  1. The best course of action would be to open up the three in the sump to around 4mm or so; then drill the final external (on the side of the block) to perhaps 0.5mm dia over whatever Grant specifies for the turbo feed. That way you'll always have more than enough supply; but the braided line isn't running full system pressure. Then your braided line isn't the "weakest link" in the system.
  2. Might be worth a thorough degrease if you haven't already done it; this will also help you trace a potential leak if the burning smell continues. Hopefully you've got it sorted.
  3. Awaiting disco ball and Autosalon stereo install. This will match your neon's nicely.
  4. Silver C34 driving past my work on Talavera Rd 30 seconds ago! I'd wave, but I'm inside a building.
  5. Bring it on Jono; looking forward to the result.
  6. Maybe hit up one of the Facebook Stagea pages; I bet something will turn up.
  7. Original rears may have failed, forcing their removal? Just start saving, and buy new when you can.
  8. Nice, what's the comfort level like over a stock perch?
  9. A little bit going on this week; had a new mirror painted to replace the damaged passenger side one (thanks Iain!); while I was at it also had my painter colour code the headlight eyebrows that I've had sitting in a drawer for almost a year now (thanks Mark!). I don't mind the look, but I'm going to wait until after my mate details the car before I decide whether they're going on. This should be happening within the next few weeks. Off to grab a new set of tyres later this week, and I'll finally be fitting my camber/toe bolts to minimise some of the rear tyre wear. Also about time I did a diff oil change; not that impressed with my last LSD oil choice; does anyone have a recommendation? I was either going to try the Nulon; http://www.nulon.com.au/products/Gear_and_Differential_Oils/Full_Synthetic_80W-140_Heavy_Duty_Limited_Slip_Differential_Oil/#.VAXOk_na7Lk Or Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W-140. Any other oils I should be looking at?
  10. What a bargain! Where from?
  11. It's loads of fun; being up close and seeing those guys run deep into turn 1 is pretty epic. The noise of the MotoGP bikes up close is indescribable; not like Top Fuel for example, but pretty awesome. As an event, I prefer WSBK; it's waaay more laidback, and bike riders get special treatment at the circuit (you can ride your bike around inside; even parking close to spectator areas) on Friday & Saturday; you can ride you bike right up to the fenceline. Whereas at MotoGP, you get treated like every other mutt, and have to park outside and walk around inside. Everything is much more serious, and geared to the corporate side. Obviously MotoGP draws a much bigger crowd over the weekend, so it would be more difficult logistically, but the vibe at WSBK is much nicer. Do yourself a favour & get down to Isola restaurant in Cowes if you can; all the Italian teams eat there, so you can potentially be rubbing shoulders with the riders. Fantastic food, great prices, top atmosphere, not pretentious at all. The wait staff weren't too shabby when we were there too... Get down there; you won't regret it. Wish I was going down, but I'll be there for WSBK next year.
  12. Most places will charge $500 and upwards to fit & set heights. This would also include a wheel alignment, and possibly corner weighting. The reason is; most places will have to do a bit of trial & error to get it right, so it will be up and down a few times once the shocks/springs are fitted to ensure everything is hunky dory.
  13. Tea tree oil works quite well on tape residue; as does "OFF" branded goo remover. Not harsh on paint; much less harsh than continued rubbing and scrubbing.
  14. I've rented houses, stayed in caravan parks, even flown down on the day & hired cars. If there's a few of you; renting a holiday house on the island can be pretty good value. Went down with 5 mates for WSBK; rented a 5 bedroom house for 5 days, cost us $250 each. Walking distance to Cowes, either a bus ride or a short ride to the circuit. Dependent on whether you plan to drink at the circuit. Look on Stayz.com or lastminute.com, they aren't hard to find. Obviously as the time approaches choices become more limited.
  15. +1 for BC BR.
  16. Wow, well if you can find a blown fuse in a Stagea; this should be a walk in the park...
  17. Because one isn't noisy enough!Coming along well! Any luck with the solenoids?
  18. Gotta let out dem braps! Cardboard diet for lightness at trackdays!
  19. If it worked before and doesn't now; and all you've done is the head unit upgrade; Chances are, that's where the problem lies. It could be as simple as a plug not seated properly.
  20. Good to hear; hope she's back on the road again soon.
  21. More than welcome mate. I reckon the frame mounting will be stiffer now, better feel.
  22. He sounds like a good lad.
  23. Lol not yet mate; but there's always room in the fridge.Seat back in yet?
  24. I just came for the free beer...
