Timing out a tooth could do it. Be great if that's what it is. I hope we can meet up at SCR sometime this summer. I'll bring my UT along.
I would defo ring ahead about claiming a run. Probably no formal procedure for such a thing, but I can't help really.Sounds like a plan, I hope to have the car ready for next week so summer should be ok. Just going to take me some time to get confidence back and also to iron out some of the last few kinks.
Look forward to seeing the UT too, dont really see many of them about. Is it going to be as quick as mine?

PS i still havent had my run at SCR as I didnt get one last time. Do you just state your name at the ticket desk and they'll dig out the records?

Having turbo cars does bring a larger element of skill and probably much more varied times due to grip/lag issues. There will be a lot of technique to get mine to move off the line at a decent pace! I could see you out dragging me on 1/8 mile due to aforementioned, but I am expecting it to do 14s or something. I hope to have Imprezzas in my sights.![]()
oooh, that sounds spookily familiar, grumbleweed developed exactly the same symptoms the other day after we'd been pratting about with the carb. Don't rule out running too rich, I'd swapped a 105 main jet for a 130 I found in a box of bits so it would have been suppin' on lotsa juice. Swapped that back out for a 110 and it's settled down now (although I've still got to sort out the rough idling) Symptoms sound like icing up in the carb so don't know if over fuelling maybe makes it more prone to that??
The jets are correct for the standard car. I even went to the trouble of buying new emulsion tubes as one or more looked a tiny bit scuffed and I thought mixture wasn't right. The thing is that the turbo is not standard, so perhaps the jets need changing. I just don't understand how it was ever working properly for the person that did all the mods on it in that case though.
Do you have any information on the turbo its got? I cant remember if it was written on some of those old receipts.
There's an invoice from Turbo Technics somewhere. I don't know anything else about the engine.
Well done Simon
I hope that the specialists will at least find the problem if not fix it for you
This is some car!
