I'm a bit perplexed - my Blitz Lm front mount intercooler was working fine. But last time I drove it it didn't seem to be working. My oil cooler was also having problems and I'm wondering if the two are connected in some way.

Normally I get my full power and and my oil never goes above 80-85' but this time it was hovering around 90'.

Any thoughts???? What do you think the problem is????

I thought I should add a photo, it might help:

It was on my return from Mt Gambier to my home town, a little bit over 900km in the day.

Note that it only happened late evening/at night and all in about a 100km strip from jerilderie to lockhart.

Note that I've already cleaned the lights and windscreen off, it was much worse.

Thank god for the car bra.

(And mods you can move it if you think its OT).

Lucky the same stuff got on your face otherwise we might be able to identify you. :thumbsup:

Those that know me have seen enough of me, those that don't aren't missing much!!

killer mullet..

30 years in the making, I had it at school [and being biker scum helps], I know its not 'fashion' these days, but I couldn't come at poo pants and hair gel.

Im a total noob. WTF is it? Some sort of clay?

The only thing i have ever had build up like that in any of my cars was a swarm of bees. lol. They lost.

yeah, midges from standing water, lagoons, swamps etc along the side of the road as well as Urana Lake - which is half full for the first time in probably 20-30 years. Had clouds of them, my headlights were so dim I had to drive at 60=70 km/h until I could get somewhere to clean it.

And Paul, if you order your car bra and then give it to me I'll 'customise' it for you no real problem atm

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
