So i got a puncture on the rear left tyre, and went to get it fixed.....

Walked out with new wheels and tyres. The car rides much nicer on 19's and finally looks better. some G-Max Defiant's in Hyper Black sitting on 245/35/19's

Did some spirited driving today down on the Peninsula and can highly recommend the Pirelli Zero Nero tyres too.... :nyaanyaa:

Need to get some coilovers now to drop it a bit....

So what has anyone else bought on impulse??????

^ yes you have. You bought those gtr seats that I was going to buy but they didn't match my interior and you said "I might buy them cos my interior is blue"

If we were talking non car related stuff I could fill pages on all the impulse buying I've done :nyaanyaa: . But in terms of cars, I can't think of anything big I've bought on impulse except maybe my new wheels. I was going to the shop just to "check them out" but ended up buying them. I don't think that counts as an impulse buy though because deep down I expected myself to buy them, I just kept that thought to myself lol.

Other than that there's been stuff I've wanted and then happened to come across somewhere and bought it on the spot without really giving much thought to whether or not I really needed it or could afford it.

Bought a second hand DLS D1000 monoblock amp on impulse whilst out with Kidafa because it was great value. That lead to me buying a 13w7, not quite on impulse, but I certainly didn't think I was going to buy it the week before :nyaanyaa:

Didn't really buy much on impulse for car related stuff as most of the parts are pretty expensive.

But I bought a bunch of smaller crap (most of them I found out I didn't have much/any use for...) on impulse.

Also I almost placed an order for the new Asus G73 gaming laptop (~$2.5k) on impulse but managed to convince myself to hold it for another month or so as otherwise I won't have $ for my car's service thats due soon.

Bought a series 1 dayz pearl white stagea at auction in Japan and was going to build that

Within a week bought another series 2 which was a better buy and that is the car I have today. That was a impulse buy

Managed to keep the second stagea a secret for 2-3 months from the missus :(

      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
