Went to finally see my car with paint(again). Nice feeling.

Today I dusted off my throttle plate/progression hole display to help sort out the last remains of stumble between progression fuelling and main jet fueling.
I can't make a video while I'm driving so I hope this one idling is clear. The vertical bars represent the ranges of the 3 progression holes and the horizontal bar shows how open the throttle plate is and in particular where it is against the progression holes.
As expected, the lean stumble is immediately after the 3rd progression hole, so I've added a 4th hole immediately after the 3rd which seems to have sorted it nearly completely. There's just a hint of leanness up hill on the motorway, so maybe a slightly bigger idle jet or a slightly bigger 4th hole will sort that.

Cleaned a couple of the new batch.
Red 280z looks complete and has a really nice body. Is does have some rust but it is isolated. Big hole where the battery tray was and another hole at the bottom of the passenger door shut. Other than that it looks solid.
The series 1 240z looks very solid. Could only find 1 hole which is below the dogleg. No sign of repairs.
Both cars for sale and I’ll sort out an add in the for sale section.

Opened the bonnet, had a look round, closed the bonnet. Enjoyed everyone else's stories.

Does look solid. Are you officially trading now then?

Just trying to fund my other cars Jason. My wife often comments on when am I actually going to sell a car and I keep replying that I don't have any for sale. I become very attached to all of them once I've started so it's probably best I don't start these 2. If no one shows an interest then I will rebuild and keep them for myself.
Hardly a good business plan and certainly not a good description of a trader.

I think thats fast isn't it Jon? A standard supra is about 13 seconds isn't it?

Maybe not the best but importing to sell on does fit the bill. I thought it'd make sense seeing how many you bring across etc.
Quite quick I think. There's a zclub hall of fame somewhere.
This would be 2nd quickest NA L-gata, after Steve Kiddell's 12.4.

Which Supra? I'd hope I'm faster than those old ones.
