CLG is going to die laughing when he reads this thread....I'm glad he is not in WA right now

CLG is too tired to laugh, but fear not, he also makes enormous mistakes that take a long time to get over!

ST205 is going alright now right?

[CLG]

I believe so, dunno havent driven it in nearly a month.

you should have sen tme the loom to get wired up

they are very easy to do hehehe

both nissan and toyota have afew ecus that if not wired with a relay on a certain wire will fry the ecu in 2 minutes

its fun when people read the diagrams but dont realise it needs a relay hehehe

Why I should I do something sensible like that when I can stuff simple things up good and proper by myself ???

Anyway - thanks to Clint yet again for his invaluable help - car is 1000% better, I can keep up with the traffic now...
Going to look at the timing belt next to see if I have jumped a cog or two.

Thanks for the rep dude. Does your signature need updating GTE/GZE?
Anyway - no one else will make the number of stupid dumbass mistakes I have made.
This is just a community service annoucement! Cheers.

There is a stupid acid yellow High-undies Excel with a 2ft rear wing, std engine and coffee tin zorst here in Perth, (Victoria Park area for the locals) and I got hosed by it one day in my RA23, and its just shameful/pitiful/sad/disgusting/etc/etc.

Mitch,

I'll give you some rep too - especially since I've heard your supercharger belt snapped today on the way up to the cruise - would have been the first time to see you and the RA23 on the road

Loved your story of dramas - believe me, you're not the only one! And I'll try to keep the smilies to a minimum

Bloody High-undies!!!! Before I got my 2TGEU turbo sorted, they used to embarrass me too! One of my motivations for getting things sorted, and if one ever tries it on now - watch-out!!!

Re: the drags and your name on the list, there's another Mitch (with a TA22) who went along. I thought it was you myself, but alas you're not the only Mitch in town

The SPIDA had a good run and did a best 15.3 sec run. I think with some improvements (mainly to driver), that can be bettered.

Catch-up soon.

Gene

Thanks mate.
Yes - story of my life - almost making it somewhere and then failing badly at the last minute.
Anyway - another belt change tomorrow and back into the fray I reckon!
Cheers,
Mitch.

Sideshow - yes mate you are right here, but I like to have a go at these sort of things myself - that way I might learn something!.

And yes, that was exactly what I did, fried the ECU after 'testing' it with 12v DC direct to see if the S/C switch was working - which it was!

Better call me next time you are in Perth mate - you will spot me from the plane as you are landing - the smoking black and blazing orange RA23 on fire and me adding petrol to the thing !

Cheers,
Mitch.
