Ok speed racers.

Here's the scoup. Karyn has emailed me a copy of the HSV entry form. FYI the cost of the day is a reasonable $110 and consists of a practise session (passengers allowed), 3 timed lap sessions of 3 flying laps, followed by 3 "Super Sprints" of 5 laps where you will be handicapped according to the morning timed lap sessions.

All in all sounds really cool.

Unfortunately - I then rang Chris - the event co-ordinator - about how many spots where left. He tells me there is only 3 or 4 left. (they only run a field of 72 - compared to PIARC that run a field of 120!)

Not sure what we want to do on this now? As I said - I have the entry form if anyone is really keen to go. My phone call with Chris was difficult as it was on his mobile and he had bad reception so I might send him an email and ask whether there will be room for say 8 more (they might be happy to increase the field size - although there may be some CAMS related issues with that - I'm not sure)

Andrew, ask him for a larger field as the chase sprints are huge fun. Have to try to catch the guy in front who is trying to catch the next guy and so on .......

Im going to curb my enthusiasm and give my car 3-4 weeks of day to day driving to iron out any possible probs after all the work has been done. Will also give me the time and opportunity to get the thing tuned 100% and lean on the old girl a little in the hp stakes.

So enjoy, i may be down to film, spectate, whore rides with others...but will see.

I'll direct this question to roy.

When you rented the echo for the track day how much did it cost and was there a km limit that you could do?

Were there any other good cars to rent for a reasonable price?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.

      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
