The only thing is I would like one with gears - just for the nostalgia value :D

i wouldn't buy 1 untill they have a longer battery life. 400kms isn't that good. for me that wouldn't get me to brisbane and back. so if i had to go to a meeting in brissy for work, i would have to park it at a friends place to charge it while i went to the meeting so it had enough charge to get me home. petrol will always win in that sense since it takes a few mins to get another 500-800kms out of the car.

second rate.

last month an electric car was slashdotted that had real potential.

its premise - leverage laptop batteries for "free" R&D. was pretty good.

except for the fact that it seems not a month goes by and there is another battery recall...

I saw a car like this being tested on fifth gear. Acceleration looked impressive, as it should seeing as it's peak torque is at 0rpm!

Crazy stuff.

yeah i remember that too, Tiff test drove it in europe somewhere i think... he also said it was around $300,000, dunno what curencie that was ethier. it does look very nice and i would be very interested in one if i could afford one... or fit in one (only assuming i cant at this point)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.

      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
