Ah ok, because it was tilted back it looked a bit funny. Must look pretty cool with the bonnet down. Nice fit
-
looks nice and clean. That intercooler looks like its not finished, or something doesnt quite look right about it, but it looks good custom fit in there
-
This might work if the nut is loose, something like loctite super glue works alright doing things like this.
-
Yeah im looking forward to Watch Dogs too. The gameplay footage looks great
-
Hamilton looks a bit cheated in the top 3 photo. Bad luck, thats racing. Maybe its the douchbag haircut making him act like a dick again Dan at it again. He does look really confident in that car
-
I dare say a tyre shop might be able to help you out with it, unless its a locknut that needs a special tool. Then maybe it might not be so easy
-
Undo it how you got it on there? I'm not sure which nut is the problem, the top one? Your going to have to give some more information

Bit of a thread bump for anyone with the same issue as me (can't see geabox illustrations) It looks like you can either get an R33 S2 Vin and use that, or click the disc icon on the top toolbar which lets you select what model you want to look at. When you go to R33 and go to the gearbox illustrations then you will see a menu asking you to choose what model you want to look at. Just go to RB25DET.MT.F5 that is 9501 model onwards. You will get the illustrations this way I installed Fast on my new computer last night and while having a play I worked this out I'm not sure if the original issue I was having was to do with having a Series 1 or what, but I'm 99% sure there is no difference in the S2 box so shouldn't have a problem Hope this helps anyone having issues

Yeah, Ive been thinking about spraying the coolant bottle black and just leaving a strip so you can see the level, but havent been bothered yet. Because It's a daily its not easy to justify taking it off the road for little things like that. Think I do have another power steering Reserviour that I might be able to do something with. Ideally I'd like an aftermarket one if I could find one

Can't wait till he is gone. Hopefully give Lotus a financial kick start then get booted out

Any Advantage To Runflat Tyres?
89CAL replied to Torques's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
They are louder and I think handle worse but can obviously run with them flat. My cousin has them on his BMW and he cant wait to change them -
I think so but might be his best chance so far
-
Dan is smart enough to know Seb hasnt won 4 drivers championships on pure luck. He knows Seb will come back at him, and he is being quite humble about his performance so far which shows his class. Dan has impressed me on and off the track so much this year. Would be great to see him win a race before the years out, and hopefully he will be Australias next world champion
-
Would have been cool, but too much black I think. Maybe the cam covers would have looked good carbon dipped. I originally wanted to do them in some sort of carbon firbre, but kinda glad I didnt now. The EGO Grey metallic looks really good when the sun hits it

One of these babies: Edit-3164 by 89CAL, on Flickr The washer bottle wont really fit in front of the fuse box, the 3" cooler pipe is decieving in that photo lol, the washer bottle used to be zip tied there and I couldnt really mount it there properly. I was going to mount it under the front and have the washer cap sitting at one of the cooler pipe holes, but it was a bit to hard to do. Does the job where it is, until it melts through from all that heat lol
-
Photo spam again. Because of shiny new engine bay bolts/To keep thread slightly alive Edit-3161 by 89CAL, on Flickr
-
Nearly finished changing all the bolts etc in the engine bay for pretty ones now, changed alot of blue ones to silver today so took a photo to celebrate Edit-3161 by 89CAL, on Flickr Can't compete with some of the sexy 26's posted recently, but its alright for a home built 25
-
Took some engine bay pics today Edit-3164 by 89CAL, on Flickr Just ignored the ruined rubber washer at the top though..... lol
-
So jealous, love these things I'd love an RS4 if I had the money lol. But dont think that will ever happen
-
Wasn't Homo picked up by McLaren when he was 10 or so? He can hardly say he had to struggle to get where he was. Fair enough he must have shown talent to get there but still, plenty of other drivers had to work alot harder to get there. Seems like whenever he is winning races he is a dickhead, then when he is losing he goes all depressed and gets a bit more humble about life.
-
Yeah pretty much haha. Stuff like this would work just fine if it came in the right size The way we have done the bleeder plug at the back was purely because the engine was out and we had to do something to run the turbo water line around the head drain, which meant we were putting a solid pipe in there. To be perfectly honest, when you get rid of the standard manifold and change it over, the radiator cap is the highest part of the system and I still managed to bleed it without a bleeder screw. But I do agree it is better to have one
-
We moved the bleeder elsewhere, does the job, but not something I would suggest trying to copy with the engine in the car lol You can get BSP bolts in a way, if you count banjo bolts. But other then that they are not really something you can just go and buy. I thought when I was talking to a guy I worked with the other day, that he got a BSP left handed tap for a project involving moveable clamps along a bar, but I may have misheard. This was over halfway through shift at about 3am. I'm not usually the most attentive then lol
-
Sounds about right, this is worth a read
-
That doesnt look like a greddy rip off....... not really anyway The answer to your question is simple. Which ones do you block off? The ones that you arent using anymore. Which for you will be the 2 for the bleed screw and the 1 that goes to the back/behind the block for the turbo water feed if you arent using a water cooled turbo. You can loop the bleed screw ones if you really want but it wont really make a difference Theres the cheap way to do it, or the neater way to do it. Both work fine, and you don't really see any of this stuff so probably doesnt really matter if you do it the cheap way. This way is to just get the right size hose (you should have plenty if getting rid of the couple of things you will be, or you can match it and buy new stuff) then cut it so you have just enough length to clamp it onto the pipe it comes off then put a bolt or similar in the other end and clamp it tight. Using a bit of loctite 515 or thread sealer helps a bit. Shouldnt matter what kind of bolt you use, and I dont know why someone suggested a bsp bolt, unless they were talking about a BSP plug for the coolant return for the turbo on the other side. I have a Greddy copy manifold and I have blocked everything I needed to get rid of by brazing bolts etc into the small pipes as necessary. Like I said, both ways work fine, but obviously one looks better, not that you will really be looking there

Bitches! I think they are pretty close, I think I did check when I first fired it up and it was about where it should be, but like I said I dont pay much attention to what the pressure actually is on the stock gauge, its just there to make sure theres some pressure there while I'm driving along lol
