Since I smelt gas I figured it was rich, I put the wideband on it yesterday and it's like 19:1...I'm getting a snap on scope tomorrow and try and track down the problem but there's no way I can figure out the problem and get it fixed then prep the car for the track before friday.

Its really crappy to bail @ the last minute... if you're not driving and your students are signed off you can usually get someone to look after your students for the last few sessions and bail out by 2-3pm sunday.

Take a mallet and with the spring unloaded (as much as you can) tap around the bottom of the lower pearch UP, start off with light taps and go all the way around, then try to turn, keep hitting harder and harder until it frees up.

The mallet method definitely works. Especially after you've sprayed half a can of WD-40 on the frozen perch and waited the amount of time it takes to drink one beer. :wink:

Would prefer to use one that has already seen that track as it's more disposable, but thanks

You can use mine but it's D8, not MiniDV.
It's got a 10 hour battery so won't have to worry about charging.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth |
