Yeah infront of other students (pride level -10)[8~2][8~2][8~2][8~2]

Hehe, not good to hear Rhys, but I know the roads round there are quite slippery. Just like my street!

Damage your rim/wheel at all?

Rhys

nah i managed to straighten my wheels out so the tyre just came to a sudden stop on the curb, at the moment my car still steers fine (touch wood). should see the front of my car, i have the XE lip all race taped on as half of it is wanting to come of but dont have time to fix it till saturday[V]haha

but those roads are even slipery in the dry![:u]

over all i was pritty damn lucky not to hit the road sign 2 foot away from my nose! the only thing going through my mind was FARK!!!!! just looking at it side on!haha

ohwell we all have ups and downs atleast its just superficial damage

if i manage to get a camera i will post some pics of my race tape effort

cheers
rhys

wow long time no post....

anyway i finally have got my efi project slowly underway.... the manifold, injectors, fuel rail etc minus the stock loom and dizzy.

i will clean it up and post some pics on the weekend. waiting for a email back from a guy regarding a worked head, larger valves, porting, fr31cam etc.... then ive just gotta buy a bunch of smaller equipment ranging from MS to a vl fuel pump, all to be bought in the next month or so

i will post when i make some further ground....its comming into the final month of year 12 at the mo so progress may be a lil slow[:I][V]

cheers
rhys

sweet, be sure to let us know how you go !

hmmm it seems progress may be a bit further away than originally thought[V][V][8~2]

i need to build up more money, hopefull getting a second job! but at the moment i feel i lack the electronic know how to do this set up right with MS, while still having the car on the road..... ive been looking into qoutes for getting a mechanic to do it etc and am leaning more towards this option as it will only be off the road for max a week and it will be done right, dyno and all![;^)] all in all it means more money spent so the further away it gets![8~2] spose such is life!haha

oh yeh rhys u wanna get me a job doing days at big W or whatever the name of that place you and daniel work!!??? i need cash!haha

second oh... do any of the SA guys have mechanic friends or any connections that could help with this matter??

cheers
rhys

Haha Woolies...,
Yeh I've just been slapped with extra hours coz were short workers, ones on holidays and ones sick.
Go in and speak to my manager. If you want to I'll pass on his details. Then we'd be up to 3Escort owners at work.

Ever considering buying a banger for a few hunge? Keep you going while you work on the RS?
Just read lotsa books and give it a go, will save you some cash.
I'd say mechanic would be charging on upside of $1500 to set fuel injection up and dyno.
Going through it at the mo myself but dont have to worry about building the computer, only hooking it up.

Rhys

yeh if you can give me his details that be great! as i finish school in 3 weeks and will have nothing to do but lurk on here all day! (not that it is a bad thing![;^)])

ive considered it, then considered how lazy i am and added the two together and all that would aventuate out of it would be
1)rs would not leave the shed for over a year!!![:I][V]

i rang a few places (4 or 5) and i got about around the 1000 mark (thats tunning it on the dyno but not hours perfecting etc) yes its a bit but it would be done right! and quick....

say this had nothing to do with electronics i would be fine, but i have always been as dum as a holden driver at electronics[8~2][V][;^)]

im still contemplating but would like to earn money while i contemplate....i would like to have it all done by around new years. i have been doing the maths all day and completely everything including buying parts, mechanic and adding a bit on as always it comes out to at cheapest $2200 to as much as $3500!!!![:u] but more around the $2500 area.

ohwell either way all the gear gets covered up in the shed till im a bringin in more cash![:p][:I]

cheers
