Hey guys,

I entered this $2 charity raffle, and the prize is $80k in 1 or 2 cars (it said caravans and boats too, but screw them). The 80k has to be inclusive of on roads and stamp duty.

What would you guys get?

If I kept the cars, I'd probably think of getting:

* 350Z track

* WRX STi (but insurance would prob be too insane)

* Lexus IS200 maybe

* still thinking.

or.. plan b

* buy any car which holds value really well and sell it the next day and take the cash (maybe 70-75k)

I have 1/600,000 chance of winning - wish me luck!

.. what cars would you guys get?

Lol, I enter this all the time! havent won yet, but Ill keep trying!

whatever you dont take as car you get in gold, so you can melt it down and turn it into a big turbo and manifold to fit it :)

Those "raffles" are so dodgy...

The prize is what 80k.. but if you check how many tickets they sell, they probably nett $500,000, give $250,000 away to charity, $80,000 to you and keep the remaining $170,000 in "administration fees"...

Just like in that 60 minutes thing about the Red Cross Bali thing with the RC keeping 1+million for "administration fees".

Buy a Merc, sell it the next day. If you're going to keep the car, don't worry about the 350Z or WRX (i personally don't think they're worth the hype). An E36 M3 is beaut, or a second hand 911 Porsche, or a second hand RS4 Audi wagon (can burn most Jap imports), or 1/500 of a new Enzo, or a field of 120Y Datsuns. :(

      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
