I remember years ago standing in Chapel St, overhearing some wogboy talk about his VL turbo...no shit, I heard the words "stage 4 blow off valve" come out of his mouth

Yo, where my Jerrycans at?

I got home with the fuel guage sitting right on E, and 1/2 a jerry in reserve. Perfect.

I'm still not sure how I'm going to get them back to you.

We filled my car Friday night and it got home on just over half a tank so pretty happy with that.

whos doing wtac this year?

Me, attending not racing.

Does it make the noise in all except 4th or in all gears?

With the clutch in / clutch out?

Can't remember to be honest, pretty sure it's all gears.

Clutch out.

Damn, I think I went through about 45L getting home :/ Cruising off boost (but I guess the intake leak would have made it richer than normal)... However, it used over 40L for 240km on the way up as well.

40 / 2.4 = 16.6L/100k (mostly off boost, but a few little squirts)

No rush on the Jerries, won't need them all for a while (until the next long distance track).

Where do you live again? I'm in Vermont, work in Cheltenham

Mine wasn't too much different then, probably around 40L for 220km.

I'm on the other side, Altona Meadows/Maidstone so not a quick trip.

I'll organise to get them to you at the next meet hopefully or sort something else out.

Clutch out.

If all gears and does it when sitting there in neutral with the clutch out, could be input shaft / throw out bearing or yes, spigot.

If it does it in neutral, find out if the sound changes (louder, higher pitch) as you rev the engine...if so, then it's most likely the above. If it doesn't do it in neutral and the sound doesn't change with engine rpm then it will be output shaft or a diff.

    • I spent the entire of the long weekend going through my garage and I'm now, after 3.5yrs in this house, able to fit a car in. The garage is quite long and the back half has a high enough ceiling for a 2 post lift but it's going to just take too much space and I don't think I'd be able to get around the car if it was in the air. So, in comes the quick lift. It looks perfect. High enough to do most things, I reckon even getting a gearbox out would be doable.  Does anybody here have one? They're fairly cheap (~$3k) considering...  https://www.dtmtrading.com.au/product/quick-lift-portable-vehicle-hoist-3500-kg-worksafe-approved/ I'm also a bit of a non risk taker so I'd probably still use stands when under!  
    • Well now we all see it! I did the same. Then cut it out. Then melted half of it. Then discarded it entirely. So... you're in good company.
    • I just replaced the god awful, sagging, crunchy bonnet insulation. It's something nobody but I see but it's been at me for a while.
    • yeah the south island is stunning, the wifes family is from the west coast down there so we were down there for christmas.   a high 10 would be a stretch but hilarious if it happened. fourth gear is its party gear, i don't have traction to throw more at it at lower speeds. I've found passengers don't think its that fast, i think it's because it has a digital dash so they can't see the needle move so they have no sense of speed
    • You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???
