Not a bad effort at all.

cant tell it had a fenda benda there

Rough As Guts Engineering customs there

Yer it is a bit rough when you see it up close but I don't want to spend money on new panels as I will probably end up giving him the car now.Cost me $120 to fix.Heard from the insurance co. of the lady he hit.Looking at 4K damage to her brand new XR4? Suzuki.

EL broken headlight and small fender dent.

Suzuki 4k of damage.

Sounds like the zook got owned

4k damage to a suzuki?
what are they doing? writing it off and buying 2 of them for her?

Hahaha yeah, I reckon about the price of the damage to the zook. But eh, I guess they're designed to crumple after all.

Didn't come out half bad at all Don, actually looks bloody good mate .

My son said there was only a few scratches on the Zooks rear wheel arch but the insurancs co. says he took out the rear door and rear quarter.Bye bye Fireblade.

I cant beleive the bad luck I'm having with my car.Thought I'd have it going today.Put the repaired master cylinder in and got under the car to bleed the brakes.Noticed oil leaking from the drivers side drum brake.Pulled the drum off and discovered the oil is coming from the axle tube.Went to pull the axle out but the car is parked about 1" too close to the wall to get the axle out.Put it back together and will move the car tomorrow and pull the axle out.The bearing looked OK so I'm guessing it's the seal in the tube.The oil has flushed a lot of the grease out of the bearing so that will have to be re-packed too.

wow u r unlucky! if it were me i woulda just cut a hole in the shed! hahahaha

Picked up a new seal today.Just need to move the car over so I can get the old one out.

Well I stuffed the first seal and had to wait for another one to be ordered in.Got it today and installed it with the help of a custom wooden drift I made.Bled the brakes and fired it up.
It runs OK but the idle is very inconsistant.I run a Demon carby with 4 corner idle and I cant seem to get it spot on.I also suspect a slight vacuum leak may be compounding the problem.Don't have time to get it tuned for the new pump before Monday so will just run it as is and get it looked at in the new year.

G'day Foz,

Don't know if it will help at all, but I have encountered the same problem with my 750 Mighty Demon.

First thing is to check for a genuine vacum leak, this is done easilly by spraying carby cleaner over all gaskets, hoses and seals on the carby and manifold while the engine is running. If the revs pick up while you are spraying, you have found your leak. Also check that your new master cylinder is not the source of the leak.

The biggest thing that effects the idle quality of the demon carb (assuming that your jetting and air bleeds are correct), is the position of the primary and secondary butterflys in relation to each other. If they are not set exactly the same you will get a rough idle and the car will stall easilly. Also if they are not set correctly, you can get a whistling noise that does sound like a vacum leak. So.... back the idle screws off on each of pair primary and secondary butterflys and re-adjust them so that each set of butterflys are open the same ammount at idle...... If this doesn't work, the best place to sort a carby out is on the dyno.........I can strongly reccomend barries dyno in Cannington.

Good luck on Monday

Cheers mate.I have it running close now but it is a bit high.If I back it off enough to idle properly it will eventually drop off and stall.I'm a bit hesitant to start playing with the corner idle screws in case I stuff it up completely.I really want to run on Monday so maybe I'll have a play after that.
Seriously considering an EFI set up as that will let the computer keep it running properly.

Back in one peice and ready to go!!

Hey Don, I think your cars' leaking mate . Ah excellent news mate, so we'll be seeing you down the drags tonight yeah? I may or may not be going down now, I'll have to see if work will let me off the leash...

On a side note, do you like have little lines where you park the XW up, and have little footprints painted on your driveway so you know where to stand everytime you take a picture? I swear, it seems like you've posted that picture up about 8 times now .
