Boosty, did you end up getting that pintara lookin thing with the ca in it.?

Yeah if you wouldn't mind, tell him to stuff it up real good. I'd hate to have the car back on the road after only 2 weeks and missing one cruise... Adam takin the head in to get looked at.?

haha i see your in a shit stirrin mood today Paul, nothin changes huh.? it's all bolted up perfect except the w-gate actuator mount that grant is makin up on tues. Runnin nicely and doesn't leak, who would of thought... but i'm also getting him to fabricate an alloy intake pipe 80mm, doesn't need it, but it will be better than what i've got so far. Mornin Niz.. I'm missing the connection with Fergie, did you used to be a porker.? i don't believe it..

By the way Paul, nice pic. I escpecially like your sleepy drool dripping down on macks couch cushions. Now that pic's gonna bring in the ladies.. :drooling:

this "Speed, and your as good as dead" crap gives me the shits. It's just the only way they know of lookin like they're doin something to try to prevent road fatalities.. but doind 70k's over the limit, that's just askin for trouble, and making them come down harder on everyone who does a little too much.

new PFC...? crikey, i think i'm about the only one left with standard management.

Good to hear, be interesting to see what you down across the 1/4. Paul told me about the rear screen. SPEWIN. Did you tell him it was his fault seeing as you only parked the R in the sun because his was under cover...

Micko... hows the R going now..? got things sorted out properly.?

sorry troy.. g'd night to you to.

nah it probably wont be done in time, i might have it fitted, but untill i get it dyno'd i wouldn't be comfortable givin it a thrash. well i'm off to get some shut eye, catch ya later.

the new turbo bolts up perfectly except at the compressor intake and compressor output. I have to make custom mounts for those and grind a little out of the left engine mount. it a couple of "slack" days worth of work. Yeah thats what i was thinking, we'll take it all apart, get someone to fix the valve, put it all back togther and get someone like Ray to dial in the cams, and give him a carton or two for his help.

Bugger.. i doubt i'll have my car back together in time anyway, might just have to sit it out. Yeah Adam's has got hyd/lifters.. we'll just need someone who can dial in the cams right, but the more hands the better.. that way we've got more people to share the blame when the next problem happens.

Do you think it will be worth racing..? wont there be every barstad and his dog down there expecting 15 runs.? I might just sit in the stand and drink a few beers while trying to look pretty... maybe Niz can gimme a hand.

nah i reckon we can pull it off easy enough... i think Adam doesn't trust us though, he still thinks we dropped a nut in his intake. but i'll need someone to help me put the head back on, cause i'm no good at setting up cams properly. I've only done it on little ford 1.5 SOHC's before.

Good luck with the pineapples, lemme know how it handles after you put them in. I'm still unsure if it was worth all the hassle.

i wondered why we were short a 12mm lock nut.... damm lucky it's not my car

Cheer up mate We'll all go down as spectators by the look of it... Shan may be going by then tho.. (mac)

Yeah u wanna eleviate on that (mac) anyone seen my 14 openender?

Hey steady on Joe only has one arse.hehhe me and mac may need a lift too... Or if shans car is ready (mac speaking) I can tag along with him if im nice to him

Why dont we organise a cruise before we start a thread :shake:

your just an an lucky barstad. there's no connection.. :-)

you've got a point there.. bugger.

Be afraid Paul.. I just picked up my new turbo..

greetings peoples.. is it just me, or does no one else understand the above message.? maybe it's cause i have'nt had a beer yet..

Paul, an oil and filter change should only take you 30-40 mins if that..
