Well....

After 4 months of my car being off the rd (i posted on here a while ago).... i found out i had a blown cheap t70. so took the car off the rd bought some new goodies for it new turbo, inj etc etc (my sig lol). it was spose to be getting tuned by shaun at boostworx on sat, so i pulled the plugs out last night to check the gaps and no.6 was covered in oil.....so i got my mate to bring round my new cooler pipes we made and fired it up for the first time. run on 5 cyls and there was smoke pouring outta the catch can breather. so unforunatley (or it maybe good), its being rebuilt now putting forged pistons in it. dissapointing after not having drove my car for so long to find out it needs a rebuild 2 days before it was getting tuned and i was finally gonna be able to come out meet up and cruise withyou guys DOH.

^^ Yup exactly how I had my bike engine rebuilt, on the side, parts at cost, labour $25ph - a labour of love. Them's are the best rebuilds :P

edit: fyi rebuilt by an ex 1970's-80's world 500gp privateer racer, who ever picks up this beast from Southern Yamaha wont be disappointed (free shamless plug, on consignment)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
