Eoi: Rc Drift Meet?

[SECURITY]

dammit! if i was coming to this one i would've taken advantage of your lazer temp gun mr 32!!

[mr 32]

if you want im near bankstown i can find out how to tune them and if you want i can bring it around.

[RANDY]

Kinda like tuning a lawnmower, eh Security? ;o)

[SECURITY]

hahaha yeah KINDA... except no turbo

i gave up on the lawn mower. we decided to get someone to do the lawns on our properties.

mr 32 that sounds good to me mate, bring it past whenever you like, my number is 0422 299 414.. give me a buzz and we'll organise a time that suits you.

ive kind've tuned it, but now when it turns off after the tank runs out it doesnt turn back on unless i give it a break.. is that normal?

it still runs hella rich though.

[RANDY]

Nopers.. should be able to start it straight away. If anything, it should be EASIER to start than when it's cold.

I'd guess that your overfuelling is flooding it when it switches off? Needs to be leaned out in any case from what you describe.

[SECURITY]

yeah well ill see how the tune goes.

there was a place i got referred to by a guy i buy my fuel from. he said they do tunes.. but i lost their damn card!

[mr 32]

ok just got back from 3 hardwares and a plumming suply store and i couldnt fin pvc anywhere near the size of my buggy rims. so it looks like i will have to duck tapping over the rubber. any other ideas would be good.

and is just the rear tyres or do you change all?

thanks mr 32

[N1GTR]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

try bunnings warehouse on milperra rd.

ive got some 65mm pvc at my place that i use.

[mr 32]

yeh but my rims are 110mm.

[mr 32]

here you go steve got this off randy

[SECURITY]

what if you got one that was approximately the same size, then cut it and place it over your tyre?

[mr 32]

too much effort. i tried the duck tape on the rear wheels was not to bad got it sliding a bit.

[SECURITY]

thats what i did before i got pvc.

did you try bunnings warehouse plumbing section?

theyve got 1m lengths of different sizes.. i might go buy some more in a different size to see if i can get a better fit.

[mr 32]

yeh i went down to bunnings before but i dont know what section i was in, that place is so big now.

thsts a good idea the tighter the fit the better you dont want them to come off mid slide

Oh... If it's pouring down with rain tomorrow, obviously this will be off. The courts are outside. Otherwise, it's looking good for tomorrow! =-D

You can use www.travelmate.com.au to map from your house to Abott Road in Curl Curl. Use the map-maker option. =-]

Buggy tyres... sometimes it's best to buy PVC that is a fraction SMALLER than the tyre, then squeeze the tyre inside the PVC (while it's still on the rim)

If you want to mount directly to the rim, use electrical tape and wrap the rim until you can just *barely* squeeze the PVC on. Keep the tape tight all the time, and count how many complete revolutions you do... this makes it quicker for the proceeding rims.

Thanks for the map
