His arse....

Still, from a outsider looking in, he talks the talk, but I haven't seen any slips or natsoft times.

Not saying his builds aren't impressive, it's just they have massive holes that let the rest down.

It's weird, his S15 is the most under engineered over engineered build I've seen for years.

Meh, let me know when you hit the strip, I'll bet a bag of donuts my old $10k VX SS commodore smokes Bokemons S15.

And it will do it all night long.

Now, where do I put this dirty spoon....?

 

This will cheer you boys up, Tiguan under 2 years old with less than 29k kms on it has a cracked thermostat housing.

It's going back next week for a new thermostat housing LOL.

GTR is full house. S15 will be full house with a bottom end, gearbox and brakes, not too far off, the rest of the car has had every part replaced LOL. When those big three items are working fine I'd rather get use out of them until they break.

  • 2 weeks later...

I entered the Easter roll racing event and after it being cancelled again and again due to some flu going around the event was finally run on Friday night. 
 

I have managed to fix the traction issues and the car ran pretty much straight all night, I started on the lower boost setting and got a feel for it, then went up to the medium one and got a feel of that. Then I turned it up to the high setting and got a slight wiggle in the steering wheel but nothing to worry about but then it happened....... It lifted the head :( 

if I’m honest I can’t say it wasn’t expected, it’s the original head gasket that had some head studs put in without removing the head. So now i need to decide where to go from here 

here’s a video of the run where the head lifted, yes I got destroyed by that lambo 

  • Sad 2

Inserts "Get a Samsonas" joke? 

Damn man, so it was running after market headstuds and still lifted the head? Probably head gasket was breached in the past.

Just send it, build it and put a Samsonas behind it.

Great build mate, it’s come a long way, I think you are just around the corner from me, I live in Harrington park, we should organise a drive one day, if both cars are ever running at the same time ??

Also, I’d love to pick your brain on a few things, seems our builds are similar. Mine lifted the head a while ago, got it sorted now but the build has kind of run away from me and is doing what it likes, I just pay the bills ?

Thanks mate, looks like we are around the corner because I’m in Currans hill. Would love to go for a drive some time!

I don’t think my build will ever be to the level of yours but anything I can help with I’m happy to help

I definitely don’t want to end up as far down the hole as you but I’d like to fix some weak points 

Crank collar, Nitto oil pump, restrictors, sump vent, bearings, new seals all round, and Samsonas ?

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
