel pipe. Dont worry about it for now, next year when I do mine I'll make a few for the boys.

 

[BuzzPuppy]

well i kinda hope it snows so i can see/touch some lol

I will bring you a slurpee with no syrup for you to dip your hand in

 

[smitty]

Well looks like i WILL be riding with one of you boys on this cruise.... Car was meant to be driving today but something's gone wwrrronnnggg. And now i'm dumping it in a tangled, broken mess on steve's lap on tuesday. It's his problem now

So close, yet so far away. We were bleeding the clutch when i realised something wasn't quite right with the clutch fork's position...

 

[unclepaulie]

Look at some of esemte's posts from way back. I think he had the same problem

 

[cittris]

not to worry snotty you can ride with me. Also i may have my new control in by then

 

[ygoslo]

Major apologies, but I will not be able to make this cruise. I have not been able to get the major service done and I also am still to diagnose my AYC problem. I don't want to drive 500-odd kms (quickly) with those issues hanging over the car.

 

[unclepaulie]

Bring the sil

 

[ygoslo]

Haha yeah about that.. It kinda doesn't go. Again.

I tried to be an auto elec again... :001_unsure:

 

[unclepaulie]

so its a smouldering shell? lol


(touch wood it isnt)

what did you try and do?

 

[ygoslo]

Nah the opposite. No spark! Just wired in an RSM, thinking that the RPM signal is getting screwed up or something. Just gotta retrace my steps and it'll be sweet, I'm sure.

The wiring at the ECU is absolutely horrible, if I get a chance I'll upload a pic on the blog! The RPM signal from the ECU to the dash is carried by half a speaker wire, for example...

 

[mookers]

So fix the Sil, then bring it

 

[ygoslo]

I've had a week off work and haven't even looked at it. I really need to get myself organised...

 

[smitty]

Do it Tim, if i can get this far getting my own bucket almost ready for the cruise then you can fix your dodgy wiring

 

[ygoslo]

And my alignment, brakes and all my gauges? :001_unsure:
