Thanks Aron. Had fun last night. Was better after we lost the other clown that was tagging along. Did they end up ringing. Also could you PM me the details of the place that did your door trims. Thanks mate.

LOL - Those guys were pissed off there faces, but they didn't end up calling back, thank god. About the trimmers, I can't find there business card I thought I had it here somewhere.

Anyhow, give 1223 a call (directory asst) and ask for Carmans Auto Trimmers they are in and around Moss St, I forget the name of it, but its got Right Price Exhaust at the corner.

All you have to do is book a time, and drop your car off there for the day and they'll be able to do the door tims and parcel shelf, think it was around $200.

yes was fun night I still am surprised about both of your seats they look so good.

I think most people would be, they turned around really well.

I didn't think we'd get so many people for only an hour notice, but hey it was an awesome night and was good to meet you all!

Another cruise, I was thinking about doing one for next month but we have the SAU Dyno Day and also I think IanB is going to organise a mountian run for next month.

Great cruise Aron :thanks:

Thanks for the company guys, was a top night :P

Thanks Karen! Was great having you there, have to agree, was a great bunch of people and company was good.

How about that dead guy at the servo? LOL

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
