Geez remind me not to call anyone a legend. I guess I was excited that there was a problem I did something and it solved it, and this was in part because someone (SK) said that is was probably a badly ground ECU. By the way it did come back on the drive around but I moved the ECU again and it disappeared. Now that I know what the deal is - a combination of the wiring touching the ECU and the ECU moving (not grounding properly) - and how to solve it, the rest is easy. Its not knowing the faintest whats wrong or how to solve it that really sucks...And yes see yas Sunday...

Cheers

Matt

Yeah, yeah Matt....we have to keep Simons head size down so that all his hats fit

I hope the ECU is going to be securely located and bolted to a good earth for the run on Sunday....watch out for places where terminals, connectors or wiring can touch or vibrate over to metal bits....earths.

it's OK.. I don't mind being called a foot every now and then - I don't really have a big head, just Mick is snooty cos I know how old he is

so is the ECU screwed down to something now?

Message to all....Mick is NOT snooty .....Mustangs

A friend of mine in the Mustang club has told me they are doing a run out to Bowning on Sunday within a half hour off the Minis....so....trying get a little parade happening, maybe starting at Hall.

Simon, yeah it was bolted before but obviously not perfectly. I will spend Sat arvo sorting this one out. Yeah I'll be there at 10 as well irrespective but I think the Mustangs would add rather than detract from the cruise. Big and Small.

Cheers

Yeah...turn up at 1000...I have asked that the Stangs leave a little earlier than their 1000 from Civic...I should get a call from my friend Sunday morn.

I specifically asked Minstar to leave the old girls alone....half of them have creaky old 289s and their brakes are legendary (bad) anyway.....it wouldn't be a fair contest

how was the cruise fellas?

what does .Dickhead Skins mean?

I'm sure CPOCSM can field that question

Cruise went well, no breakdowns which is always a highlight! CPOCSM, Minstar and me took the alternate route home through some twisties. Both of those Minis went well, I was certainly flying trying to catch up to them after I got stuck behind that bloody caravan... and I was on a motorbike!

Yeah great, pity about the dampness the Minstar was moving about quite a bit on the road back to Sutton. And I tell you what Rob's 998 was no slouch either . The the temp needle rose a little (after 30 mins flat out) so I backed off abit.

My first cruise. Can we have another can we, can we... . I guess I will have to wait for the Araluen Run 3000.

Cheers

Matt
