DESTRO I know its fun to go fast but seeing as you don't know much about cars, I would really focus on the styling make it look nice, the thing about wanting "the complete package" performance and looks is that they tend to clash. E.g. coil overs and body kit, great handling but kit tends to get bashed and battered. since this is going to be your first car and most likely going to be hassled by cops, go for the looks, lower with just springs (trying to keep the ride as smooth as possible) don’t go crazy with the mags, invest in a VERY good car alarm, and get some serious ice. Do most of it your self with help from forums like this one, and you will have fun driving and learning about your first car. And if you get a body kit learn to repair fibreglass and paint cos your first car will take a bit of punishment.

yeh i understand. i dont really want to change the engine at all im happy the way it is but yeh i just wanted to make it look nice, i just had a 18 year old mate of mine die at st lucia 2 weeks ago raceing cause his car was way 2 powerfull for him. i dont exactly want to cark it myself :/

I just find it interesting on how the mechanics and mods work on engines ect, all my uncles and friends went into the mechanics field for work where i went into the fitness so im kind lost when they all talk this type of stuff... so if u can help me with my car ill help u with ur gym work out :O

so atlest on a forum you can read it in ur own time and explain it when ever you like and i can read the definitions or the name and look up what they do so when they talk about this stuff and when you guys talk about it i dont sit in the corner with a blank face and go ahh yeh righty o

hope that all makes sense

Cool, that’s great; you should come to the dinners and meet more people. you know there are dedicated sites for car audio and other things but one of the best sites i found for help and great write ups is www.redlineau.com read the older post in the forum cos the newer ones are just about them flamin each other :/

You can ask them for help and they will help you out in very easy to understand terms. he he he

    • 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 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
