everyone please be conscious of electricity usage today, mk. Thanks.

Currently work planning for some upgrades near the Eildon & Rubicon hydro power stations. Transformers here were installed in 1914, getting ripped out this year. Will make sure to give them their letter from the queen. That shit is asset sweating to the max. Never even heard of equipment so old, even in the UK.

Could secretly be the Decepticons

Stay safe when playing with Transformers

what are the chances the replacement gear fails before that old gear would have, even if its inefficient and 100 years old.

its more of the case the old gear more likely to essplode during peak loads like on day like today. and the things are leaking oil like no tomorrow. (its all bunded, but dont tell EPA)

replacements could be decepticons. Will have to ask before they get switched on.

wow. cvant just be stupidty. drugs? booze?

Not sure haven't read into the story much, but seems as tho the driver was being a dick before hand

"Witnesses have told us they were overtaken by the Kia, and saw it go through an earlier intersection where the lights flashed."

The road was still closed when I went through it in the morning as well.

Terrible.

Thats shocking. also a terrible article, I still have no clue who was where, who was driving what car or if they even knew/caught the person responsible.

on a lighter note: only time I'd probably own an Evo/engine

Wish that dashcam video showed the point of impact and aftermath. If anything, would have worked just on shock value to show all the morons and airheads out on the roads what happens when they run reds/don't pay attention etc.

Those TAC campaigns show all the gore and shit, and it's all just manufactured to teach people. Using a real example would really hit home I reckon.

I think out of respect for the victims families it's not really appropriate

Yea I can see your point. I guess a good analogy would be an organ donor: the ability to prevent another's death through a life lost . Showing people the real deal would be more effective than showing some scripted CGI commercial which everyone knows isn't real.

^this @L33SH

I've seen a few fatalities on the roads and stopped with my old man to help before emergency services have come, it's pretty disturbing for someone that has no relation to the victims let alone a family seeing it

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
