Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)

The only real problem I've ever found with them (overheating wise) is if you use aftermarket seals. Then they leak oil, and then get too hot because they don't have enough oil to keep them cool.

Insufficent lubrication. Never good.

Mangs, scrackin?

Had an epic lazy weekend, apart from the going into work on my Saturday off, making up for that now by screening all works calls they can eat a dick cheers.gif

GL to you john but all my years of not owning an aircooled engine built for northern european climate only convinced me I did the right thing by avoiding them.

I dont think I ever saw one that wasnt either just rebuilt or needed rebuilding.

spoken like a true skeptic there Noel :domokun:

if unloved and just trashed any car is terrible. with a little love and some extra oil they are quite happy cruising around in the heat. plus a basic long block rebuild costs less than 1400 bucks, thats a win :cheers:

as for the rotary idea, that was/is still my plan for when i ever break my VW motor (as it will never be a daily...or need to be overly reliable again). and supercharged ones hanging out the back of a low bug does look pretty phat.

Spoken like a true "i've never owned a vw, but i've heard others complain about them, so i'll make the same complaints" man. A close relative of the "i've never owned a 300z, but i hear things about engine removals..." man.

You're cluless John, Have i owned one, Hell no. too smart for that but i bet there have been more of the f**ken things in my family than you've probbly even seen. From stock woosty's to fastbacks to manx buggys. The buggy was a tunna fun till we flipped it with 8 blokes hangin off it.

If you want to nurse them around they are fine to a point but they will never outlive a watercooled engine in a tropical clime.

You start moddin the fokkas and they're more trouble than a rb.

    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it. 
    • It always seems the uglier an animal is the more is costs
    • It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.
    • I bench bled my HFM BM57 before installing, it leaked badly. Threw it in the bin, because I installed it 2 years after purchase.
