Oh, and this track bitch still has its wheels pointing in different directions, so there are still some things to do tomorrow morning.

Hopefully they'll still let me on the track if I miss the morning scrutineering session :P

It's going to be about zero degrees at 8am anyway. Way too cold to be standing trackside. I'll arrive after the sun comes out :O

you just worry about tomm.

in good time.

Too late then.... I've got my eye on another one that I'm going to see for the second time this weekend.

I've waited for your photos for 2 weeks now... Can't be that hard to get someone to take some snapshots for you :P

no biggie...im not that desperate to sell...ive been home only a few days...spending time with my young family has been my priority as ive not seen them for nearly 3 months...and photo's of it in the dark when i get home from work would be pretty pointless....ll take some on the weekend if you are still in the market.

lol the threat of "the photo" is probably worse than the photo itself.

but paul is dead right, all you need to worry about is the car tomorrow, will be great to see 2 new sau dedicated track cars debut on the same day!

Oh Harsh,,so very Harsh,,,It won't explode,,it's basically a stocker.

Thinking I might bring my Pov1 and throw it in Andrews car so he can relive some footage.

i hope it dosn't explode, but i'd much rather be freezing my nuts off at a track, than freezing my nuts off at work.

Well.... Car didn't make it to the track.

Problem with the clutch apparently, will know more next week I guess.

Punted the Beemah around instead, which was fun... Great handling car, but needed MUCH stickier tyres to get some real corner speed.

Even though it sucked the GTR didnt make, it, it was still good to cath up mate and the BMW sounds hot as!

When I was flagging at the flip flop, the sound of the motor around that part of the track was awesome!

      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
