Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

really, really, really, really, really hope so mate. Ive been really depressed with it all lately :/

Its getting there man, it really is. When you build something you spend the first few months just going through it finding the weakest link all the time. Its better to find an ECU issue now than find it halfway up a hill in the middle of no where!

I know everyone who hasn't gone through a major exercise is always on you case about when you will get it back and how you should have it back and this makes you feel like the whole thing is a disaster....but builds gonna be bitches like this and to me its all gone pretty much to the recipe! All you can do is laugh (and cry a little), and know it will be good in the end.

Whats not to like, I earn money, no managers in today, I have field work later so the day will go fast, I get to put in my overtime forms earning me a few hundred more dollars. Beats sitting at home being unuseful!

See Monday is the day I have painful people to deal with and painful stuff to do and almost guarentee something goes wrong on a Monday!

I have the chilliest day today. It's a beautiful day, I get paid and I get to work on the river. Best Monday ever!! Ohh also got to see the sunrise, that's was pretty wicked

If I had a day like that I would like it

This is true. Better to get the ECU sorted out now as you said.

Hopefully Haltech get back to EFI soon, but I have a feeling that this is going to take quiet some time........................and even then................................. who knows what there gonna say (thats what worries me most)

Friday is my shite day, some times literally, if it can go wrong it will go wrong on a Friday.

Yeah it is a bit of a worry but hopefully its just a firmware update and away you go

Friday is generally pretty cruisy for me but if something chooses to be painful it is insanely painful!

    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
    • If I had logged into the forum and saw that I would have  Missed out again.
