Garage Day, 21/22 January in Mansfield

[Davezj]

I will bring boost leak stuff a jack axle stands laptop the usual stuff. If my gas injector turns up I will be fitting that.
I need to do loads of stuff to my car but not got the parts at the moment.
I will pick Jason's brain on using multi maps in the ECU.
As I want to be able to run my car hard on petrol as well as gas and the gas ignition timing is far to advance to run hard on petrol it will knock it's tits off on petrol.

I second Garrys opinion to get arb links changed at the same time as they cost so little and old ones probably need to be cut off to get struts out for spring change.

It appears to be eventful weekend.

Why is everyone so far away?

It's about 3 miles further than Area 52, which you've come up for multiple times!!

[adaxo]

So when is party starts? @Davezj I assume we made a mini convoy to spice things up a bit so what time you plan to leave Manchester?

[Confused]

I'm out for a little while on Friday night - but you are more than welcome to rock up on Friday if you wished, there will be someone who can let you in.

Otherwise - I'll be up and out in the garage first thing on Saturday morning, so arrive whenever you want!

I still haven't got my car mapped. Remember your cable next time and I'll try to remember my laptop.

it's still almost 2 tanks of fuel round trip. I'll hold on for the next rr day there for the chat.

[Confused]

I'm sure there will be a little bit of on-road mapping going on at some point...

Plus there's space to sleep, which you won't have coming to Area 52!

Colin and Im sure you get lot more chat (jobs done) over two days and one night than on any RR day or one day Japfest type meet.

Yes a convoy is on the cards.
I am easy about times for going down. I can leave at any time from about 4.00am Saturday morning.

OK, maybe not that early! I'll probably be up and thinking of getting out to the garage any time from 8 So - feel free to turn up and get cracking on!

FOUR AM!!!???

Im struggling to wake up b4 8 for looong time, I suggest that we safely can leave 9-10 to avoid traffic and arrive 11-12 at Gary's ready for action. Which way we do go Dave? boring M62 up and M1 down or through snake pass? me think its heavy weather dependant as if its crap they may shut snake pass

Things I will be bringing:

* The usual ECU tuning kit (Openport 2.0, innovate LC-1) plus Davezj's dongle so 7201 and H8/539 ECUs can be tuned
* Toolkit with gas soldering iron, shrink wrap etc
* Multimeter and Sillyscope (Oscilloscope)
* Dremel (battery type)
* Bits and bobs box
* Boombox
* Snacks

Things my car needs (where to start hahaha):

* Full engine flush and oil change (got oil filter but don't have enough oil nor sump plug washer)
* AYC pump change (got a pump, don't have AYC fluid)
* Auto gearbox service (got nothing for this)
* Cracked front turbo needs repair with something called "chemical metal". No idea.
* Front side lights both need replacing (got bulbs, but having LED headlamps may be a b***h)
* One of the front fog lights has blown
* Leaky rear exhaust manifold
* Creaking suspension
* Gear shift needs replacing (and that weird gator thing to stop things falling into the gear selector, got a replacement shifter though)
* Suspension is tired
* Rear wiper is a noisy animal

Truth told I'm not expecting any of mine to be done as I'm skint, but I am happy to trade favours for elbow grease and fluids (ooh err!!) and / or for things I'm trying to sell here

Frankly though I'm just there for a club day out and lend a hand

[adaxo]

I will bring about half gallon of ayc fluid to do pump check/swap sure it will be plenty to do more than one.

[Confused]

@foxdie can you put your thinking cap on about a 7201 and preventing the CEL when no solenoids are hooked up for the TCL and carbon canister vent The first may be dealt with just by flashing a manual ROM Would be nice to finally get rid of the CEL in the Anglia again!

[foxdie]

Simplest solution? Measure the resistance of each and put half watt resistors in place of them?

Good thinking, smartass!

Will be good to see you again, Paul!

[Will Rose MS]

So what's the postcode to aim for?

[Confused]

Sent you a PM.

If I've not sent anyone my address, just send me a PM
