I heard that the old clip style ones were illegal as they protruded from the bonnet too much, but eh flush ones are ok?

just read the regs and yeah I think your right.

(last time I read was 10 years ago for my stang)

if they don't protrude your ok so the aero catch ones should be fine..

well unless a cop decided they are a pedestrian hazard.

so regs say:

Hmmm true true, but it's jsut a pain in the ass to have to unlock the pins, then pull the bonnet latch. Was hoping to remove catch all together so it's just a straight process of undoing pins. Not wanting to get defected for it though so thought 'd see if anyone has any info regarding

Need two secure points for the bonnet if you ever do any track days

Sorry for the noob question but what does that mean? I've got 2 bonnet pins on either side of the bonnet, but that's not what you mean is it? lol

i love the people that go on about Reps being deadly...

If half the national comp level drifters can use them and hit ripple strips sideways at 200kph without issues, somehow I doubt some phaggot in a VW doing 3kph to get up a wooden plank into shallow driveway to go to a circlejerk hardpark meet has anything to worry about

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
