JAE 2013 - Discussion Thread!

[Harlen]

So tomorrow is the last preparation day. Anybody starting to feel the pinch of little time left?

I am due to no brakes... I say no brakes... they work but a low pedal suggests a balooning pipe... even though they're new and braided

Damn that means it's car detailing/go out and buy demon shine for me!

Actually this poses a good question;

For basic show cleaning - Demon shine or autoglym instant show shine?

I'm only up the road from Wicksteed so i'll be doing a full detail of the car the day before, and then just giving it a once over when i arrive again.

 

[h701micra]

Or air in the system... but that's fine, I'll bring a brake bleeding kit. I'm bringing plenty of tools

I did wonder if people were bringing tools etc

I've bled it 4 times. I've got some new standard rubber hoses I'll chuck them on. Bleed through and keep you posted
Got a big pressure tester in the shop to test the master cylinder too anddd a co analyzer to set that carb up if possible

Random question: Are bottles allowed on site? My favourite drinks are all in bottles but I know a lot of places are funny about them.

YES

Picked the worst week for this to happen, and it's probably going to crack straight through and fall off.

 

[pollyp]

YES

Picked the worst week for this to happen, and it's probably going to crack straight through and fall off.

tie the lower end to the upper end with some wire so that if it does fail, it's at least attached together and not just fall straight to the floor whilst on the road at speed

 

[Stani1029]

This happened to mines the day before banzai day at crail, was about 3/4 cracked. Pretty common on glanza manifolds

 

[h701micra]

Can you not drill the ends of the crack and use the wire like Paul said ??

 

[h701micra]

So folks. We bringing tools etc and playing cars?
Now I know my issues were neither air or fuel related I'm gonna plumb my swirl pot back up with some help

 

[Enuo]

Only need a screw driver or two and a few jubilee clips.. and we'll set up some fancy fuel gear

 

[Enuo]

My toolbox is 5ft x 3ft x 2ft odd and full of tools, electrical and pneumatic odds and ends, my bag weighs about 3kg

[Enuo]

Come on, you can manage it, just clean all your grounds and clean all your plugs and connectors before giving up entirely

Vacuum is only for advance on overun which is to reduce fuel consumption, just remove it and plug up the vacuum line.
