Hi folks,

Long time no hear - right ??

What's been happening ?? Buster, have you cracked an 8 yet mate ?

Duncan, hows the Yellow dildo going ?

Maj - is your car still in one piece ?

I've been missing you all !

Well, about me -

I quit my job at Telstra and now (believe it or not) I am a Personal Trainer. I can hear you all laughing now - How did that fat bastard become a Personal Trainer ? Well, lose 15kgs for starters - Study hard, get qualified and buy a PT Franchise ! that's what I did !

And I am loving it - although the pay is about 4 times not as good as IT, the stress is less ! (Getting up at 4:00am in the morning is not that crash hot)

What else, Oh yeah - the girly has moved in - BOY what an eye opener that is. Shit man, I can't do a thing right, my whole place has been redecorated, the dog nearly got kicked out - Sheeeze - the the things you do !

Moving on to my car - Well, still have the Paj - it's a warrior ! haha BUT . I need something zippy. Thought about putting a V8 in the Paj, but it just wouldn't do !

So - since my budget is small - VERY VERY small - What do you reckon ?

I saw a Peugot 205GTI for $1900 the other day - looked OK - Then I got to thinking about options:

Corida

Starion

Mini

Dato 1600

Swift GTI

What do ya think ?? I want something zippy for streets.

This is how bad it is ...... I hired a Triton Ute the other day - and I though it as a rocket ship. I drove my sisters auto Mirage - and I though it was a go cart !

I NEED A FASTER CAR !!

Help me - I am going insane ! !!

Cheers

wow, talk about a new path... thats friggin awesome, you saw the opportunity for a change and it sounds like it was the best thing for you. i'm impressed and envious of your courage :)

hehe chicks, know what your saying ;)

couldnt be happier for ya man

:D <--- icon probably wont work but you get the idea

*EDIT* hah it worked ^^

Jimbo

go the Dato I say! :D

seriously though, easy to work on cheap insurance and proven easy upgades, cant go wrong... i want one!

and with the rest, life is full of sacrifices, but you should only make them if you really want what your after (the girl). So I say as long as your happy, then the redecorations and shit are nothing in comparison to happiness. And congrats on the cool life change.

meh....kaboom its now called d-manning.

Thank god you lost the girl not the dog :D And ti goes to show theres nothing like changing what you are doing for a breath of fresh air.

Anyway. Buy a 4 door gts4 i reckon

Good to see you're still alive - heaps of the original SDU/SAU crew are either missing or just don't post anywhere near as much as they used to...

Anyway, onto the car: WTF is a Corida? Is it as small as a Corolla but with the luxury (and RWD) of a Cressida? If it is, I say go for that and drop a 1JZ-GTE or 1UZ-FE into it for giggles...

Cheers,

Nick T.

What happened to B-Man....well....

First he tried to save Tibet and failed...

Then he tried to save Van Ngyuen and failed...

Then he thought...If i can't save the world...I may as well save myself.

And...so far...he's succeeded!!

Well done with your new career Brendan...Keep it up and best of luck!

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
