where did you get the turbo beanie?

hows it holding up? the ones i have seen don't last too long and have a habit of smoking really bad after a while.

Ebay, it's branded autobahn88...

So far so good, between it and the heat wrap on the dump it smoked for a while but now has cleared up and is fine :)

Failed to make it down to the drags this week because I tried to reinstall the rear stock suspension to get a bit of squat in the rear end and because of all the alignment changes the bottom seat of the spring hits against the upper camber arm!

So I had a bit of a hissy fit and went f**k it I'm not going down at all and left the rear end in bits and on jack stands...

Going to get my shit together tonight and put the coilovers back in and then probably just raise the rear end a inch or 2 and run it like that down the drags with some MT ET streets, probably won't be a good time due to getting kicked out as soon as you run a 11.99 or better but will be good to see how high the mph will be.

Fingers crossed for at least a low 11 at 130+mph

Well drags went ok, didn't get the best launch in the world but went for it anyway, ended up getting kicked out so only 1 pass on power.

Ran a 11.03 @ 132.5mph and the ANDRA official kicked me out and said to not come back without 10.99 or better regulations.

So close but no 10, at least the mph was healthy :)

Fck yeah mate, thats awesome. what tread did you use? with the coilovers or stock?

Coilovers, stock suspension hits on camber arms now. MT ET streets 255/50/16

thats moving. I think my t67 with 10 cm housing is goung on with rhe cams and e85. will see what abuse it can take and whether the lil 20 can keep on the boil down the qtr. god knows it will ne a shitty track setup

Mine was set up for track really, all I did was would the rears up 15mm and bolted on tyres. Those ET streets are surprisingly grippy haha

I always thought it was a 10.99 you needed before getting the boot, either way a very good time

11.99 you need a harness, tailshaft loop and andra licence etc... Because I was so close to a ten and mph was high he said I had to sort the 10.99 or quicker requirements as well, so cage plus lots more

      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
