  1. You can drive spiritedly within the speed limit. You just keep the speed limit whilst going around corners....
  2. Hey mate, can you pm me some more pics? Cheers, Luke.
  3. I'm guessing loss of oil pressure. And i was building in my garage, don't really have the equipment needed to notch a piston. Don't really know, but some may, would notching the piston weaken it? Thinking about it, I think it would. But thanks door the comment. I appreciate feedback, and other ideas.
  4. just sent through payments for myself, and my mate. luke gtr mr clubby see you guys on the day ps, on a side note, what happend to the skids emoticon? i had to use bananaman
  5. Can't do fridays. Will keep an eye out for a Saturday one.... Have fun guys.
  6. Make your way out to the west, and you can grab a ride with me and the missus. Hope you don't mind the back seat.
  7. I've seen manual controllers, that look similar to a handbrake mechanism, just set and forget. Stays at the same torque split until you adjust it. Try tracking one of these down. Pretty sure the drag boys use them. Don't know how common they really are though. Probably the best bet for what your describing. Good luck.
  8. Yep, I've heard it from a couple of people. Mahles the only company that's like it. And part numbers match up with numerous web sites.
  9. Ok, I've been waiting for my engine to rack up 1000ks to make sure nothing goes bang. I bought parts through a friend of a friend, and he supplied mahle forged pistons. He also neglected to inform me that they foul the oil squirters. So, after the first piston was in, went to turn the crank over, and it got real hard. From here, I checked to see what was happening.... What i found was the piston fouling the squirter. So? What do i so now? Answer: mod the squirters to fit. I have attached(hopefully) pics of the modded squirters, with pics of installed so you can see where they foul, and how little room you will have. Ok, first things first: You will have to grind the locator flat. I used a bench grinder. CAUTION: being a small amour of alloy, it gets very hot, very quick. Second: Grind the back edge of the squirter at an angle. Third: As you can see her, I have used a copper washer. The piston comes down to the point where it nearly contacts. My thoughts were, I don't want to risk inertia just bringing them into actual contact. Better safe than sorry. Fourth: As you can see here, positioning of the squirter is critical! Too far one way, it will hit the under piston bracing. Too far the other, it will foul the rod. You can see where the locator would have gone. To torque without the squirters moving, I used a pair of long nosed pliers in the locating hole. And done them up to the highest point of factory torque specs. I can't remember, but I think I also used a drop of loctite. So, there you have it. As stated, have been running my engine for 1000kms now, without incident(touch wood). I've also had my engine spinning at/near redline. Any questions, pm me. Hope this helps others, as I couldn't find much on it other than people saying, "yeah, I've heard they foul." Cheers, happy modding....
  10. Hmmm making me think.... Either way, I used motul 4100 turbolight to run in, 1000ks, then oil and filter change. Seems to be going ok so far....
  11. Had a grey 34gtt at work today. Fixing up his alignment.
  12. I'll see what I can swing. I said A Saturday night, and forgot I'm helping a mate do an engine in a lancer this sat arvo. Don't worry, ill be trying. Might even tell him I have to leave early. Really want to come to this.
  13. I've got the new club spec slot 4000series on my 32gtr. Got the whole set for 600(4 rotors). Keep looking, they are on the website. From memory, not with the rest, have to go down the list a bit.
  14. Mine are gloss black. And still look awesome.
  15. ill im getting from this is cheap pumped guards.... joking, joking, will work on the wiring leading up to the event. and besides, my straps rated to 2T im pretty sure, and mounted off the rear strut brace, it looks so hectic, all the wimenz drop their pants at the very sight of it
  16. looks good.
  17. hi guys, just an idea, would it be possible to add events to a facebook acount, so it automatically syncs with my calander? probably not the easiest thing to do, but an idea.
  18. i seem to pull around 1-1.2G on the street with no worries. and the last "kahna" type event i went in, was also ok. ive got plugs to install for the speaker wiring, just not the power.... ....yet. and still have to buy an extinguisher. but looking forward to the day. my first texi, im a little excited
  19. tats, what happens when you dont remove the sub?
  20. never had koren bbq, but sounds good. id be up for a saturday night. im getting a bit old, so dont like to be out late when i have to work the next day.
  21. id be double checking the wiring to the gearbox. that is exactly what mine was doing. recheck the connections at the back of the gearbox(reverse swith and transfer case wiring). good luck mate.
  22. mine are similar, catches every piece of reflective tape/signage. good to see the back of cop cars from far away. and mine arnt set too high. have travelled behind mates who havnt complaid, and when asked said it was ok.
  23. go red, change your valves to red. would look pretty darn good.
  24. that appears to be a white display, would be easier than changing the green display in a 32. try the cellophane, but you may have to try differnet tints to get the look you want. let us know how you go.
