haha...shit sorry mate...i think the sentence in which you said it doesnt happen...some words were jumbled up and i took it as it did happen. Either that or im on drugs. My apologies for the lies.

sorry brakes/ps not really the same thing lol.

hrd-h30 I've got a couple of bottle of the penrite stuff i was going to try, good to hear it works OK. Normally use the motul rbf600 which is great - just looking for something cheaper that works as well

Sorry to open up an oldish thread but a few people said to bring 2 or 3 bottles of brake fluid to the track. Does that mean that most people bleed their systems and put in new fluid on the day or is it just for top ups? Surely it would be a pain to rock up and start bleeding your whole brake system?

Bleed your brakes before you go, the fluid is mainly for top ups / emergencies (ie you've boiled the fluid so bad you aren't going to be able to drive it home again safely). Bleeding brakes is a downright pain in the arse, and your not going to be wanting to do it on the day!

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
