aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

here is some shelby poetry...........

My friend is a poet...

tehehehehe *shucks* I am not a poet, merely an admirer of a masterpiece created in the time where cars were dangereous and sex was safe - by a team with vision, something ford has never encountered ever since. Aerodinamics -_wind-tunnels in mind, sleek, elegant and perfect 50/50 balance to go around corners. Weight - completely different monocoque construction - same as today's F1 cars - first ever, very light and 3 times as strong and finally POWER.... full aluminium 7.4 litre (light) with enought horsepower to tow Greg Norman's boat, not to mention torque - because there is no substitute for cubic inches and at 427 cubic inch this baby had about 700 Nm of torque. Until today every Chev owner has only been able to dream and even the R/T Viper only begins to scratch the surface with the 6 Litre V10 - fourty years later. *sniff* this is nostalgic stuff.....

had stuff to dooo

anyone know who drives a white R33 with a big ricey FastLane sticker on the rear window ..... saw it today with a Celica with number plates "docking" in pursuit.

Well looks like we finaly hear something bad about steve at SST.

Not gonna go into the details but Gradenko is not a happy chappy. Basically he told steve to pull something out and send it to some other guys to fix it under warranty as it was only out last month and they guarentee their work.

Steve palms it off to another guy because hes busy or couldnt be bothered and the other guy passes it on to the warranty place which doesnt know its under warranty and charges the second guy for the work.

He goes back to pick it up this morn and finds hes been charged just cause steve had a communication breakdown and/or couldnt be bothered. So an extra $200 on the bill for something he could have done him self but didnt want the car off the road for 4days. Also both steve and the guy he palmed it to are now saying its not their problem. Real nice.

I know there are 2 sides to every story but this side dont sound too good.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
