lol@thread "look how far back MY speedo was wound" :(

I don't usually pay much attention to the km's on used imports, only the condition so if it is wound back.....meh !

To be completely honest though, this 34 is in such awesome condition I think the km's could be accurate :P

I remember seeing in a Jap Mag in Osaka an odo pic that was 123,456.7km which I thought was a damn fine effort :)

One of my friends EL Falcon which was once upon a time a taxi is about to click over to 1 million KM's. If I am not wrong that should go back to 0000000 or something similar lol

Will get a picture of it once it does.

Still on factory motor too lol

a mates ute has gone over 1 million k's, think its already up to 400,000 or something like that, was his dads old work ute that he had been travelling to and from sydney every day since 1985 when he bought it new till a couple of years ago, runs on gas, has had 2 engine rebuilds, gearbox rebuild, and had the oil, filter and plugs changed every 10,000 religiously, still going like it came out of the factory.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.

      Anybody affected by the M1 minefield this morning?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...

      Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.

      Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
