Hey Guys,

I got the call at 6am this morning, one of my cousins was killed in a car accident last night at around 11.30pm.

We dont have all the details yet but what I know is she was being driven home from a work christmas party and a drunk driver collided with them and killed her. The driver of the other car is in hospital with minor injuries.

Her son, 16 years of age has not had a dad since he was born and his mum was his life. Now he has nobody.

Please, everyone on SAU.. and everyone who reads this, dont drink and drive this holiday season. Its just much easier to catch a cab and not suffer the consequences of either dying, getting injured for the rest of your life.. or in this situation ruining lives of really nice people.

Condolences..

I've found it very hard without my dad around (died Nov. 21 2003, RIP dad..) and my mum and brother are all I have and am thankful for them..My feelings and those of my family reach out to you..

Poor fella, to have never known his dad and now his mum taken from him, near Christmas time too..The drunk bastard will now carry this on his conscience for the rest of his life, killing someone at such a time of year and leaving her only child behind..

Pentae, please seek some counselling for the poor 16-year old guy, or be there for him as his confidant or someone he can speak to, to empty his chest of his sorrows etc. I was suicidal when dad died, the things stopping me from going to the other side was the promise I had made while he was alive that I would take care of the family, and the school counsellors, my teachers, and my mum being there whenever I needed to talk..All in all, it will be a very hard time for this guy, so be there to help him through this pain :(

Merry Christmas, and please don't drink and drive this holiday season :(

That's horrible to hear. People that pay the ultimate sacrifices for someone else complete stupidity.

If you drink and drive, your not a bloody idiot, your a ****en idiot.

Now some poor kid has lost both his parents. Please think of other people's safety before you jump in a car. You might be willing to kill yourself, but others dont need to die.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
