Yo people i made it to Taiwan without any terrorists crashing the plane into any buildings:D

Ok heres a quick rundown of it so far.

I got upgraded to business class from Australia to Hong Kong so it was sweet as. Waited on hand and foot, full electric seat, tv, sterio the works.

Hong Kong airport is farkin massive, it has its own underground train to take you to terminals. The actual runway area is massive and would be crazy for a drift session.

My hotel in Tapei is actually an appartment with 1 single bed and 1 queen bed. Tv in bedroom and flatscreen in lounge, which has 2 couches and an armchair. Has own kitchen, and huge bathroom.

Now the best part, the traffic. :eek1: If u thought driving through springvale was bad, then damn multiply that by 100 and u might come close to how crazy they drive here. No 1 indicates when they wanna change lanes or pullout from road side parking, and there r millions of little scooters on the road.

I am scared to even drive out the hotel.

Going to get my new laptop and some other goodies from the main part of Taipei.

Cyaz:D

Just got back from the main shops in taipei!

Damn there is a whole street bought the size of chapel with just computer shops as every shop down both sides of he street!! And each is 4 levels!!!

I got a new laptop ASUS P4 2.4 GHZ,DVD/Burner, 15.1 monitor, 256MB RAM, 20 GIG HD, all for $3100.

There is so much electronic comp stuff around here. Going to look for sum car shops in the next few days if i get much time off work.

haha, the traffic in the asian countries is crazy, theres no traffic laws there, u just drive :D

but yeah, the electronics is damn cheap. laptops, md's etc. very good prices, and u can bargain em down as well. also, car gear is quite cheap, i'm not sure about taiwan, but in hong kong, stuff like gear knobs, filters, rice lites etc. are very cheap compared to here.

how long r u staying there for? would love to go there, only for a holiday though.

denham could u pick up sum electronic goods 4 me? Oh and the general rule of thumb is horn to let sum1 know your presence, if they piss you off try to run em off the road, and motorcyclists are smaller than you, therefore they must give way to you. At intersections its always first come first thru, traffic lights are merely decorative... well that's how it works in India anyways... silly backward curries.. go the lankans.

      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
