congrats on the sale of the car flick, does that mean you guys will be repping shepparton in the falcoooon?

on another note ive got a business id like to plug for their awesome service. took my radiator to get pressure tested and flushed today, went to Parkside Radiators (also trade as Edwardstown Radiators) at Melrose Park. The guy tested it then and there, showed me where the 2 leaks were, explained what he would need to do to fix, told me not to be too fussed about a couple of bent fins (from fan contact at some point) as it hasnt damaged it. I told him it wasnt a rush to fix it, and that id pick it up same time next week, but he still offered to fix it tonight and have it ready for pickup tomorrow. The clincher: For the pressure test, re-soldering around the top tank outlet, fixing the leak in one of the tubes, replacing the "tap" (which id broken off ages ago and let it weep a lil bit), and giving it a reverse flush, its costing me a grand total of $70

+1 to them

lol ryan

nah, need a proper cat

617 is far better than the current 200cfm item :D

definately know, by changing this, easy 200kw tune

last night had the attessa system working , lol

boosts well, bit soft in first, but second and third pull hard

IMO around 200ish atw is enough for the street, always been my goal.

sleeper wagon, nothing outstanding to look at (bar being a Stagea !), but streeter-eater deap down

:banana:

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
