B-Man

Thanks Tony, Your 100% right - I was devesated when the engine went - esp after spending a lot of time & $$ on it and not actually getting to enjoy it at the track - Plus, so soon after the mods - (I even tried to sell it as is, I was sooo pissed off) But I'm over it now, and am looking on the positive side. 1) Will have more reliable power after the next stage 2) Have plenty of time to research all the right moves Thanks to everyone for the help so far - there is more to come ...... I even changed my avatar to refelct my new found enthusiasm.... he he

240 rwkw - Yes 450hp was optimistic now that I know a bit more.

Clutch is good - quite happy with it - shudders a bit when you take off up a hill, but I understand this is normal because of the grip of the pucks & kevlar. Re Mods: I didn't get to try them out to full potential before the motor lost compression in two cylinders. (Don't know why yet cause the head hasn't come off yet) Suffice to say that the compression is so bad (60) that we all know what is the problem -What caused this could be a number of things, as we all know. Right now the car is in my Garage, waiting for me to save up for a full re-build with forgies, strengthend rods/bolts, o'ringed/dipped block, the best bearings I can get, maybe some head work, maybe a metal (or composite) head gasket and definitely cams - AIM = 300rwkw (reliable, safe, strong, bulletproof kilowatts) When the engine is out, I'll be getting the injectors tested/flowed cause what happened, shouldn't have (in my opinion) - I was only running 14PSI at time failure. So ATM I am reading lots and lots about what others have done and are doing in terms of engine rebuilds - Also happy to take suggestions/recomendations from the forum on what I should/shouldn't do to attain my bulletproof 300rwkw. The only other mods I had done since this thread is a 1:1.5 adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Cheers,

Allegedly - This was a brand new unregistered Monaro stolen by a 16 year old kid. He failed to pay for petrol - then pursued by Police he hit a big tree in Appin Road, Campbelltown - works every time... he won't steal any more cars. Supposed to have been doing about 200 km/h when he lost it.

Ya, shoulda done what I did and change yr SAU nic, before I asked the question ...... oh damn, Shell posted my old SAU nic......... he he Oh Well looks like my cover is blown too ! Ya know the Soarer Club mandates real names or they won't talk to ya on their forums.... PS Thanks heaps for the post Shell, it's good to know who the other members are !

Ben, I reckon you should take your car around the creek - would be great fun for ya ! I'm sure Duncan, Fatz, and Dan etc would help out of you needed any ! Do it man ! Brendan

Ha Ha ! Soz guys, just one more thing : ndr, my friend, I tip my hat to you for acknowledging Terri Nunn and Berlin as one of the greatest groups of all time !! - And Terri is a hunny too !

Posted for Cam - (yeah Cam, I left, un-employed now ..... anyone wanna give an IT troublemaker a job ??) Everyone who wants one - post here . SAU NSW, how about it ? People are keen. What about this logo , I think it is great ...

I'm there : How 'bout: Devo Nu Shoes Berlin Dynamic Hypnotics Aussie Crawl Oils Ric Springfield Toto Dexy's Midnight Runners Soft Cell Bucks Fizz Tight Fit Spandau Ballet Phil Collins Frankie Goes To Hollywood A-Ha (Boosted Zed may not know these ones, he's a lot older then me......) :shake: Anyway, Back on topic - sheeez, ya really gotta get some better moderators for the NSW section ! he he he

Oh shit - did I mention something about phone calls and holes in the same post ??? Oh Shit, that is not Quality !

Neil, you are tempting me to bring out the : Billy Joel Captain & Tanelle Dr Hook Tom Jones Sharon O'Neil Sherbet Bay City Rollers :D

/me back in my hole Hey Dan, I got two messages from you yesterday - did I talk to you after them or do I still owe you a call ???

Yes, I can understand Oli getting put off - I hope you understand the whole circumstances surrounding my decision to go elsewhere, I suspect not - maybe this is something we can talk about next time we meet ? I'm always very happy to provide feedback, in the right forum and in the appropriate manner, as long as it is received as positive. My last year + a bit being heavily involved with Hi Po Imports has taught me many a wise and valuable lesson you might like to hear about , from a customers perspective ? Or maybe over a beer, while these young whipper snappers drink their V and talk about their weekend conquests (Chicks & Cars). Cheers,

I don't know how other members feel about this, but I only know a handful of the members - or I only know 'of' a handfull of members. How would you feel about posting a members list and adding to it each time we get a new member ? Doesn't have to contain surnames or full names / e-mail addresses (but I reckon it would be better if it did). Or if a post is too public, what about an e-mail ? Or in the newsletter - (Maybe this has already been thought of - if so, just tell me to go back into my hole) Would enable club members to interact with one another more easily, etc. Cheers,
