Doesn't buying fake TE37's defeat the purpose of buying Te37's all together. Correct me if im wrong but isnt the value in the lightweight / strength / quality your getting? Without this all your left with is the image, in which case everyone will be commenting

Them nice Volk's

You: oh thanks but actually they're fake

Them: eh?

You: Yeh they're VoRRRk's not Volks

Them: LOL

I guess it's also possible to take the sticker off and put a real Volk sticker in its place depending on how desperate someone is to convince onlookers your Vorks are fake with genuine Volk stickers, which then begs the question if all that matters is the image, then just buy some chromies.

lol its one of those things though isn't it - some people have the $ to go all out, some dont and want to get a similar look/performance increase for cheap, and others are happy with plain jane stock wheels!

I have te37's but even if I didnt, I think id prefer stockers to rip offs, its like buying a fake handbag for your signifigant other and trying to pass it off as the real thing imo

Trying to pass off VORKS as VOLKS is a bit like a transvestite trying to pass off as a female, every now and then some poor bloke finds out the hard way. Moral of the story is no matter how good it looks at the time, at the end of the day you never end up with the real thing.

      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
