they said they're going to need another day with the car, I asked then if they could give me a progress report on the car, and they told me They've Replaced the Tint on the Rear window, and replace the springs in the front (it was too low at the front). I'm not an expert and I have no idea how busy these guys are, but they've had the car since Midday Tuesday and all they've done is put a layer of tint on the rear window and swap the springs. They told me they are currently working on the tachometer now, but the car won't be ready until end of day tomorrow.

Doesn't look like I'm bringing it to the cruise.

Hi do you guys know what process is to register a interstate vehicle in WA, have any of you done it ? Is it hard ?

I did search registering interstate but only found eastern state stuff.

Think you need to go pits , and get a road worthy Certificate , haven't done it my self tho [emoji28]

Sad. They get pretty busy most days with engine rebuilds, mods and usual services. But pretty annoying they promised two days but took longer.

Being in similar environment, everyone wants to know when it will be ready

Go short and your a flaming mongrel if it blows out.

Go long and you miss out

Best guess is still only a guess

Right, Under promise, Over Deliver, retail 101.

I'm not upset that it's taking a bit longer, I'm disappointed because we discussed a time-frame, and they couldn't keep it, and they didn't ring me to tell me it was going to take longer.

Also, it took more than 24hours, just to apply tint to 1 window, I know they out-source the tint... but it doesn't take 24 hours to tint 1 window.

also, they charge by the hour, so the longer they take, the more I pay.

Ring around on places that tint c what the going rate is this way you know you wont be over charged, also you are paying for something to be done/service if you dont get said service then negotiate

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
