Last night the Hobbies in the Hills, hobby shop above UAS was completly destroyed by fire. The fire did not get down stairs so except for being very wet, UAS survived. My car was getting its clutch replaced and I was lucky enough along with all the cars to get out without a problem. I dont think it is known if UAS will be ok but John has a lot of cleaning up to do!

Theis stock should be Ok but stuff like computers, phones and paper work will be gone.

The bigger issue will be the chance they will have to re-locate because of the dammage to the upper floors might make the building a write off!

actually apparently one of the fire fighters was injured :P

you would have to expect a hobby shop would go off like an H bomb. all that flamable glue, pressurised spray paint, model rocket engines, heaps of RC car fuel = KABANG with a side dose of KABOOM!

Does anyone know how the blaze started? I really feel for John as he is going to get reamed through no fault of his own.

According to the reports on Sky news, the cause is yet to be determined, but rest assured, that building is completely forked and will no doubt need to be demolished.

      V36 wreck (edited from V37 by mod)

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.

      Is it oil smoke or fuel smoke? They smell different.
