My friend who is balancing the TWM throttle bodies finished the front end alignment and was taking the car out earlier today and smelled fuel. Drove it on the alignment lift and found a small leak starting in the -6 braided line. Now awaiting the new -6 line to be delivered and between the two of us will get it buttoned up. Hopefully back at the house before the end of the week. Fair guess, but my gauge should be solid 40 while running, which is target and I've replaced many lines since purchase. I dont think a leak is my problem. Certainly shouldnt affect only one cylinder. Edited April 8 by Vovchandr

I dont think a leak is my problem. Certainly shouldnt affect only one cylinder. What stymies me is the issue changing from one cylinder to another. Almost as if the coil was going bad, or the earlier mentioned dirt in the fuel line or fuel barrel leading to the injectors themselves. Has the drop in exhaust temp ever occurred in more then one cylinder at a time, or always just one? The typical way one cylinder runs cold is due to a misfire, bad plug, bad wire, bad coil, but again, with this being a rolling issue makes me believe a bad coil pack vs a bad injector.

Vovchandr Posted June 30 Author Posted June 30 Back to regular fenders still since 2024 track day failure of the CSR fenders and aluminum mounts from Westermann. First trip since 2025 track day to work. I have a theory for the failure point for the fenders. The left one shakes A LOT under hard braking at the end of the straight leading to failures. Which is why fenders survive fine on the street but die on race track. This could be due to poor alignment (which I've never done) on a car after messing with the tie rods and fender swaps I'm likely quite off. Otherwise car is doing OK. I still need to update my fuel map and retest it. Car does great at WOT right now so it's great on track but part throttle at part RPM it runs poorly and that is mostly city driving. With that said I don't know how some people daily these things. Just going out for a 30 mile city drive beats me up. Maybe its my setup with sequential maybe its something else but it definitely beats you up 1

It was fairly simple to do and much easier to live with. I removed the old switch and its steering lock. IIRC the new ignition switch was for a '60s Chevrolet truck purchased new from NAPA. It is the silver circle between the two gauges on the right side of the dash board. That's where I put the 12v power point (cigar lighter). Well, flip the photo since my car is RHD. Anyway, it is handy for iPhone charging, tire pump, and works the other way with a battery tender so I don't have to remove the hood. It is wired direct to the car's battery with its own fuse. It is the only thing that stays live when the racecar system switch is off. Edited July 18 by pethier

Have you found the answers to price and availability!
Vovchandr Posted August 5 Author Posted August 5 I realized I posted this to wrong thread. This was supposed to go to video thread. I'm waiting on marketing pictures from creator and I'll make a thread to see who's interested. There's about a 5% discount if we get five people. It's not considerable but better than nothing. Trying to sort out shipping.
Vovchandr Posted August 18 Author Posted August 18 Back to stock non CSR fenders for now. The fix for the CSR mount just happened after yet another left side fender or mount failure at NJMP I prefer CSR styling wise and will swap again
Vovchandr Posted September 21 Author Posted September 21 CSR fenders are back on Looks like they need a reinforcement skeleton made inside as they keep flexing and rubbing 1
