Awesome mate has it been mapped properly yet with the throttle bodies?
Probably a bit rich for running in...?
awesome, glad to hear youve got little-to none running-in issues
Pretty well.Quote:

Will stick few hundred miles on it, see how it goes then maybe pop it over to him again for a check & see if its running too rich.
It is very quick with 300bhpQuote:

He has more power, i have less weight so pretty close.
Need to get a full suspension set up.
Was thinking of getting it corner weighted & a geometry set up as the year goes on & funds alow!
I wouldnt worry about fuel-related smoke, all TB'd cars get it - much safer than leaning out! ;)
I get it when I am flat out and also when I pootle for prolonged periods and then deck it....
Looking good mate
looks a bit more than just fuel to me but i could be wrong, once its mapped properly you'll have a better indication? have you a wideband you'll see instantly if its rich, if it is just rich then it must be in the 10's or even richer as its puffing it out at a fair rate!!!! but tbh though i think its oil its too light to be fuel and the quantity if it was fuel it wouldnt run very well, and it sounds pretty crisp
looks nice though, is that an sccr i hear????
Ah - I didnt even watch the vid and cant at work...
It shouldnt be fuel then if its been mapped properly - at least not that much...
Looks awesome mate, sounds even better! Again one of the car's that made me want a XE in a nova even when it was Carbed lol
As for the smoke issues, it's hard to tell, do you get a burnt oil smell in the car before, or after booting it? i do some times on mine, and im not 100% sure whether mines a mix of fuel/oil yet, as mine is still in need of a map, it's on the list.
Hope it's nothing to serious though, be nice to see it, you coming to billing Martin?

Mate following says when i shut off it pops & get a flame inside the exhaust which mays me think its more to do with fuel than oil.
Do a few more miles then propobably pop upto Toovey & plug laptop back in & see what the crack is.
Billing, not sure yet. Would like to pop down on the Sunday but i'am away just before at Goodwood, then Mrs birthday so see if i can score enough browney points with her from now till then :)
