Rich

pic whore. Lookin tidy min

Machine Mart didnt have any compression testers left so I got one from Halfrauds.

numbers 1, 3 and 4 all showed 115psi and guess what no 2 showed 20psi

does anyone know if you can get the head off without lifting out the engine?

Graeme

Firstly not good news to hear G, onwards and upwards I suppose.

115psi seems a tad low too does it not? I thought standard brand new was around 165psi. You'd expect to lose a little compression but thats almost 33% less...or is this quite normal?

Rich

My thoughts would be yes, 4 pots arent that big.

Best asking the guy

Rich

Can't spell correctly either

Well done, must have been well screwed up, took a while to get back up and running. Looks better than berfore

Thats how you drive, from now on, THATS HOW YOU DRIVE

haha

Yep sure was, at one point I was having "fun" in 4th, decided to calm down and up into 5th, I was in 5th all the time!!!

Andy F gave me a controller to drop off at AWD for you, assumed Andy from AWD called you?

No but I got an e-mail from Andy F. I'll give AWD a call tomorrow. Scoob is currently my good running car as the beemer failed MOT today on near side rear brake for handbrake, bugger lol (should get sorted tomorrow though)

Thanks for dropping the controller off at AWD for me

Quality figures min, I bet that was a fun drive back up to Elgin

Thats a bugger scott. I wonder if I required the adapters for my bigger injectors

Car looks really good in the flesh scott.

Hope you get your mapping and fuelling sorted out then its medal to the metal

Rich

I'd want a RR print out to prove the bhp.

He doesnt know what kind of turbo is on it.

400 bhp (if it is) on classic sti top mount would surely have high intake temps

Looks clean enough but big scoop on classic doesnt look right

Mine is available for viewing later ths week

Rich

Looks good scott

There is a W reg white type r going around the aberdeen area that it a version 4. Silly DVLA

Rich

Thanks for all the comments folks. I sure was pashed last night haha

The weekend started yesterday at 4pm

Its all just a joke time some of the giants that make billions of pounds of profit every year gave even just a little back to loyal customers....

Its not the oil companies that are the bad eggs, this is purely greed by the government

What a f@cking disgrace considering oil is still around the $70-75 a barrel mark.

(Oo \ GT-R / oO) Tidy sig andy

Government is a disgrace

Nice 1 ali, looks a cracker, also looks familiar for some reason?

I was expecting first mods to be losing weight not adding

Rich

Met a gritter on the way to Turriff,he was coming towards me It was like driving through a sand storm.Peppered the front of the car chipping the paint in loads of places. even slowing down to 40 made no difference. This p***k was going full tilt.You expect gritters in the winter , but not at this time year. Would i have a right to complain to the council about this and would it get me anywhere.Only had the car 8 days.

Anyway on the positive side , the problem i had with the clutch,turned out to be 2 missing bolts on the exhaust heat plate.

Gritters at this time of year! Theres an online complaint thing on the aberdeenshire council website, maybe worth googling that

Rich

Welcome

Cheers Iain

Some other interesting stats from the Solaris datalog.

0-60 = 1.89 (done in 1st gr) (60'=1.54)

0-100 = 4.14 (incls 2 gear shifts)

30-130 5.01 (incls 3 gear shifts)

1/8th mile 5.95@127mph (Pod time slip)

No Nitrous, just booooooooost

**** me thats fast. Amazing times Andy

Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) is a component of the electronic fuel injection system installed between the air filter and the engine. The MAF sensor is used to measure the amount of air entering the engine. This measurement is used by the engine computer to calculate proper amount of fuel injected into the cylinders in order to provide optimum combustion and low emissions.

A contaminated MAF sensor can cause a wide range of various vehicle driveability problems such as stalling, especially when the engine is cold, misfiring, poor acceleration, etc. HKS induction kits seem to carbon up the measurement wire more than others.

I bet that wasnt off the top of your head bobby

Good to hear its sorted

I thought that coastline couldnt have been far from me
