hehee... shure hope so....... um the reason for the upgrade was this one was goin quite cheap, hope for not the wrong reasons and she seems to have most of my options but in an s2 so triptronic and all the other bits. it sad but good there gettin cheaper. sucks cos i wont be gettin f all for my s1 but good cos the new one is only gona cost a bit more than my s 1 did 1.5 years ago. wat do you reckon a s1 in good condition is worth fully optioned with minor mod. might have to sell it back to the yard from whence she came but i got 6 weeks to try and sell her as my newbie is still in japan

neo and triptronic was the main reason. was just about to pour a few more grand into my s1 and one of them was to lower her and the s2 looks way low, the other was to get my nismo kit fitted and painted so i figgure the money i save can justify the upgrade..... my gf aint to happy though but she seems to nice to say no

you've done well - it looks damn nice!! :laugh:

good luck with the sale, and with the new car :)

Does it feel any different to drive? It looks like it has modified (lowered) suspension so I guess you cant really do a fair s1 to s2 comparison. :)

      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
