Yeah the back plastics on mine have plenty of cracks.

That's the reason it keeps coming back.

Tried to use silicone to seal up the cracks but it's not working.

I'll have another check this weekend and see what I can do before purchasing them.

Okay so the timeline starts again.

So after fixing the radiator, rolling the guards, getting the coilovers installed & putting on the rims.

It was here! NATS! WOOOO FARKEN HOOO KARNTS!

I hadn't slept in days because I was so excited.

Got myself a helmet and loaded up the car with some spares just in case.

I pulled up at the nats and found myself a little spot next to Mat Geeteetee and unloaded the car.

Met all my whores from whore town who I hadn't met in person.

Who knew Tailor Made was going to have such a homo haircut haha!

Got the car out on the track and had an amazing time! Didn't have any gauges so I took it fairly easily.

1-2 hot laps and then a cool down lap, this worked well for me and the car didn't give me any issues.

I walked away with a 1.26 which was an okay time for the first time ever tracking the car.

I participated in the track day and the airport drags.

The airport drags was the best fun I have ever had and I think I got like 10 runs or more.

My best time was a 14 seconds flat I do believe.

On the very last run I thought I would give it my all and spent a fair bit on the limited.

Got halfway down the track the battery light came on and the temps shot through the roof.

Popped the bonnet and coolant was everywhere.

After closer inspection I had shredded my fan belt.

Mat was kind enough to go pick me one up and help me change it on the side of the road.

Rob pulled over and had a chat while using his hazards to make sure we didn't get hit

This is where I would like to give a shout out to Rob for his amazing effort.

After getting home I found that we had driven off on Rob and he got back in his car and had a flat battery.

He spent a few hours on the side of the road waiting for the NRMA as we boosted off into the distance.

(Rob I still owe you that drink or 10 mate)

Big thanks to Matt, Carmon & Rob for helping out and keeping company.
I would have been stuck there without you guys.

Ohh and here is a model shot of Josh (Tailor Made) & myself inside the car.

So I cleaned my throttle body a few months ago.

Not thinking I actually cleaned off the sealant around the butterfly.

Could this be the cause of high idle?

How would people go about adding the sealant back and what would you use

I did the same thing and my car idles at 2000rpm now. Makes driving slow nice and easy as you don't have to accelerate.

The sealant is some special crap you have to buy if you really want to fix it. I'm pretty sure it's from tomei.

Source of your whistle?

could possibly be

This could be the reason that you only get it on a certain vacuum

Because it is in a certain position that causes the whistle.

Now just to find out what product I can use.

Some say gasket sealant but I don't want it to get sucked into my engine.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
