    Yeah im eventually going to put all new temp gauges in to match my current Speco ones.

    And yeah my corolla had crap under cap for first 2 weeks of driving it after a freshen up. went away and hasnt been back. i know its worse during winter here in tassy, condesation in engine.

    ill give it a couple of weeks, but water in bottle was clean, no bubbles or gunk,

    And good to know about the pressure, im just paranoid haha, everytime it made a noise today i was like "****, what was that?",

    Switch pumped from electric to Mechanical, that fixed like 4 problems but found like 3 more haha.

    so went to set float level, one of the floats had broken off. so i Soldered it back on and set level.

    set mixture
    and this is the end product (you can hear a slight whine, think the bearing in the tensioner has got noisey

    So

    have racked up 70kays on the Golfy since new engine in.

    Its quick, would be quicker if i could open up second side of weber without it hesistating.

    Also im a bit sick of the Cam in it. it doesnt like me to cruise, and actually uses a fair bit of fuel when "off cam". on cam its nuts, will rev clean off the tacho and will easy pull over 95kays in 2nd.

    Going to pull cam out and put the other one back in, hoping i dont loose much power, and hope i get alot more go in lower revs and not have to rev the snot out of it .
