Hi Guys. Ive got a s13 thats going to my weekend car. Mainly used for motorkhanas, hill climbs and a bit of track work. What size semi slicks should i use. Theres a nice deal on kumhos on another popular import site. Ive got about 140rwkw, tein flex suspension, s14 brakes, and its lightly stripped. Ive currently got 17X8 and 17X9 wheels so im thinking 225/40 and 255/40, but is this a bit excessive for my power levels. Should i buy some 32gtr wheels and run 225/40s all round

well there's not such thing really as too much grip for circuit or hill climbs. khana is a bit different though as you may have trouble sliding the car around cones etc with 255 semis and 140rwkw. the idea of some 225 or 235 16s on the 16X8 32 GTR rims is not a bad idea. tyres will be cheaper, should still give you good grip, and you'll be able to rotate them front to rear to extend their life a bit. and 32 GTR rims are nice and strong and not too expensive either.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
