Scandy Needs A Hand

[scandyflick]

ok guys, i need a hand with this.

as some of you know, ive got a coolant leak for somewhere around my turbo, which i noticed while backing out of my driveway about half an hour ago, is getting worse.

so im pulling apart that side of my engine, but i still think im gonna need a hand with a few things, so anyone out north with some level of mechanical knowledge (*looks at dale*), if you reckon you could help me out, that would be beyond awesome.

i wanna get this fixed before saturday or else ill have to sell my dyno spot, miss out on an awesome day out, and not go to the drifts, fail.

so yeah, would be hugely appreciated, will pay with reach arounds or whatever tickles your fancy if you wish.

you can find me on 0408961657

cheers.

Where exactly are ya Dave and what do you need a hand with?

[scandyflick]

out in craigmore mate. im sorta poking around blind in the engine bay, cant really say i know what im doing, so having some who knows whats what lending a hand would make it infinitely easier.

[heslo]

Can't get down there now, maybe tomorrow if you still need me? Can do brakes then too?

[scandyflick]

cant tomorrow. leave for work at 11am. not back til after 9.

Title should be "Scandy needs a Handy "

haha jk

Good luck fixing it, few places still open on saturday morning if you need work done mechanically

ROR i was thinking the same thing.

i live just off womma road mate so i aint far at all but dont really know much about 200's

[scandyflick]

think ive found the culprit. couldnt see shit from up top, so i used my uber dodgy jack and had a look underneath, found this f**ker;

gonna pull it off and see whats what... bit late though, everywhere that sells rubber lines like that are closed...

a hoise at my disposal would be freaking sweet right about now.

fark man, i wouldnt say no to one of those eiter.

[scandyflick]

double hit. banjo just above from there is leaking too. not liking my chances of fixing it.

my spot at the dyno day is up for sale pending further notice.

[scandyflick]

welp, wrong again.

put everything back together, started her up, and had a look where i thought it was leaking. the line itself has a hole in it. 200's out of action til i can get that swapped.

[bezender]

stoked u know exactly what the prob is tho...

and u'll get the extra satisfaction of sorting it urself

[scandyflick]

yeah, im still pretty pissed off though. really want to get down to the dyno day. meh. spose ill just take to morpowa whens its all fixed. it couldnt just be a simple f**king fix though. gah.

SHE LIVES!!!

got home about an hour ago, to find that my dad had infact swapped the coolant feed line, topped up the cooling system, and refitted all the heatshields.

so i refitted the inlet pipe, airbox, hot pipe (which i removed twice again because id forgotten something), refitted the little boost controller dohicky whatsit, macguyver'd a couple hous clamps, crossed my fingers, and started her up.

no leaks, no strange noise (aside from the usual sr noises ), and yeah, beauty. so stoked. fairly sure im gonna be doing the dishes for the next month though, lol. its a bit ghetto at the moment, doesnt have the stone tray fitted, and the outlet snout on the turbo hasnt been torqued up, but shes running and not leaking. so im happy.
