What gym do you go to?

my friends dad when he was 25yrs old had trans-am and ford GT but sold them off. My friend is pissed off at his dad cause they would have been worth a mint now. He sold the ford gt for like $4k lol. You'll be lucky to find one under 100k now haha

my dad used to be into cars ,when he was young he had a hq and put a 327 chev in (i think it was 327 cant remember) but when they fitted the motor the bonnet wouldnt close lol, also it was a straight through exhaust, mum used to live right down the end of the street and she could hear it every morning. and when they were going out when she herd it start it meant she had a few more minutes to get ready before he got there to pick her up lol.

i have tried but to no avail. my uncle is still into cars and bikes, he is doing up an old harley at the moment.

thought you were going all out on it? ;)

what made u sell it

found someone stupid enough to offer me more than it was worth. took the profit and bought a VW Golf. Instant free car. :happy:

ah yeh aint been down to hoppers the point cook one is fkn awesome u been? all new equiptment and heaps of potential wandering around.. so yeh i dont do much working out hahah

Nah never been...

I'm usually at gym during the day, so there's never any talent which kinda suits me...stay focused on what I'm there for.

Might be doing a PT course soon, and I'd go for a job at Hoppers and Point cook...Hoppers is always hiring PT's so wouldn't be too hard to get in there, but Point Cook probably has more potential clients...Hoppers is about 1 minute from my joint though so that's a plus..

i know the general manager of point cook and the PT training manager so lemme know i can talk to them for ya if u want?..

point cook has about 4000 members prolly more oppertunity and talent for sure.. chicks have teeth in point cook :happy:

lol there's talent at hoppers but its all there at night when I don't like training because there's too many f**kin people.

Pt cook would be better coz its newer, better equipment and a growing community so more new members, although hoppers do sign up a lot of people still...

Still haven't decided if it's what I wanna do, but I'll let you know if it ever comes to that. (won't be for at least 4 months obviously..)

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
