Congratulation with a Baby girl! :P

Sorry for beeing so late with the gratulation, but I stopped recieving E-Mail when this thread is updated...

How is she? Found a name for her?

Best Wishes

Morten and Caroline

thanks guys, her name is Ella Jade. She is doing well, put on 440grams last week.

Going to have a play with the car this weekend, firstly going to test the valve springs as the mechanical missfire at high RPM can only be them, and have heard some rumours about Comp valve-springs having this problem. Get my missing 20 killer wasps back.

Going to remove and repair front bar, swing a spanner over car and fabricate an engine cover/intake duct to insulate the intake from the headers and direct some air from the front bar. Also going to check for any damage due to my off track excursions lol. Hope to have it ready in a week so i can go to next event that pops up.

have narrowed missfire/harmonic down to the Yella Terra rocker arms after springs tested fine. Have re-installed standard arms as to run it on dyno on saturday and see if problem is gone, a little birdy told me that Yella Terra has re-designed this part number, nice of them to tell us.

Bar is off and getting repaired, and will do engine cover soon, lots of track days coming up.....going to put a passenger seat in also as to get some driver tips this time, might need headsets though lol.

Too bad that the rocker arms are failing, but it is good to know that they are easy to replace... What brand of rocker arms are you choosing if it is the rocker arms that are the problem?

I hade a test run with my car on the road this saturday, and the CAM I am using is just mean!!! :P

Without proper tuning (Running between 11.0 and 11.5 AFR) I managed to get it to spin at aprox. 4000 rpm in 4th gear... Started rolling at 2000rpm in 4th gear and floored the throtle, and I am running 235/40-18 Road Slicks...

Hoping that the Rocker arm change works for you!

its OK, if our tests confirm that the ams are the issue then Yellaa Terra will be replacing them or reimbursing me, i can guarantee you that. Hey Morten, how good are 4th gear skids lol.

our diagnosis was confirmed today, the car was perfect. clean power curve through too 7000rpm and beyond.

put some fuel back in here and there but overall tune was good. Running it a bit fatter for security but still making 400hp and 1600 lb of torque. So will be chasing rocker arms up this week.

Fitted GTR Grille purchased off forum which looks great. Bar is in for repair.

All is looking good for October track day.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
