Troubleshooting 101: Change one part at a time.

Spares are not used parts. At some point it will all be new, so might as well get this stuff out of the way.

Change one part at a time if you want to take a week. Replace it all with good stuff right off the bat, and hopefully you never touch it again.

If I had a spare motor I would just put it in, God knows what was done to this thing when it had FI. But I don't have a spare, so we will just wait till there is a break in the season for a proper build.

I meant the old parts that you're taking off. Are you planning on pitching them? Surely you'll keep them around as spares... and wouldn't it be nice to know whether or not they are good?

But, sure, if you've got more budget than time... rock on!

Most of the time its more time than budget, but we already missed one race, so we will do everything we have to make the next. I am not a fan of keeping old parts as spares - you took them out for a reason. Once I know what parts a car uses I always try to keep new ones. For the RX-8 it is coils, plugs and a fuel pump. For the Corvette it was a rear hub and a gas pedal. As long as I had the parts on hand I never needed them at a race.

Looks like we are going to try and get some dyno time before the race, that will be our only chance to beat it up and see if the problem returns.

It will also be good to know if this Camcon unit is tuned safe, or if we should just leave it off. A better ECU setup will come later.

Wife pulled off second in breed at Westminster. Good, but not what she wanted.

So, would this mean that you will pitch all the used parts you've pulled? If so, I'm happy to pay shipping to get them from you.

It would not be worth the time it took me to ship them. But thanks for the offer.

More power to you if you have time to do stuff for free. I have no interest in using my limited spare time to box and ship parts for zero return.

I already did it once, but that was a unique situation, I sent the Tein door panels to someone who paid for shipping. But to waste my time and someone else's money to ship used (questionable condition) expendable parts, that is just stupid.

However, if someone local wanted the parts - or to be the "good guy" and pick them up and ship them to another party - maybe we could work something out.
