=[ R.I.P Minh...

Hey all.

I knew Minh, and my gf was childhood bestfriends with him. We visited his family today and have his funeral details.

It would be good to see all his friends and very close friends there. He lived life with friends around him all the time, so it would be a fitting farewell to have all those that knew him there.

My girlfriend and I have got permission to post up all the funeral details from his mum, uncle and aunty if you wish to attend.

RIP Minh and prayers are with the injured. Ill leave any other comments out, as I just dont know what else to say. This brings me to tears, horrible tragedy.

Just one question, I know of a few ricardos from here, which one was it? Not the one that use to own a white 32?...

so ur just gonna delete my posts and keep ur OT posts up?

i know ur new to this whole moderating thing, but thats not really how it works, u cant just use the moderating powers to help get ur point across, thats abuse of powers, generally not a done thing.

my advice would be to delete all off-topic posts including ur own, and sort out any issues via PM.

FYI, I've retained some of your posts by quoting them in mine and have deleted the original to avoid any further clutter.

How's this for a new Mod, one more post from you in this thread and you get a holiday....don't make it a permanent one.

I'm sending you a PM and an official warning.

This is the mindset of 90% of the people who bought a Sunday Mail from me this morning and felt they had to voice their opinion. Their comments are unjustified, but you seem to think they are 'fairly in line'.

Its all good; if they read the article they will see the hoon vehicle of choice is apparently VN Commodore driven by a P plater.

Teens and early to mid 20's decisions tend not to consider consequences. We have all made mistakes but no one deserves to pay for it with their life. RIP.

he went on to say people with expensive tyres generally aren't found doing burnouts and donuts

its a shame about the direction this thread went; were not meant to be debating media mikes kneejerks, the lack of a race track, or the 'heat of the moment' stupidity and emotions that caused minhs death.

RIP minh, deepest sympathies to your family and friends.

+1 this is a thread to let people know what happened not to all chip in your 2c at what went on...

sorry to any one involved and rip to minh, as for the other guy id say he will be dealing with is for the rest of his life...

just went past where it was on the way home and the lock ups are intense :S

guys please read post #127 AGAIN.......we're discussing tracks again which will no doubt lead to discussion of Mr Rann and possibly flamage towards the drivers again.

burkill, you've already received a warning from Dan the Man for this sort of thing in the Hoon thread so I'm not the only one that's watching.

This thread is about to be closed the way its headed unfortunately...........one more try.

I cant understand how this has gone from a thread to show respect to Minh and his family to a political banter about drag strips and hoon drivers. Yes the circumstances do not affect us import drivers in a good way, but put that behind you all for know and just show some respect for Minh and his family and also Ricardo, his passengers and their families.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
