Yes, I’m an inveterate tinkerer, always think it could be better...

Aquasurf,
That's good, but rather generic and beyond the scope of most (certainly myself...).
If I had a rev hanging Euro, what could be done tomorrow to address it...?
What hardware would be...

Aquasurf,
Thanks for the kind offer. I’d take you up on it but it’s a long way to come from the Mid North Coast, and at the moment I have no other excuse to visit the Sydney rat race...

I’m...

I’ve been contemplating replacing the ancient CB7 (24 years and 380,000km) with a somewhat newer Euro. I haven’t yet driven one, but am disheartened to discover that they seem to suffer the dreaded...

"Heat treated"?

I just asked the question because the post read like an advertisement. Sorry if my understanding of the forum rules is not completely up to speed...

Yes. If you're having to push the pedal hard to reach the max output voltage then I suspect the pedal might be hitting the carpet before the throttle wheel hits the TS on the TB?

If the TB TS is...

Isn't there a site rule relating to commercial posts?

Thicker oil won't hurt the gears just because it's thicker, but any viscosity can damage the gear box if it's not appropriately formulated for the specific application.

IMO with most carbs any airflow gain will be minimal at best, and most probably undetectable.

BTW, it's not a "choke throttle", it's a choke plate. 'Throttle' is a term that relates purely to the...

Yes it is, just more slowly without the water pump operating. Even with the WP not operating, the 'thermo-siphon' effect creates significant coolant circulation through the cooling system.

As the...

Let it burn off naturally, then remove the tips and buff them up with a polishing wheel fitted to to a bench grinder, or, if you're not fortunate to have such a thing, try some chrome polish.

If...

I've heard people say things like "so JDM", when they don't actually mean 'Japanese Domestic Market', just that something is in some way impressive. I suspect some people who use it don't know it's...

I think we've covered it all now....

I suspect you may be trying to make the shift too quickly and as a result when you try to engage 2nd the engine rpm is still too high, i.e. when the 'dog teeth' try to engage with each other there is...

Then what I said in my post #46 is relevent to your TPS and TB. Ignore my post #56.

beeza,
The CT TS pictured in your post #53 is the same as my Accord, so your TB does have an adjustable CT TS. The TS pictured in your post #51 is for WOT, and is NOT adjustable?

If your WOT TS...

Exactly. Even racing cars don't have stickers on them just for the sake of it. Stickers with any sort of brand name or corporate logo etc are for advertising and having them on your car is for...

The hottest parts will be the exhaust valve, the pistons and the rings.

The exhaust valve won't be damaged by burnt oil unless quite a lot of oil is being deposited on the valve (suggesting a...

Now, I just don't believe that...



Why is it that "in Japan" or 'JDM' are so often used like mantras to imply that something must be unarguably the best way to do something or the best product?...

That will be that more esoteric definition of 'can', i.e. 'can' as in 'doesn't'...

I'll bet these turbos are water cooled...

You always get mixed and often opposite opinions about any tyre. There are probably a number of reasons why, e.g. the way each person fits / uses a tyre (i.e. what psi they use, what width rim they...
