Framed log 44 print up on the wall with the other two - it's not quite as nice as the log41/42 prints, but also a couple hundred dollars cheaper...
-
Yeah I read that whole thread @CBuff and came up with the wix one I list lol
-
Went ahead and ordered a fresh jug of Motul 8100 5w50 and a wix 57035 filter - if anyone has a different favorite let me know, the Internet was surprisingly unhelpful for this oil filter.
-
Finally up on the lift, found my coolant leak, not sure which connection it's coming from - but went ahead and tightened all 3 clamps in the line where I see yellow crust. Still at the "min" mark on the tank, so just something to keep an eye on for now

Thanks for the video @savagete2860 - I went ahead and put the suggestions into a google doc for easier reference - I need to convert Nm to murica freedom units and fill in the missing ones still (might go grab the build manual from the garage during this next work meeting..) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xVaQPB7p7hupq6vaYoyDKtKSJfh_D52d3PYb4nHmbnA/edit?usp=drivesdk

That doesn't make sense...I had to pull out my phone flashlight to find the defogger switch. Shouldnt be like that. I'll see if I can figure out how to "fix" it, even if it's by design.
-
Seems incorrect to me. I haven't had a chance, but I'm going to pull some voltage/etc one of these days
-
I did the oil analysis in my Evora and they told me 3000 was quicker than necessary - I'll send them my first couple and see what they recommend
-
Thanks for adding your experiences! I wasn't planning an oil change until next season - I didn't remember there being any "break-in" notes in the build manual, is it recommended to do it early for the first one?

hyper7 started following 900 miles on the clock, list of items to look at
-
So after LOG last weekend, the car now has over 900 miles on it...and I have a list of things to look at. This thread is really just a collection of what I need to do. Coolant smell - I'm sure there's a leak somewhere, hopefully just some clamps need tightened Clunk when shifting/engaging drivetrain - quick Google give me a list of threads complaining about similar stuff, so maybe "normal" Missing screw on engine cover - looks like it worked itself out and fell out at some point Buzz at certain rpms - I'm not worried about this one, I'm sure it's just a resonance issue Idle bouncing between 1200 and 1800 rpms, need to do a little digging in that one Handbrake light comes on in hard right turns - probably a wire issue Three right most switches (defog, backfog lights, hazards) don't light up when lights are turned on, but do light up when they are flipped.. Lastly my wheel is very slightly off center by one spline. Anybody got anything else I should once over while looking at stuff? I went through and retorqued a bunch of nuts before I left for the drive, and found a surprising number not quite as tight as I expected.

Yeah I said hi briefly while you were chatting with Fred (the red Caterham), I was making sure you had the trailer work handled that you had mentioned here 😎
-
Ahh ok, yeah my half-hood was on for the drive up as it was cold and occasionally rainy - but I took it off when we got there
