i had a think about it... and here is a quick list of what I drove on my L's... this is only the GOOD car list... had a million shitters too.

- Subaru STI (old type - like 98 model - first of the four doors)

- Honda Integra Type R (old model), S2000

- Merc SLK 230 kompressor, CLK 320 kompressor, A190

- Holden SS (good for your L's!)

- HSV Clubsport

- Lexus IS200, GS300, LS430

- Nissan S15

um, thats about it from the good list as far as I can remember.

I also drove a hyundai excel once on my L's... first and only non power steering car i have ever driven. Made my arms sore too :P

I'm still on my L's, and i may still be when i get my Skyline some time next year :P

So far I've driven an auto Hyundai Excel and a manual Toyota ?Ultima? or something like that.

I've only had about 6 hours driving all up, so i'm far from being good at it.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
