  wow the MJJC Foam Canon S V3.0 looks great and as you say it has a nice Knob :) - its the sort of thing I should use after we have been rallying the mini. - Plastic planetary rings on the starter motor what a bugger - its always the way with any event there is always a last minute panic with badly timed breakdowns - anyway good luck - gutted I cant make this year

  Hope that was a genuine Mercedes timing chain, I’ve replaced a fair few of the non genuine ones that customers had had fitted a few hundred miles before and the rattled like hell. The non starting could be stale fuel if it’s been sat for ages, if the rev counter raises slightly during cranking it’s getting a crank signal. Timing wise the little hole on the sprocket needs to be halfway covered by the cylinder head. Hope this helps 👍

• 
  @Thecarislife2 ай бұрын

  It wasn’t a genuine kit. I’ve done many chains on different cars with none genuine parts and not had a problem (so far). The old kit seemed to be the sprockets worn more than anything. It’s started since. Not sure why it wasn’t. I’m having coms issues to. It seemed to start better after knocking the SAM module so I think me and it will part company soon

  Adam, I was very lucky to be gifted a brand new TIG welder from Steve at D3Sshooter channel. The Argon gas will make a big difference plus the correct tungsten rods will help a lot. I find keeping the tungsten tip the correct distance from the work peice and moving quite hard but what surprised me was even with 1mm is how low the amps can be and still get a really nice weld. It is something Amir & I need to practice more but the heat distortion is far less then MIG. Good luck 😉 Cheers Dave

  Drag Racing tips: It'll be worth trying a few runs avoiding the water and instead just do a dry spin or two (It may be quicker it may not be but its worth experimenting) Unless you're doing really smoky burnouts you'll never generate enough heat to burn off all the water so your tyres will most likely still be damp at launch. Also if a front wheel drive car ahead of you does a burnout through the water, don't forget his REAR tyres will carry water all the way up to the start line, so try and line up slightly to the left or right of him so you're not sat in his water. Drag Racing gets addictive, so try different launch rpms, shift rpms, try with and without the water, try every conceivable type of tyre and tyre pressure, fronts could be as low as 15psi (start in the low 20's), rears should be as narrow as possible and pumped up hard as bullets (40psi+) to reduce rolling resistance, then there's sneaky tricks like draining the fuel tank to leave only 5 litres in it, empty your washer bottle, taking your wiper arms off and removing unnessesary drive belts (On my 1965 VW Beetle I went from a 14.3 to a 13.7 just by simply removing the fanbelt)...Have fun!

• 
  @Thecarislife6 ай бұрын

  That’s some great advice thanks. I have all sorts to work on. On my last day I wanted to play with tyre pressures but I only got about 5 runs in and was concentrating on rpm and shifting mostly. I also need to change my rear wheel bearings and get some 145 rear tyres. I can get smoke off my front slicks, only just!!

  Hi Tim I hav the same welder , mine was sold by Mac Tools I presently dont have access to a 220 volt outlet at the place we are renting so my big welder is in storage. I replaced my torch with one from yeswelder with the valve in the head like it originally had but a much better gun. I had problems with my torch in the handle there was a set of breaker points that were pretty much worn away . I have had this welder for almost 30 years and it's bailed me out several times. I like to use CO2 in it, especially on exhausts.
