XR4Bill Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 not heard from anyone in a while. Is there possibly a meet/blat/autox event pending maybe? I go to the Dyno on Thursday, so all being well, Im hoping I will be back on the road again. Bill.
Z3 Stalker Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I will not be back into town till the 30th, so will be good to go that weekend:)
XR4Bill Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 couple of small issues to fix and Im ready to roll again. Cant wait, but I will. Bill.
GavinR Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Hey XR4Bill I have a complete set of molds for your Lotus in my basement.:deadhorse: Gavin
XR4Bill Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 Hey XR4Bill I have a complete set of molds for your Lotus in my basement.:deadhorse: Gavin I think I already have that suspicion about that. How about another driveshaft? Bill
Aerobod Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I think I already have that suspicion about that. How about another driveshaft? Bill Any idea yet if you can get the driveshaft out without removing the engine & transmission? Pity you missed the 2nd day at Ft Macleod, nicer weather and warmer tyres (at least for the 2nd and 3rd run group, which wasn't us!). james.

Drive shaft is out and Im hoping to get in back early next week. Engine/tranny still in place. Need to build some safety hoops into the tunnel when I get the drive shaft back. Bill.
XR4Bill Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 just a heads up to all the Alberta 7 guys and others out there. Stewart, alias Z3 Stalker has sold his Stalker. We hope to see you back, in a 7 some time in the future, all the very best to you and the Boss. Bill.
lancylad Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Oh my..thats not good. All the best, wonder whats next for the Yorky?
lancylad Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Its down to you and me Bill, better get mine back on the road!
XR4Bill Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Its down to you and me Bill, better get mine back on the road! I'm still waiting for my drive shaft. I'm hoping for today though. Bill
Aerobod Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I'm still waiting for my drive shaft. I'm hoping for today though. Bill Hopefully you can get it back on the road this weekend, unfortunately it doesn't look much like good blatting weather. Have to do a bit of work on the Caterham too, some rough running that it has been experiencing seems to be getting worse, getting spikes in the TPS voltage between closed and a quarter throttle according to data logging I did on the weekend. Just got a new TPS sensor today, so hopefully that will fix the issue. James.

I got the drive-shaft today, so Im hoping to make up and install some safety hoops and repair the paneling and also the rear brake line and hand brake assembly in the near future. I also have some backfiring issues on decel which I need to address when I get the car back on the road. cheers, Bill.

Looks like I've got a bit more work to do, too. Not just a simple issue of a failing TPS. The brand new one also has spikes with the same characteristics as the old one (typically 2 to 4 at a time 50 milliseconds or so wide, occurring every minute or two, but only when the TPS output is from the min 1.3V to about 2V), so I'll have to look at potential cross talk, grounding and other electrical noise issues.
