Morning Niz one more day huh.:(

Hey paul i know ure out there, remeber how when the main whoring started no1 could prove u were the ring leader? i guess this is proof huh :P just messing with ya as u cant say anything back :(

How cool was the fog this morning that rulz, so many tools not turning on their lights. *sigh*

The mighty Hyundai feels the wrath of thieves!!!

Well well well,

What a crap night I had last night. On the way home battling freeway traffic the girlfriend and I decided to stop for food at a fast food joint.... We headed down Canning Hwy to the Hungry Jack's and had dinner....

... Well, the next thing that happened suprised the hell outta me, as we were walking back to the car a nice lady ran upto us and said "Is this your car ?" we were like "Ummm, Yeah, why?" she then informed us that she saw someone smash the passenger window, reach in and grab a bag and then take off in a dark coloured car....(luckily she got the rego!) My girlfriend drives a stock-as-a-rock Accent btw... nothing to attract attention to it at all!

Thieves had jammed a screwdriver of some kind into the bottom of the the window and levered it up until the window shattered into a million pieces, glass was everywhere dammit!

Thinking my gf's bag was stolen from the front seat I thought "oh crap" then I realised she took it into HJ's with us, however my bag was on the back seat and they took it! Bastards!

In the bag was my work diary/book, Taxation forms, Finance crap, Insurance crap, some very important CDs with backup data etc, my Quicksilver jacket, and the bag was a Rip Curl one too. just to put icing on the cake..

So we called the police and told them everything, then we call the insurance company and book the car in to get it fixed the next day (today).... okay, so we drop off the car this morning to the smash repairs and I drove my girlfriend to work, as now she wont have a car for the next few days and has to pay her insurance excess too!

On the way to work I get a call from a man who went on his morning walk all the way out Embleton-way (the stuff was stolen in South Perth!) who said he'd found my diary, cd's and paperwork on the side of the road.. phew! what a relief!

So in summary: There are some mighty nice people around like the lady that tracked us down and gave us the rego, and the man who found my stuff and called me.... it honestly suprises me that people did that for a complete stranger, i guess we were just lucky.

However this still doesn't bring back my $180 jacket and $80 bag.... but still.. at least I got my paperwork back!

Okay, so that's my rant for this morning :P

Vspec asked me to post this

"Post this

The fog was kinda cool, but when your tired it kinda helps put you back to sleep.

I'm not the ring leader, just the catalyst for whoring

See'ya"

Hvae u tried a new login Paul?might be worth a shot in teh temp, I know it wont count to ure all imortant post count but its hould be good in teh meantime.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • 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.
