hah i saw that the other day also! couldn't believe it....thought armin would of been in there and thought deadmau5 would of been higher tbh.. but seriously this wanker dj pauly d.. wtf, who would pay to see him..

Pauly D doesn't do concerts, he just does gigs at iconic nightclubs for excessive appearance fees. I know this because every 6 months some retarded club sends me an SMS trying to sell me tickets to an event featuring him...you couldn't pay me to go to that shit.

That seems like a very good set Martin, might need to save up for one.

Anyone here prefer to use metric instead of the imperial units???

Depends what you're working on, Imperial are pretty useless for Jap cars unless you have a f**ked bolt the right socket just won't go onto right as everything is in metric. If you're working on old school Yank tanks all the time though you'd probably find Metric are a bit useless instead.

The amount of cheap tools I've gone through...

Sidchrome set has not failed once in the now 2 years of having it

Kinchrome are great though cus dat lifetime warranty.

what he said.

Metric for Jap cars, eg Nissan

Imperial for USA/old cars eg mustang, thus why I need both.

if your only touching the stagea you can get by with just metric.

Kinchrome are great though cus dat lifetime warranty.

depending oh when you bought sidchrome has lifetime.

they dropped it for a while but brought it back last time I checked (ie when I bought some)

broke one of dad's sidchrome extensions years ago, had massive breaker bar with a pole on a converter extension.

walked into local store got replaced no receipt needed. awesome...

that said the old man had the best set, every socket from 2mm to 1 inch drive 100+ mm (used for taking tractor rims off)

and some Kunt stole the lot one night.

heat makes metal expand, then when it cools it contracts a tiny bit and it breaks free.

just dont do it with an industrial blow torch directly on the CAS to remove it without asking the customer then tell them they will probably need a new crank when they pick it up like a certain workshop did to a member here

please explain?

<3 my Stanley tools. It's a basic set, but you could take apart a car with it and only $200. I love it because there's no useless tools I can't see myself using, like the cheap 200 piece sets for half the price. Plastic handles = easy grease wipe off.

Ha good read. Odd that shm would split when being in the top 10. Will see how they perform in their separate ways.

My main tools are:

56(???) Piece Metric/Imperial Kincrome 1/2" Socket Set

8 - 19mm Ratchet Spanners ($60ish from Repco)

6 - 19mm Stanley Angled Ring Spanners

They've never failed to get the job done...

Sometimes one set isn't enough, eg undoing an exhaust bolt when you need 2 x 17mm spanners at the same time.

?

Yes. One million times, Yes.

Hell I'd be happy with just the top section with a few drawers ^_^

my Stahlwille spanners are the bees niys

got sidchrome sockets for everything else, but could do with some ratchet spanners.

the Total Tools home brand ones do break if tested, but (depending on the warranty) will just give you another one right then and there. no paperwork and no receipt.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
