well, the kidlings were absolute terrors tonight; Pete I cant see myself taking them out to an 'event' again for a while - very poorly behaved (I blame the crazy ex! :P)

Got so stressed trying to tell them off all night and get them to behave, in a crowd of ppl who paid good money to enjoy a sporting event.

As it turns out, the soccer was pretty bad...... poor form Adelaide United!! Great to see a 15yr old do well though.

good chatting again tonight Matty.

doubt we'll make the cruise - got to sort out WTF is going on with the front left brake line (got a slow pinhole leak). See if I cant get a set of braided lines made up today - see how busy morphett vale ABS is at lunchtime and if they can make up a pair for me. 3rd time now Ive had something "break" with the stock rubber R32 brake line hose on the front end of the Stagea (r32 calipers on 324mm rotors). Time to bite the bullet I suppose and sort this out once and for all.

Who's going to the xmas hardtuned cruise tomorrow night? Pete and I are most likely heading to the meet point, and suss it out from there.

I'll be heading down for a look, just near my house so too easy, hopefully the weather clears up.

seems a bit excessive, 2 kids do a skid, cops beat them up and then don't even get convicted of assault! what a joke!

This country is going backwards

go to america , where ever stop involves being throw to the ground , but I would be honest to say cops dont mess with people as much as here, unless your a total muppet , in LA you can run 30 over the limit as long as everyone is !!! and dont slam lanes like a race car.

but in usa if a police car gets behind you for more then 30 seconds , your going to get pulled over for a "check".... late at night , just you and a police car, your farked even if your clean and not speeding he will stop you

Big THUMB UP to ABS Morphett Vale to making me up a pair of front braided brake lines before they closed for the day.

Installed, bled, but not tested as yet.

Wont be doing tonights cruise, got people over now

Pity we wont meet up tonight brendan but at least your brakes are fixed.

By the way guys, Traffic lights are down at the henley beach and holbrooks road intersection. Power failure. Coincidentally, without the horrid light sequence in place cars are flowing through quite nicely :P hehehe

Undoubtedly the most practical thing for a Microsoft product then :laugh:

*runs and puts on tin foil hat so Bill Gates cant find me :P*

cool house Damo

as a kid in highschool we used to party in a old SAC minute man silo, the top was open but the bottom was flooded with deep nasty water and dark as hell. the police came after it got out of hand and after that they sealed it off with a concrete lid and rebar .. guess its hard to hide 100 cars in a empty paddock in the middle of know where on a friday night..haha

they would make a sweet house , damn thing is huge in the middle and a long way down . these days it wouldnt be far from town with the expansion of the city now.

in the midwest usa grain belt the're still is a bunch of old sites , I'm sure you could get one cheap as hell.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
