Ham, remove the whole system?

thinking about it.... but see below post

that's cuz you're hardcore.

hardcore/cheap/lazy

That is what stopped me from buying MA61 and MA70 Supra back then, read too many stories about them blowing h/gasket.

Okay just messaged my mate and he said, what you said is true.

But you just need to get the head resurfaced and possibly block, run a cosmetic steal head gasket and some arp head studs, and then it should hold well after that

[blah_blah]

Now that is sorted.

kgo.

[xALmoN]

easy maybe, but is it a cheap fix?

[emts]

Doesn't have to be a formal rwc though. A letter from the club secretary suffices.

true but then the club is vouching for your car being RWC and liable for it...

so most clubs require RWC anyhow

[blah_blah]

easy maybe, but is it a cheap fix?

If your serious, you want me to get an approx cost?

Ah fair enough.

Excellent, I know something about 'yotas....

Now that is sorted.

Need Panasports and it'll be fap-worthy.

yeah. please do. so i know if i do get one. how much i'm up for.

doing research before another potentially stupid purchase...

SAU is not a vicroads authorized club for club permit scheme,

and I cannot see this changing as there is not much need considering most ppl's cars here are not more than 25 years old.

I don't think you'd ever want most people cars on club reg, too much headache.

Given its two years til r32s become eligible, now is probably a good time for SAU to sign up with only a handful of people wanting club reg, easier for the club to come up to speed with all the requirements.

I'd be worried if the gasket was cosmetic

Grant/Leigh - thanks

Fun riding a bike? First time?

Yea first time. They made me start on a scooter which was a waste of time but good fun. Then got me a bike, was trickier than I thought, stalled it couple times but got the hang of it by the time they started testing. Definately going for 1.5 hour courses to practise gear changing before I go out on the road.

yeah. please do. so i know if i do get one. how much i'm up for.

Normally your looking at about $2k-2.5K parts and labour including cleaning, checking and resurfacing of the head.

Though I'm sure you have chit chat with him and talk specifics I'm sure you'd be able to make a deal with him ~$1.5K for the job.

I'd be worried if the gasket was cosmetic

My bad... though..could go Cosmetic as they say Maybelline because you're worth it

Hahaha scooters are underrated. Good idea on the practice sessions, better to get these things downpat, one less thing to worry about when you get out on the road with cars. Everything becomes second nature very quickly.

[R-SPEC]

Haha I kept trying to lean and get my knee down round the cones with the scooter and copped a lecture from the instructors. Good blokes though

[Birds]

Hahahaha...they had balls telling you off. I remember leaning was the best fun when I first hopped on a bike.
