luvemfast Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Simon, did you read the fine print? My apologies mate. However, you do have the new donk in now. High expectations Quote
620Z Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I will try and get down there if not going away. Zedless of course. Power steering nearly in. Quote
GV260 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Sorry Gordon, I can't make it. I snapped the diff chain at Sandown and I'm waiting on an RT diff mount I've ordered to fix the problem. Hope you have a good day/run. Even worst, I won't be able to catch up with Peter...... Quote
Gordo Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Hi Guys, on my first run the boys noticed a bit of oil smoke from under the car. So lifting the bonnet there was a fair bit of oil around the motor. Peter Mack the man in person was there. We lifted the rocker cover and some of the cam lobes where dry and red hot. No oil getting to the spray bar, must be blocked. That was the end of my day, or so I thought. Dimiti offered me a drive of the 150kw beast, what could I say, hell yer. So I did about 6 or 7 laps and had a ball. Thanks Dimiti. Good power alittle soft on the suspention, and the brakes held up good, great club car with heaps of potential. At the end of the day the boys offered to push the zed onto the trailer. Nar just drive it on I said, and to my suprise the oil came back up and was running fine, there must be a bit of crap in the spray bar or oil gallerys. But the cam is marked on the lobes so will need a new one . "Sigh" Quote
Riceburner Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Hard luck Gordon, at least it's an easy fix. With all the thoughts of efi vs carbs that happened recently, how did you find the difference in Dimitris car? Quote
Gordo Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 Hi Gareth. I found driving Dimitris car had or what fells like a flat power curb, from 3000 to 6500rpm, but slightly more from 5500 to 6500rpm. Where my car just builds power from 3000 to 7000rpm. So there is no differance in efi to carbs with the butterflys fully open. But having said that, there are big differances in the two cars, mine is built for the track and Dimitris is a nice road car that goes racing. Cheers. Quote
