deposits wont be sugar.

They are very likely a residue from soluble organic junk in your tank. Kept petrol for awhile? Some gunk settles at the bottom, i expect its the same for e85, except e85 dissolves that shit, and drops them when it evaporates completely.

If your bored on the weekend come around!

Otherwise was going to buy a solder on the weekend and fix my front indicator light, as the wiring as torn off

I'm working Saturday, but free that evening or Sunday morning?

I tried these first:

Narva plus 120

but only lasted about 3 months, moved to phillips, getting at least a year out of these.

No good. Didn't touch the bulb glass during installation, did you? Should have written them an email...they generally send out replacements when that happens in such a short time.

Obviously performance globes differ in life to standard globes but should be getting more than 3 months out of them.

hmmm I'll have get a stand... maybe a sponge would be good too for cleaning the tip (that's what she didn't say, cause she likes it dirty)

also should have lobster roll this weekend. good shit

nah use rubber gloves when handling them to be sure.

didn't want them again if die quick as you have to dismantel parts of the engine bay to replace, (either the whole airbox or the battery and cradle)

so changed up to phillips.

hey if i plod around in 2nd gear and low speed the car is quiet jerky

not beef jerky, but kinda engine revving jerky, almost makes me look like i cant drive

is that the mega cams doing that?? is it something i can tune out with more or less ign timing?

only happens on light cruise in 2nd gear at low speed, if i open the throttle it goes away

My car does this. Wasnt sure if cams or just setup. 3 different tuners and still does it, so not sure if tune will help

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
