lol i brought this 1985 Ford Telstar in Jan 2005 for a run about to get to and from work.

I found some nice mags and put them on it alanjones raceing mags.

I went mad and put a standard R32 front bar on it. panted the interior (red/black)

Then i went all out and made some custom side skirts for it. we painted the hood black to give it the tuff look lol.

The car eventually got the name (TUFF TELSTAR) becouse of its meen home job looks.

Any way I will get to the point last weekend in bundy we had the autobarn sound off. I got a txt from my mate saying that the tuff telstar was at the sound off. (why we did not no) Just be for lunch the Queensland Fire and Rescue turned up it did not look good for the tuff telstar.

Any way the the Fire and Rescue boys smashed the $h!t out of it lol.

We had meny fun times in the 2L carby.

(R.I.P MY TUFF TELSTAR)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
