That or actually do some mods to my car?

If you drop the pressure below 20psi, the tyres don't seem to grip so well.

Put your car down the strip, see what it can do and then watch your times drop as you start to do the mods.

i have found with my car that a set of 225/65/15 brigestone GIIIs set to about 25psi tend to stick very well - but only if i do a big burnout before the run.

with 17s all round i did a best of 14.8, and big traction probs, with the GIIIs (drive straight through the water and just bake them for like 10 seconds) i dropped down to a 14.505 - saved .2 of a second off just the 60ft alone!! couldnt believe what revs/launch technique i was able to get away with!

car is a ,manual EB XR6 Falcon with extractors, exhaust, small cam and 3.9:1 LSD

      Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.

      So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      Aside from the fact it is likely fuel related if it is black, the symptoms otherwise sound like worn valve stem seals. Oil gets past the worn seals when the engine is off and burns when the engine starts. If it happens on deceleration while driving (puffs of white smoke) that is another valve stem seal symptom because oil gets sucked form the head into the combustion chamber under vacuum with the throttle closed. They can be replaced in the car if you have some way to keep the valves closed while working (eg compressed air into cylinders) but is much easier with head off.

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      Alright, fair enough. Expected as much. Possibly, yes. However the kit is apparently not including every single hose and it is out of stock too.
