Re: Tyre sizing?

As far as I’m am aware, other than bigger anti-roll bars no ‘clever things’ were done with the suspension until the 964

F*ck it. Just ordered another 5 injectors.

If I run out of time before then I can always pop them in during the trip

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

I’m guessing the others will be too I’ve got an injector cleaner kit but also today a new injector arrived...

Thanks Wayne. I think I’ve got one somewhere as well. But I’m still focussing on the injector initially

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

All good stuff but I'll be judging it after I get at that injector. I'm hoping that is the smoking gun

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Also can you check the voltage at that injector just to make sure it’s getting a signal to open? I’m not doing that now as I’m knackered. Also I checked all the wiring the other day and also also the signal goes to all 3 injectors simultaneously. And also also also that wouldn’t explain the leaking...

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

It’s a good start Mark. A mere misfire won’t stop you now. If I were you I’d be buying a set (or at least a couple) of injectors before you go mountain climbing. Also possibly some o rings for the connection to the rail. Best of luck as ever Great minds - I’ve just ordered a new injector - Design 9...

Hi Mark, interested in your throttle linkage age/mileage (ie the car) as I’m sure mine is also quietly sitting there wearing away? I didn’t check it last time I had the engine out, oops! it actually snapped further up the shaft about 5 years ago when Centre Gravity were doing a road test after sett...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Two steps forward one step back…… OK so I drove up to collect the ECU and chatted to David. he said that it had blown something (a resistor?) and effectively that had acted as a fuse and saved the rest of the board. He replace the blown part and a few other things that were worth doing while he was ...
