I haven't tried it yet, I forgot, I'll get onto it tomorrow.

Obviously, that is the first thing I tried. With modern elbows you can't just guess what the problem is, you have to plug in the scanner to see what codes they have.

Yay Thursday Got an ultrasound and xray booked for my elbow next week. Hopefully nothing too hectic is wrong with it, I need the farker working so I can work out the way I want.

It just makes the car better lol. Kinda like having creatine when you lift weights. It doesn't do a whole lot but it does something

Not today but last night, I changed the torque converter lockup schedule on my na+t territory. There's a you beaut OSS tool in the PCMTec software, you chuck in your wheel size, gear ratios and diff ratio, of which the last two can be plucked from the tune. With that you can decide when you want the converter to lock up. I went through and made gears 1 thru 4 stay unlocked until 4000rpm, I left 5th and 6th alone for cruise economy. Now the converter flashes up a little bit quicker, it comes on boost a bit quicker, gear changes are smoother and a kick down has it hauling ass immediately, although it kinda already was like that. 4000rpm is about 140kph in 4th, so a normal kickdown from 6th to 4th to overtake means it's on boost straight away and has a bit more power due to it being slightly higher in the rev range from the converter slip. I am still very tempted to install my built trans with its 3200rpm stall speed, just gonna wait until I can be farked.

The Late model camira one looks like a pretty easy solution. Cheap enough too that if it sucks, or rather doesn't suck enough, you can just donate it to goodwill. Edit: it pulls 29.5 inhg or 14.5psi vacuum, that's more than a stock barra at idle.

I had a ham sammich with bbq sauce for lube, a nectarine, 2 plums and a bunch of grapes. Yay Wednesday

Man I'm hungry! Time for a late night sammich methinks

Not being facetious but you can just press the pedal harder, I did that with mine all the time. I also had a split booster in my other car and the pedal was like a rock in that. I'd just press the fark out of it and it worked fine. Not so much for the missus though lol. Thinking outside the box here, you could raise your idle speed a couple hundred rpm, might be enough to make a difference you can live with.

Turbo?

I think he meant 1.4 bar which is 20.3psi. 2.4 bar is 34.8psi, ain't nobody running that on a stock tmap.

Farken yay Tuesday @Slowxr6t This video is for you mate

That poor mower, mine only gets 98 lol

Haha yeah I already knew how sh*t it was, I wanted a quick and easy solution so I used it again. I'll do the front mount sooner or later.

While we're on the topic of making more power, the top mount intercooler is a complete piece of garbage. By the end of a pull it has yanked all the timing out and in some cases it will only have 1 degree of timing in it. Even normal driving is significantly affected cos the intercooler is preheating the air going in. I'm fairly sure it will pick up 50awkw, give or take, just from fitting a front mount. I measured it at 230awkw at 12psi so there is a lot of power left on the table with cooler IAT's.

This little one has more in it if I want to make more power but honestly it's pretty good already. I could swap it for sh*ts and giggles but it's a fair bit of work and I am already sick of working on it lol. Not to mention it has 363xxxkm on it and has the skinny rods, I don't want to chuck a rod out.

Pump done, re-tuned and ready to go. Now I wont touch it until I get bored again, then it can get a Plazmaman front mount intercooler, TS Raceport BOV and Plazmaman turbo plenum. Oh and it needs a set of valve springs before any of that. I have 2 unopened sets in the shed that will get the job done.

Yeah it's the bad one pumping out the fuel. I'm onto the second jerry now, it's slowed right down and is only pumping about 1 litre per minute. Looks like I'll be here a while...

Holy cow man, I'm pumping the fuel out and the fuel pump is making all kinds of grinding noises

Yay Monday I'd better go out and swap the fuel pump today. Fun fun

Use Forscan and see what code is being logged. It's free to download and you'll need a tactrix cable or similar to plug in.

So yeah, got through my first week of strength training fine then pulled the trans out my car. Trans tried to fall so I caught it and farked my elbow...again. I didn't train for the remainder of last week, I worked on my car instead which is still some kind of physical exercise. My elbow is bearable just sitting around doing frig all, but something is wrong and I need it to be 100% to train heavy or even light with high reps. Even benching sucks, the left side is strong af with no pain and the right side says yeah nah. I've got an appointment with the doctor next week so hopefully I can get something sorted. Worst case I'll need some more time off that elbow movement, which I will use to get everything else big and strong. I can still deadlift, squat, curl in the squat rack, use the pec deck etc so I might be doing a lot more of that, we'll see how it goes.

Yay Sunday

Yeah man I love being able to sing well, it's a lot of practice to keep it up though. Just like anything I suppose.

My guitar playing has suffered, I rarely play now and can't remember 99% if the stuff I wrote over the years. I can still play alright though, just not nearly as good lol. I still keep up with singing practice, I doubt I'll ever stop with that.
