I've done a NA run home from winton. not fun ey. even on the hume I struggled to hold 110 up the gradual hills. Good work. Get it fixed for deca!

How did you go anyway?

what is it with you and breaking things

he he he

seems like its true from that photo,

tape does fix everything

lol ya, they had to make the afm that much bigger than all the other pipeing on the damn car.

so had to fit one of the right angle joins into the afm and tape it up.

ya talk about a loss in power. ive done a no turbo run twice coming back now. last time was the turbo to mani gasket. so pretty familiar with

it. but yeh, no power, drop down to 100 couple of times along the way.

the worse bit is once you get off the hume and go into stop start....omg soooooo slow.

oh you seriously miss the sound of the turbo as well.

Awesome I made it in! Is it alright if I can pay on the day, or would you guys prefer me to deposit it into your account over the next week?

Just saw this - if you havent already deposited the $$, please just pay me on the day.

Its too much mucking around to get the bank account checked this late in the game, so cash on the morning is much easier :P

Too easy, I'll see you in the morning with the cash!

Gonna be a slow morning, finish work 5 hours before I'm meant to be in Shep!

so shorts and tee/polos ok for the day??? or still need to be fully covered?

Good question. In the supp regs it states that competitors must have non flammable clothing + helmet + closed toe shoes. For passengers it requires ankles to neck to wrists covered and closed toe leather shoes.

Until advised otherwise I'm packing both a tshirt/shorts+sunscreen option and a jeans/longsleeve t option :)

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
