If they're small, you might be able to polish them out, which souldn't cost too much. Might just have to take to a wheel place and get a few quotes.

Was that 160 standing still??? I did 120 standing still in my falcon... did a diff and stuffed 2nd gear at the same time!!!:eek: Bloody Fords!!

It depends on what sort of wheels you have, or your brother has..

I had a very deep scratch in one of my chrome wheels when I was hit by another car, and the tyre place said that it could not be fixed because it went right through to the copper, and that's what the chrome needs to hold it onto the wheel..

if it's just light it can be re-chromed, or if they're painted touched up or you may be able to polish it out..

A few weeks ago my car decided to have an argument with a gutter and lets just say the gutter won.

A chunk of alloy about 20cm long by about 6mm deep was taken out of the edge of the rim by the gutter.

Cost $44 dollars to have fixed

Steve at Eastern Wheel Works in Bayswater, Melbourne did the job.

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
