You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Mike showed me pics. You have silver ones, yeah? I like my silver ones. Look good on the car. I just don't want to destroy my centre caps, but can't find a tool for them anywhere, what with them being discontinued.

I have 2 sets, silver and black.

I also have issues finding tool for the centre caps.

speaking to a friend who works at a volkswagon dealership... apparently customer came in for routine service on new gen Golf. "do you know why my golf keeps going through so much oil?" friend spoke to some people and found out the new golfs are designed to use up oil. around 2L per 5,000-10,000kms or something

:wacko:

not sure if trying to keep regular servicing or trying to meet emissions standards/efficiency.

and heard about audi servicing too... blimey. Audi 15,000kms service: $1200. Q7 brake pad replacement: just under $1000 a corner because need to replace rotors as well.

A maloo is only driven by 18/19yo tradies who are trying to use it to chase minge.

Tell him to buy a golf to get to golf.

so they have a tiguan for mum to drive.

in first 12 months spent 33 weeks in the shop.

they replaced gear box twice, seals in something else, to find it was the rear main seal in motor.

note it was not a VW owned center but a re seller, and if you know where I grew up you will have an idea on where the dealer is...

scary thing is he drives soooo slow, as checking out what other farmers are up to, so when he hits the 8-km zone at the edge of town he has to speed up!

thats because Euro cars are usually owned by people that think spending money on cars for no real reason is cool...They like to brag to their friends about how much they spend...As if spending pointless cash is a sign of prosperity...

but hey, whatever helps the economy churn over...

Let him have his fun and sell it to me for cheap when he's done with it.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
