Start stockpiling K-series head gaskets
Tue, 11 Aug 2009 07:29:26 +0100
Unless the inswearance suddenly change their minds, I might be the proud
owner of a very early S1 Elise in about a week's time or however long it
takes the PO to get his personal plate off the car.
I'm not sure if that's a smart move but I'm sick of looking at
overdescribed sheds halfway across the country.

Good game, good game.
Mon, 10 Aug 2009 19:25:35 +0100
To quote Brucie.
Anyway, I was bored this afternoon heading back home along the old pack
road that runs parallel to the main road in these parts. So board I
devised this silly game (needs satnav and an empty road).
Look at satnav.
Note distance to the next turning.
Accelerate up to the legal limit then ...

TOTALLY OT: Great MTB vid

As someone who used to ride this type of style about 10 years ago,
this vid just blew me away.

What's the verdict on...
Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:21:22 +0100
... using a Chimaera on the track? A Rover engined one, obviously. Or
would it be cheaper and less stupid to just jump off Beachy Head?

HIDs
Sun, 9 Aug 2009 20:56:11 +0100
Okay, finally, the Saab has blown a headlight bulb. You need the hands of a
small child to replace the bulb and if I'm going to go to this effort, I may
as well get HIDs at the same time.
Those who have replaced their headlights... have you had any issues so far?

Tech Edge O2 unit.
Sun, 09 Aug 2009 09:02:59 +0100
I've built a Tech Edge unit to interface a wideband Lambda sensor with my
MegaSquirt. Neither of which is actually fitted to the car yet as I want
to make sure everything works properly before doing so.
According to the software everything is ok, I've flashed in the latest
version and it calibrates in free air ok ...

When did these get this cheap?

Mind you, they're probably very expensive when used on the track.

Another day (well, night), another kit car
Sat, 08 Aug 2009 09:01:23 +0100
As I am still quite taken by the idea of a lightweight kit car with a
reasonable size engine, I went out to Bristol last night.
For starters, if you want to go to Bristol, don't start from East London
or Kent. Traffic was utterly horrible, it took me 4 1/2 hours out there
and almost four hours back and that wa ...
