So diff is sorted out of an f6 which is nice,

Just have to find a clutch! 

Also I've used doctor google alot and every topic says just sell it and buy a manual..

Which is NOT happening 

The things im struggling with is reverse lock out, Reverse Lights and the plug on the clutch pedal, Any ideas?

Took her to the drags yesterday and was 34 degrees out

Running e10 managed a best time of 12.3 which im pretty happy considering how most cars were struggling big time however on my last run of the day disaster struck 

Idled up to the line ready to do a burn out and go to give it some power and nothing happens at all. So I managed to idle it out of the way and was watching my torque scanner and everytime I gave it power it would pull timing to around -1.5 degrees and just cough and splutter. I turned it off let it cool down for 10 minutes, went for a short drive and was all good but after 30 seconds it started pullling timing and cutting fuel hard again. Managed to turn it off and let it cool down again. Got to the servo only just after some coughing and splating when I got there. Filled her up from 1/4 full and she behaved perfectly the whole trip home. Its done this twice before both on hot days both idling for extended periods. 

Now im thinking this could be an issue with the fuel pumps themselves (I think they are a DW300 as its the first style of kpm twin intank 300lph units before the went to their own pump) or an issue with cooked fuel causing a pressure issue?

All I know is Cylinder head temps were good (120 degrees), Coolant temp was also good (Floating around high 90s), IATs (61 Degrees). Doesnt make sense

Anyone have an idea?

Hurry up MattyP and install the tranny so the tread works again

Money's on the fuel pumps, the DW300s are sh*te, have seen a heap of complaints of ethanol killing them quickly and my DW300 surge pumps didn't last long.

Not a fan of the KPM setup either after seeing the pics of it torn down in Jim's GT thread on AFF.

It is a laughing matter when the old bosch technology trumps reliability of the latest and "greatest" weeeeee

Honest question but why have the 044s fallen out of favour for these other pumps?

And bad luck matt hope its a simple fix

Fark dw300s

Im not sure if they were DW300s.

I like the Walbros anyway

044s aren't e85 rated (500 hours now I believe)

Could be the reg as well. Could be alot things but I just want to run e85 full time for the manual swap so walbros it is

So its started misbehaving a little 

She through up P0356 Ignition coil F Primary/Secondary Circuit 

Also at idle and light load it misses occasionally, but at wot its perfect

Is this cylinder 6 (the back one)? and if so could it be spark plug related? 

I remember when I changed the plugs I dropped that one in by accident but was going fine up until now :(

 

Any ideas?

Also rego due at the start of may looks like itll be manual before then.. :))
