Geoff - what did you do re your turb ? Was it the seal ??

Fatz / Maj / Anyone - If I bring an extra set of tyres only, is there a place nearby that I can get them changed on to my other set of rims (currently have good semi slicks on them)

Nah it was just the hose connecting my fmic piping with the crossover pipe. Must have a pinhole leak right where a little bit of oil collects so it was squirting out into the engine bay.

Bought some (expensive!!) silicon hose but it did BAD things to the sound of my intake for some reason (sounded sick, and my compressor surge noises were completely gone!) so I put the rubber one back on and really reefed the hoseclamps down. Hasn't reappeared yet... gonna try the silicon again when i can be bothered but if it ain't broke..... :(

Any nothern beaches people (mal?) - leave 6:30/7 from forestway shops? (the back carpark near the RTA)

post in the thread if you're meeting at forestway, or I'll just go straight to oran park :D

Mark has some special wheels for me - things will get interesting when I bolt them on!! :)

Shite - I should go to bed hey......

Geoff - I'll be at Forest way at 6:30 - I'll wiat till 7:00 for ya - I'll be the one still half pissed and sleeping - so wake me up when you se my car OK - Otherwise I'll see you ar Oran ! :D

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
