Thanks for all the kind comments people, I really appreciate it. It couldn't have been done without all the people mentioned in the inital post. It does take a whole team to get a car to this point. It's almost impossible to do all of it yourself and I'm very proud be surrounded with so many people with the same passions as I do.

4x4 power slide, id hate to try and control that for the first time if u didnt know what you were doing

Did u end up finding out who put the silicon on the tread?  

Hehe. 4x4 slides are cool. Believe it or not, what you saw in the carpark was my 2nd time I did it....The first was when I was taking the car to Ice after tuning on Friday :( Let me tell you that it is a weird feeling when all 4 wheels break traction :)

No, I never found out who siliconed the tread but we got there anyways despite the setbacks. I'm happy with that.

what quarter mile time would you get running? how about 0-100?

Not sure what my times will be. Last I ran on the strip, it did a 11.5@124 Mph on Falcan Azinis and a slipping clutch. It also only had 370 Rwkw.

Now that I have Nittos, a triple plate clutch and a tough g/box, I too am interested in the times this car will make.

0-100 was measured at 3.4 secs with a stopwatch in the car. That was with 365 Rwkw.

is this Dave that usually hang around Benny's house before BMT moved to the other side?

Negative on that one. The first time I met Benny was at MAS. He is one of the most genuine guys I have ever met and once again I must thank him and the BMT crew for their help during the show. I can do a BBQ though :D

      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
