a $30 filter could cause over $2000 of damage. it happened to macka 6 months ago

Don't know what it is with you guys and pods.

Have had 2 xR's with em on , took em off , put std box back in with K+N .

NO difference at all, well none you would notice on the road.

Cheers

Ken,

True, but I can shear off a sump plug:p

See'ya:burnout:

Sad part was , it wasn't the sump plug , just the aftermarket insert.

* hmmm , can't even recognise a sump plug *:P

Cheers

Adam,

Your still getting a workshop to replace the valve right?

See'ya:burnout:

Hope it is the valve and not just a lump of carbon stuck under the seat.

Adam will be pissed off .

Cheers

yeh

i got a headshop lined up for next week

unless its something rediculously simple like a bolt stuck in there in which case tristan should know what hes doing. well have to wait and see, should be a bit of a learning experience nontheless

If it's a bolt stuck in there , you are gonna NEED a headshop cos the valve will be bent , seat scored and hope it hasn't peppered the piston.

Cheers

Ken

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
