An early Christmas present....just!

G'day All

My main timing issue for my car build has been overcome today with Mr Vicroads kindly signing off on the car. )

No surprise on the rego. plates though!!



If I can overcome my fuel issues, the plate name wont stick in terms of my driving style.

I was damn lucky to make it back from getting the RWC and then onto Vicroads.

Took Mike's advice last night and plumbed the pick up pump straight into the bosch, with the swirl pot acting as a remote return to tank. On hard acceleration I think the bosch was outdoing the carter pick up pump but was other wise ok.

But it started to do the old trying to cut out trick and I found that if I switched the ignition on and off a few times to re prime through the carter pump at least, off she would start no problems.

I'm going to test the rail pressure to see if the regulator is the culprit.

It is hard to have that Aussie Mike grin in your new car when your lurching down the street and being overtaken by wheelchair powered grannies, waving their sticks and cursing at you for getting in their way.

Hopefully a very short lived technical hitch I can overcome. If I am luck before Thursday too for the club meeting!

Cheers
