Well then. Good luck.

 

The typical ones are between 4.8 and 5 meters long. My car is dam near five meters long..

Also enjoy going metric  

 

Mud boggers won't fit in the arches though. Going to need to sawzall a few bits first

Yes I can!

 

I refuse to go metric I left google maps in imperial.

 

Sawzall it is.

I did some quick reading on the new Mazda engines during lunch break and it seems the superchargers are one of the necessary things to achieve the compression ignition. 

No idea how true this is because it was a really quick read. 

So sounds like the supercharger is just gonna be an air heater. I wouldn't expect a significant performance increase over their current lineups then. Don't get hyped.

Yup. Nothing new except spark plugs. 

Heh , i was expecting that tbh . All of these older 2strokes are pretty much bulletproof , tho basic maintenance is a must . 

 

The issue you are describing is a clogged jet in the carburetor , so giving them a rebuild and cleanup should easily fix it . And give the pulse pumps a check too.

 

Cant wait to hear this thing rip on water

I'm gonna pop the gearbox off and look at the water pump, clean up the carbs (maybe just get new ones unless you can find a rebuild kit for cheaper than $60?) then run it for a while in that oil drum just to get it some exercise. I put way more than 50:1 in that gas can because i was in a hurry and didnt measure it and figured more oil on the bearings that haven't spun sense '06 wouldn't hurt. 

Not really sure you will find Tilotson carbs for cheaper than 60$ , unless they need a rebuild , like yours . 

 

More oil cant "hurt" the engine , but will fould the plugs pretty easily . Also , what oil are you using ?

Tik Tok is my shit. So is S&M and Super Bass. Throwback to middle school man. 

this stuff was all the throwback, and it brought back some serious memories. like every elementary/middle school party i ever attended this shit was blasting.

New carbs I found for ~80 and rebuild kits for $60. I'll look with more motivation now that I know it runs. 

 

I bought a gallon of Lucas Semi Synthetic two cycle oil. 

hmm , never heard of that oil before , i guess its US exclusive ?

Lucas makes a bunch of stuff here. Some of it is pretty popular. Spme of it is pretty good

Ahh .. i myself use nothing but Motul Racing 2stroke Full-synthetic . Pretty pricey 40$/L  but doesnt leave much crud behind , and doesnt smoke alot ... and never had an engine sieze on me .

So this has got me thinking that HCCI won't be done at idle since there is basically no boost? 

 

So it'll only really be beneficial in terms of saving fuel at cruising speed and not in town as much? 

Possibly. Use the plugs for starting and idle with the supercharger behind a clutch for suitable conditions. 

 

Since I'm no chemist I wonder if this will cosmbust at a high enough temperature to start producing NOX. The boogie man in diesel engines.

Will do. Hopefully i don't fuck up, like i did the last 5 interviews. It's an entry level position, it shouldn't  be too hard.

Your car looks like a Koala ? to me

[RevoltTrain]

Any recommended brands for new suspension bushings? 

 

Sadly Energy doesn't make bushings for my car. But I'd love some nice bushings down the line

Yea aha, needs a new nose

 

 

 

But I ain't ready to spend £90 just for this grille

She's gonna look like this from the outside with the black chin bits, no V6 tho

She'll also be getting Halo's eventually too

I love how it looks, I think that would be money well spent

 

The grill I want for my car is about$130IIRC. Someday

A little pricey. But seems like good quality

[RevoltTrain]

Such a cool video to see

 

 

 

Also at the Paul Walker Memorial Ride event they re-enacted the race between "Jesse" and "Tran"

It will be done eventually, just once I've got the important stuff out the way with or I have a spare £100 laying around, they come unpainted so theres that

They're meant to be pretty good bushes, probably gonna be replacing my cars ones with them when bits need changing

[iDeFecZx]

Also got a couple of custom made stickers being done atm

 

Its gonna be in the theme of the french flag once its complete

Same here. I just need to get my car on the road first, then new tires all around, brakes, downpipe, then I can think about aesthetic pieces. 

 

Didn't mean it as a bad thing. You definitely get what you pay for
