Will do Martin!

You're in Yarraville if I remember correctly?

Why you party poop and no deca?

Tried a water bottle cap and it's just a bit small, milk cap seems too big. :-/

Newport so close enough.

no seat in car so no racing, parts just not coming in in time.

still coming up, just not driving anymore.

I might have a set of S-chasis rails in my garage...

Swear i've seen the original image on here before but this popped up on my newsfeed....dem photoshop skills.

Yeah that's my picture

Must like taking pics off my FB page. I think Steve runs the FB page, his a nice guy though

Bit of a gay photoshop to be honest

[r34abz]

Agreed. 'Tis an epic pic tho! But yeah the wheels look pretty clean so ghey photoshop.

[CrispyFries]

There was a version on instagram last week that I saw, less of a dodgy shop I believe

Sexted ya.

[Odium]

Bah, my image was off an angle grinder... for the chopped springs yo.

Must have hotlink protection on that image to prevent direct access...

So driving to work this morning for the first time since working on the car all long weekend.... Of course, popped a cooler pipe.

Turbo -> Intercooler... the one underneath everything... had to remove the airbok etc etc etc and get dirty in my work clothes
Luckily I stand by carrying all my tools with me for a few days after any mods, just in case

Billowing black smoke and strugging to keep idle without revving, turned into a servo after stalling twice.

Happy Hump Day :| 30 minutes late to work on the week where I'm only working for 16 hours, and I need to take some time off on Thursday afternoon so I can get a taxi to go and pick it up from the retune before driving straight to Shepp so I can do Winton on Friday.

If only you went MAP sensor like all the cool kids. You could have driven to work with no boost like a boss.

Nah, they're f**ked. You saw it.

Wait til coilovers.

On the plus side scotty... I hit a little bit of boost just fine the other afternoon... but as soon as rpm and boost went up... it all went to crap and I'm assuming it leaned out (didn't pop a hose, but it blew dark grey smoke and lost power for the 0.5 seconds it was happening)

Retune is booked for tomorrow, and it drives around fine off boost.

Your pipe certainly sounds different to stock when the BOV air enters it... when I let off the gas (from about 2psi) it does its normal shhhhh and then about half a second later (when the air gets back to the intake pipe?) it goes kerchewww. Can't wait to hear it at full song

Hopefully no dramas on the Dyno, since I'm leaving for Shepp Thursday evening

Ooooo also, New Koyorad and Nismo Thermostat and 1.3Bar Cap = 67c driving temp, 69c max temp over an hour of driving, comes up to temp fast, and stays there rock solid. But yeah, haven't boosted yet.

Also haven't gotten the temperatures high enough for the new Tomei oil cooler w/ thermostat to open up yet.

Who would stock an adaptor which would screw into a hole which is 18mm/1.5mm thread and be able to accept a smaller sensor... unsure of the actual size... about 12mm across perhaps? Will get exact measurements at lunch time. What kind of shops stock fitting like that?

[Count Grantleyish]

SIMON why didn't you change the clamps to constant tension ones?

[Miguelone]

SIMON prefers to run 17 year old factory clamps that all twist off to the side when they're tightened.

[Count Grantleyish]

SIMON, you should've replaced the clamps while it's all apart.

One of these days you'll break a clamp in middle of nowhere, like it did for me one time.

[Sunkist]

SIMON can't reach the clamp
