Heres a couple of pics of the damage done to one of my valves a couple of months ago after a night out at the drags turned pear shaped.

I have my doubts about all of this damage being done on the night in question, in fact i think it was low in compression on cylinder 6 when it came off the boat in September. I just made it much worse when an electrode broke off a plug and went through the valve. :eek:

In all only 2 valves required replacing at a cost of 55 bucks each. Not too shabby. But it could have been MUCH worse.

This was when running 0.8 bar on a stock cooler on a relatively cool October night.

Mayhem,

Id only had the car 2 weeks before this happened, ran it a few times on 0.8 bar before i went down the strip without problems. My own stupid fault i suppose. But it goes better now than it ever did so I figure some of the damage on that valve was done before me.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
