There are always good and bad stories about every workshop... I am sure that RP071 has a true story to tell but one experience for one person doesnt mean that it will happen to everyone.

I know these guys quite well as they are a customer of mine and they seem to know what they are doing.. They have built some very serious cars.

1. Bullet32 - Show 'n' Shine

2. Kat - Dyno comp and Show 'n' Shine

3. Bluprint - Show 'n' Shine

4. Ex!$t3nZ - Show 'n' Shine (ill be coming but my car will probably be parked with the toymods people)

Too true, I've heard some horror stories about Gas motorsport as well, but I'll leave that for another day.....

PM sent to everyone that was asking questions. Basically, I have told them that it is up to them wether they run their cars and all I have done is to share my experience.

was told there should be heaps of Evos and WRX

Awesome! The 4wd category should be entertaining then :rofl: I got my car back on friday, its cutting sick but unfortunatly its 2wd for the moment. It should be sorted for the day so im in!

Only the dyno comp though, my car still looks like sh1t.

Whatcha putting out at the rears now matey? Haha occasionally I do something silly like activate rwd mode and it makes for interesting driving :D

Kat should put all the Evo/WRX's to shame, even with small turbo's. Now the Supra is another matter.

"Kat's small turbos" I know that appears to be your favourite thing to say. Just pointing out they aren't a whole lot smaller than yours. It's only turbos I'm talking about here :rofl:

I'll be in! I spose it will be stupidly early though *sigh* :)

Small turbs are underated. I personally know of a dyno proven 505awkw made with 'little' 2530's. I like Kat's pair. They look great, the bang for the buck is there, she's got the runs on the board,... We're still talking turbos, aren't we?!? ; p

anyhoo, I'll be there with a different kind of JDM model for the show'n'shine. Go the Foz!

that 505 wasn't on pump fuel :P

No, but does that matter? Does a sub 10 second run in a street registered car matter either? Or a bunch of show'n'shine trophies? Or magazine features?

No, it had twin, 'little' low mounts on. That's what matters.

Ha! Got it back and it was pumping out just shy of 360kw atw. It lifted off the dyno the first run so we needed people in the boot.

The Autronic rocks.

    • 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.
