Looks like I should be able to come, my boss told me I am not going to Townsville.

Scratch that, I got told today that I am now going to Townsville and I'll be away for the 22nd. Bugger!!!

Ok, so here's the issue as I see it: The recce runs aren't so much a problem: I have nothing but time on my hands these days, so I am able to go far and wide to find some good roads if needed, and there's been plenty of offers from you Northern guys to do the same...

The endpoint is important: I've been on a few cruises now, and it's the endpoint that generally makes or breaks them: the last one was good because it was free of any public/crowds, had bathroom facilities, shade, and plenty of seating...

Those of you who were on Darrin's go-karting cruise would agree: the endpoint in that one was great for the same reasons (and it had pluto pups and go karts as well!!)...

I am more than happy to organise another southern run, finishing either at Myles' place again (assuming he's ok with that), or my place.... Alternatively you Northern folks can start putting some thought into suitable places to finish up, and we'll do the whole shebang up your end... :)

Let's aim to have a decision made by the end of the month: that way we have plenty of time to finalise the route, etc... Shade will be especially important for this next cruise, as it's not going to be getting any cooler in the near future....

I'm going in for a shoulder reconstruction on Nov 9th, I am not allowed to drive for a month, doctors orders, so no insurance etc. If my L plate son thinks he can handle it I might get there, otherwise its wait till the next one.

When the route is laid out my son and I can do a test run so he knows the way.

At this stage, it looks like being down this way, if not the same run we just did (but in reverse, maybe?)... Since I have stupidly promised a mate to run his business for him while he traipses around Europe, I'm way too busy to do a Northern recce run, but will see if I can find another interesting route locally...

That is of course unless someone else has done some groundwork up North??

      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.

      My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

      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
