MLR's 86 not a build thread thread
The Bogan replied to The Bogan's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Been away with work for a while, managed to get home last weekend, took the thing for a spin. I think I need a new clutch...by think I need one, I mean my throw out bearing seems kaput. #UWISSH No catastrophic engine failure yet mate, I am working on it though. -
Any other twin owners out there? Or am I the only one here?

I've just come back from down Bega way, there were cows bloody everywhere, either the fires knocking out fences, or farmers cutting the fences so the cows didn't melt. Not just remote farms, Hwy ways, main roads, those beasts were everywhere, well the ones that actually made it out anyway. You has PM

Years ago I used some aftermarket brass bushing to replace the plastic one in my boat. Twas a good improvement. Pretty sure there is a how to thread here I used. -

Big change. A radiator air guide thingamagig does wonders for cleaning up the front and hiding the thermos and stuff, I'm dubious if it actually helps with cooling though. Plus it's a good work station for tools and stuff. -

I have a habit of putting the car on stands, pulling stuff apart, then putting everything back together a day or so later, I also have big drain grates around, after working on the car I tend to walk around looking at stuff, typically drinking and tripping over shit, hell, it's not a sensible thing to do, but it's how I roll. Note to self: be more organised when working on the car. Meh, yeah nah. Organising shit is for chicks. EDIT: come to think of it, this lack of organisational skills could be the eeason I have no 1/4 or 3/8 sockets left, and I can never find a 10mm or 14mm socket, on a positive note my allen keys are pretty rusty. -

Give it time mate, it's not like I'm talking it easy on it. Although at only 200kw 270nm it's not like it's making huge power. From talking to a few people alot of cars grenaded due to people not knowing how to tune them properly. Maybe if it was being tracked the additional heat and lots of high rpm the longevity could be counted in hours, but for a street car, at the current power level, the thing just loves a bit of sensible thrashing and catches alot of people of guard. My only oil control is a Forester heat exchanger I put on, typical to the RB one that everyone removes, I love it because it brings up the oil temp quicker from cold, and the quicker my oil hits 90°c the quicker I can give it some beans, and it also works well at stabilizing the oil temp during spirited driving. It has zero effect on my coolant temps, which basically stabilize around 90°c. I'm currently wondering if and when a 2nd generation 86 hits, there has been alot of talk but nothing solid. In other news: my stock clutch isn't liking its life and will need to be looked at shortly. Maybe > https://vsport.com.au/product/86-brz-exedy-clutch-replacement-kits/ -

Around the 6 to 8 week mark I take a week off, still do mobility stuff but no heavy or volume at all. At 54 I really need this time to rest my joints.

Age is a big part with overtraining. Plus whether you are doing heavy low rep stuff that smashes your CNS, or high volume stuff that doesn't really have alot of effect on the CNS. For emample, I use to do the 531 program, on Tuesdays it was heavy deads followed by 5 x 10 squats, then on Friday, heavy Squats followed by 5 x 10 of deads. https://blackironbeast.com/5/3/1/calculator In all my time training the strongest I got, with the lesst amount of injuries was with this. I didn't deload ad much as what the first edition required, I would deload every 2 months maybe???

That's my plan Unless the Minister of War and Finances wants to be a fun kill. If I get a free pass, or if she ends up with the shits because of the direction of the wind, I'll just head down myself. I have broached the subject and I keep bringing up appleturn overs and chocolate eclairs whenever I can, she seems keen now, later on????? Meh LOL It seems like everytime me and her go we end up bringing back cakes and pies for all of the outlaws, I do use this as leverage. Exact timings on arrival are fluid, getting her moving early on a Sunday can be problematic. I'll post up a pic when I'm there.
