Started in 1st gear then tried to shift into 2nd. Sometimes it worked other times the car died (i was too slow) :).

Pete made a valid point (after i completed my final run :P ); that i should start my burnout in 2nd, as the wheels stop spinning btw shifts. Not to mention the tyre would be wet and colder at the start of the burnout. Will try it at Calder :O

hmm, why is it so difficult to do burnouts exactly? After watching those vidoes people really struggling, is it something to do with 1st revving out to quick because of the oil, and having to take it easy or wa?

slicks

You obviously have never been to the drags :O

Unlike the local hooning activities, there is NO oil on the ground. Also the track is prep'ed for traction, then add a pair of slicks and the task becomes harder. Also factory in the fact that i never before done such burnouts, while lightly applying the brakes.

      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
