Pork belly burnt ends ftw!

I did some killer spare ribs last night, no pictures tho, just demolished! (Bourbon BBQ sauce glaze of course!)

LOL I am the absolute fkn worst when it comes to taking pics of my work.

Last night the mrs and I went head to head, I did a 6 hr lamb shoulder, and scratch made the slider buns, served with roasted sweet potato and salsa, she comes back with handmade toasted brioche and a chocolate soufflé.

She remembered to take pics of hers, and I ate the everloving fck out of everything, THEN remembered the pics...

Also - stumbled on a new glaze recipe too - smoky bourbon and blueberry. Just got to wait 4-5 months for my blueberry bushes to get their shit together

Blueberry sounds interesting!

I want to try an espresso sauce one day.

Well, coffee seems to be de rigueur for rubs, so I assume it would be tits for a sauce

 

hell, lets be honest, when is a good espresso not absolute tits?

I haven't had Side Door yet. Hoping to hit up 3230 this weekend though, I hear the burgers are passable

 

How goes the Tonka truck import?

Slow.

Was on the phone to an american shipping company about getting my doors sent from Kansas to Texas. 2 phone calls to America at 11pm last night and they said they'd email me ASAP. Came into work today - no email ugh!

Fkn yanks eh?

You need to put full skinned doors on I assume?

I just ask, because I have designed a couple of sets of rock doors, but I have no idea how road legal they are

 

I don't need full skinned doors, but as far as security and weather protection goes, I want some.

As my car rolled out the factory doors with canvas doors, in theory, they should be legal because original equipment.

 The weather isn't shit enough to keep the bike in the shed...

(however the severe limitations of the new back tyre have been fully realized)

In other news, finally got my hands on a sous vide on the weekend. Holy shit those things are awesome

Yeah, I "might" have paid way too much for a couple of prime rib eyes from the boatshed market to test this theory

Never had a bad prime rib/rib eye.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
