Hey ppls.

Beware on the centre lane of Bell street right near Maccas, in the middle of the intersection.

There is a ****ing massive pothole which I bottomed out on last night and damaged on bumper.

It's going up on a hoist this afternoon to check for any other damage.

The guy behind me in a VP Calais riding on 19"s put a big dint in his rim and half his dash fell apart.

I guess I was a bit luckier.

So, beware, and stay out of the middle lane!

BASS OUT

PS. The council will be paying for our damage.

Fark i was heading right for it...luckily it was the day time so i had ample time to spot and move around it...it didnt look like a pot hole

Rather a large square hole with a 2 - 4 inch lip lol

OHhh, dont get me started about potholes and FckN sh!T roads in Melbourne. Not many things piss me off more than when i go over multiple hard bumps and potholes in a row... reallly sh!ts me :uzi: Every time i just think about the possible damage to my suspension, wheels, body kit, etc.

One spot in particular is on flinders st heading towards crown, there's a few really nasty potholes to look out for... but it's funny when you know where they are, and u watch people with lowered cars in front of you as they approach them and go over them.. haha :)

we should make a list of known bad roads/potholes..

    • 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
