yeah i used to know them too - was going to get them to do it while they were at new town one day but i no longer work there so thats no much good!

been like that for 6 months now - so no it aint getting any worse :mad:

yeah. that'd be good.

Car is in a million pieces, but it looks shithot. combination of factory silver paint, muffler-dragging suspension and buddyclub P1s make for a surprisingly sexy combination.

May need to address a few minor panel issues and the front fac-option spoiler too. will be a good excuse though.

hopefully by then the full stereo transplant will be complete too.

paul,

I am a **** for cheesy rice culture.

First and foremost I think mine is probably a cruiser. it will be made to go fast in time, but will incur the wrath of my penchance for extremely loud music.

In the immediate future its more likely to be a fast ricer tho - if you had to put a label on it.

engine work (once everything goes back in)

turbs back exhaust, HKS pod, HKS AFR, cold air box to come in the VERY near future (maybe as soon as next weekend, depending on my saturday night).

other: tein coilovers on each corner (with associated minor damage to the front quarter panels from rubbing associated with going from 215/35s to 245/45s!), and my nice rims.

coming: bov, boost guage and bleeder of some descritption likely to follow soon.

skyzerr33, have you checked out the boots jay95 is selling? Don't know how they compare to pauls ($15 for Pauls may be better value), but the leather Jay uses is good stuff. Hell of a lot better than the factory vinyl stuff. Lets compare boots at the next cruise :mad:

Oh yeah, my peeling dash pissed me right off, so I sat down and painted it over the holidays. Its not rice, I swear!

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
