f**k yeah this car rocks !!!

lol @ smell heres an oddball: - replace spark plugs but it'll cost ya, $20 NGK BCPRE6 .8m copper vgruve - more carby cleaner, just for the smell - hitemp Selleys 401 industrial strength silicone sealant; $15 incl corking gun from bunnings, and swathe a lather of silicone stinkyness ALL over your coilpacks. - use carby cleaner a little more on the AFM just for old times sake - drive for 10mins, check base idle, use base idle screw for slight positive adjustment this ^^ should help, unless you have already done it, or are using Splitfires mine idles at 400 ? nice and low. however, with the headwork it might be different..... waiting, waiting. SO need my stag back !!

a spliff or two? nah, thats about it think youve got it covered. just cash for emergency I suppose so a 260 eh? NICE one !!!! pics / links to 4sale of the car youve bought ? cheers still waiting for mine; since start of dec its been in the shop.

damn dood nasty - BL (badluck) knees sore, grrrr.

this thread delivers. many great points raised...... the basis of a Thesis is right here !

well, the system as it is doesnt work. IF you could garner support from a Member of parliment to attend this meeting, it could possibly be the start to better things for the SA motor enthusiests it only takes the initiation of 1 to move the mountain

thats awesome nene, here's hoping something comes of it. if you need any 'in-person' support let me know; here to help.

h'py bday matey nice & warm eh. query - who can you go to in regards to engineering certification to 'certify' legal modifications on your motor vehicle ? cheers

the green looks a little seedy did you use hi-temp silicon sealant? selleys 401 industrial strength is the stuff to use. however, I found after replacing my "selley'd" coils with splitfires the car idles smoother then ever, feels better to me

agree 100%. complain enough and his chances of promotion / advancement within the force is NIL Rocky & Vu should be making a formal complaint IMHO

looks great bud!

every stock 2yr old Commodore I see sags at the rear from saggy springs, no way you could fit a finger under 50% of those on the road. when this cowboy pulls you over, make him do shit from the book !!! no guesses, demand proper measurments, facts etc. if he guesses make a fricken complaint !! dont accept it, take the matter all the way to a magistrate and have your say; if you feel strongly enough about the matter. its your right. enough complaints about wayward cowboys and rest assured their career advancement in the force wouldbnt be looking very rosy

woot 1st warning lol you landlubbers you, not appreciating my "neil"-love (in a pure manly way of course) muahahahaha ! fk it. karma is a bitch I say. always has been & always will be. we'll see....we'll see.

chuck a pm to dean - mid life crisis, might be able to help? dunno, worth a shot if you're still hunting around

ouch my eyes, a bit big. soz

hey cronic,, yeh mate, plus he cant use that in his morgage!!! thats considered savings, so like weve gone from 65k owing in July08 back to 90k owing atm. craig, yeh will let it go, still got to play around with the carbie for tuning air:fuel with the race type ignition system, and havent ridden it since we last talked! but will let it go of course if anyone is interested it'll be right. spoke to shaun about the cracked head, he's sent a second head back to the machinist to help me get back on the road. boostwerks PLUS 1 billionty. best workshop in southern australia

yep,all my savings are gone. clink wont pay disability support until february (front july 1st o8), and child family tax benefit A and B have beem withheld from us as well for this persiod. so, all savings have gone into morgage - until end next month - holy fk - we filled the pool in and put lawn on and a 3grand spa plus doing this head work. if we didnt do that ^^ we'd still be ok for another 5 months, as was the plan, but we never reckoned on getting no money at all until febrary 09 from july 08. wife gets carpel tunnel surgery in 2 weeks so she hasnt wanted to work until thats over with, although she qualified recently in nursing / aged care. and Im off work 'cause of what the knees have done to me. taking time out so its my fault only and no -one elses, not having a go at clink at all. never taken a handout and when I do get the Disability support pension next month I know we'll be very very gratefull (for the $400 p.f) as we'll be able to eat as for morgage, who knows. got maybe 300k in colateral on the house (owe 90 to bank) so we'd be ok if worst comes to worst. started when I was 17.5 I did, 'cause I foresaw my knees would fk me. when I was 17 they were horrible and only going to get worse. so I quit studies, got a good f/t job and bought a house. 13yrs later and still balancing the fine line between falling over the egde with debts, or tightrope walking ! lol the worlds funneh

. . . . cracked head. . . . 1 around the guide area the metal has deformed. second head has been sent with mine to the machinist (who the tuner backs 100%) to swap it all over and redo again just on of those things apparently. close thread, unless ppl need advice on what not to do. ie dont buy valve guides off the internet, let the shop doing the work supply them. I'll learn from that.

I'll chat to the tuner again (unless you wanna give shaun a call? to offer advice?), but its not in his hands either - outsourced to a machinist. they should be replacing everything around #6 piston area of the head, and the pressure test came up ok anyway. hasnt been xrayed because before it went in for some work it was 100% perfect and 200kw easy, no strain. massive head fK because its out of my hands (here for advice to pass on - ) plus my fund$ are short! im 200% positive the head was fine before it went in for upgrades. wonder what happened at the machinists? dropped the head and cracked it? faulty stem that hasnt been picked up twice now? (3rd time back at machinists, been bolted on twice and blew oil) basically now just want the bloke doing the work (not the tuners, good peeps) to fix the fkup with all-new components / handywork around piston 6 area.

bad luck with the defect / fines. thats crap honeslty hope i continue to have no issues on the road, but havent got the car still. atrggh head has been on and off 2 times, 3rd time back with the machinist. 6th piston leaks oil over the top, want the seats/seals/stems/guides fixed up on no.6, crazy head fk casue it could be a crack in the head. but.,........ the head was fine and 100% perfect at 200kw before it went under the knife. havent got the $$$ to chase this, as Im into my last month of savings on the hosue loan, as of next month could possibly lose the house unless I work out new finance. not getting any income for 8months screws you big time. shouldnt have done the head work in the first place. angry at myself, for thinking we could scrape by.

spotted: burnt out Honda sports bike, YYY 741, Piggots range rd Onkaparinga Hills, probably CBR600RR notified the police so hopefully the owner gets his insurance (unless an insurance jobby then I hope ya get a big fine!! could have resulted in a bushfire, stupid stupid
