Ok, so i have been driving around in a less than perfect car for a long time now. I finally have done something about it and taken to opportunity to upgrade as well. Let me know what you think.

The damage;

somebody reverse parked behind me and scraped the rear bumper. Very impressed that they left a note and paid money the next week for it. :) There are some good people left in the world.

I couldn't drive stick for a week due to leg injury so i borrowed parents auto and they had the line. Mum goes down to supermarket, one with those concrete tyre stoppers. oops! Dad tells me, " yeah i was driving the car and there was this weird scraping sound but then it went away". goodbye front bar!

So after a lot of time, i got my act together and booked the car in to Camerons Body works. I decided to also get rid of my coles shopping trolley wing (and fix the rust that had started to creep into the bootlid) and get sideskirts and pods.

Got a quote that i was extremely happy with and gave it to him for a week.

Got it back yesterday and was very happy with the result. Paint match must have been hard ( i do not have code) but they got pretty close. There was an incident with some inner front wheel well guards not being secured but that was easy to sort out. I would recommend Camerons Body works to anyone out there needing some work. Knowledge is good, communication is good, service is good.

The end result.

      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
