you can work that one out for yourself...

i'd have a lot less worry parking my car in an enclosed car port - but if a theif really wants to steal it, they'll find a way in and take it

hence introduction of GPS.....

Yuppo.

Nothing you can do. I dont understand why thats so hard to get through peoples head.

If someone really wants your car they WILL get it. Alarm, immobiliser, gps etc. might slow them down but there's a way to bypass everything and an experienced thief will be out of there in under a minute.

Ive lived in Europe for half my life and a brand new Audi r8, BMW m5 etc. makes its way from Germany to Russia in 3 days. Im pretty sure these manufacturers take a massive precaution as to theft of their cars yet they are as good as gone.

Yes an alarm or immobilizer is required for insurance etc. but thats as far as thats gonna go if a real thief wants your car. Best thing to do is get insurance and hope no one likes your pride and joy a little too much.

all the best to getting it back, this is becoming way to regular. long shot, but if he has reported some of the items that are specific to his car e.g sound system, wheels or any clothes left inside the car to the police, and it makes its way into a cashies some time soon. you can trace back to who sold it there and get some form of justice

try the cashies in elizabeth etc.

(not tryna be stereotypical or offend anyone)

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
