You got "Ta(rga)" make this club run! (NOW)May 26th Hunua Ranges, Auck

[Speedhog]

There is an Event on that day but with the car still off the track and on the hoist (engine out for G/Box repairs) and a nagging wife (aka When is the next MR2 Run??)

Madaz2 Reporting for Duty!

Reporting for Drury?

That is quite possible!

Rodney it'll be good to see you on a run again mate!
Madaz.
Don't forget to bring a spare set of tyres...

I'm missing them I must admit, but also missing out on racing too.
I'll more than likely throw on some tarmac tyres for the day, as I need more time on them, to find limits of the tyres. (multiple rims FTW!)

Will be good to have you on the run Rodney!

Dry sump (that's a joke)

Actually, that's Plan D (but hopefully it doesn't come to that... $$$... )

Yeah I am worried about the oil line level into the sump with mine also. Although when the engine is running your oil level isn't up that high.

... but when you accelerate the oil in the oil sump pushes against the back wall exactly where (my) return line is...

Vent to atmosphere also to make sure. They will pull you up if you go for a cert.

Really?? So, it's legal to remove a CAT but not vent crankcase to atmosphere?
I'll have to do some reading on LVV Cert...

[psyguy]

Ivor - how about you and me get together to sort out the next Westie run mate? I know a few good roads...

Sounds good Charlie, text me when you've got time!

Actually, I think if you go for a cert you might need one, but it's legal to pull it off afterwards? I'm really not sure I remember the rules being convoluted.

I was told it needed and PCV off the catch can and for it to be plumbed back into the intake. Which I did then took that off after I passed and put a filter on it.

I meant the cat

[Mr-Paulio]

I meant the cat

Passed the cert without one of those also....

Poor Ivor might need one

[psyguy]

Poor Ivor might need one {CAT}

The exhaust pipe I got happens to have a new CAT on it
I actually like those things

Do you possibly have LVV details on the oil catch cans / crankcase ventilation, Michael?

That's hopefully a less restrictive one. I like them too except for when they do nothing except choke the exhaust.

You'll need one because it's not a motorsport car and because the engine is after 1975 as per the emissions guidelines.

This topic was also covered on the LVVTA forum IIRC which is a good place for authoritive answers in layman's terms.

I do sympathize because it's more work, but provided your catch can is good enough (shove a bunch of metal kitchen scrubbers in 2L AliExpress special) you shouldn't get a very dirty intake.

[Mr-Paulio]

Can one of the club Facebook admins create an event or share this link on the page? (I'm not sure who they are??) I spoke nicely to the Auckland MR2 guys and they let me share the event on their page which so far has more interest. Need to get those numbers up team

[nivek]

Some great roads in south auckland. I will be coming

Thanks for the info Michael.
I'll make sure I have means for BOTH options - plumbing the crankcase breather hose back into the intake OR venting it to atmosphere.

Will be good to catch up Kevin and have another MR-S around!

[MIKEP]

Be interesting to see how Kevin's 2zz goes against Ivor's sneaky turbo.There will be 3 Spyders if I bring mine!!
