Tried to do me for things that werent RWC items like a "soft" upper radiator hose. Rear pads were 2mm and legal limit is 1.5mm and I called him out on that and he got all defensive that oh well if you want to save $350 then we dont have to do it, then turned around and told me I should anyway. Front tyres are Retreads (dont laugh, they came with the car) and the mechanic thought that meant they were damaged on the sidewalls, even though its just the cap glued on. Also tried to find the slightest imperfection in every bush so is trying to sting me for most of them in the rear and a couple in the front. All up about $1000 if I don't do the brakes.

All for the VL?

Daf*k

Indeed, I was going in expecting like $500 bucks. Silly me going to a jap RWC place for an aussie car... I'm dropping it off at the old mechanics tonight, he laughed at the brake and bushes comment so I should be alright, just means I wasted $165 on an inspection.

Lol they're distantly related to My cousin or someshit. I don't know.

LOL!

Just take it to Racepace.

:rofl:

Took a VLT to a Jap place for RWC.

Have been considering that Adam. I pulled it apart lol, how hard can it be?

Andrew. Whole cars in bits ATM lol

Can demolish a house faster than you can build it :thumbsup:

It's not difficult, just daunting. Probably not a good idea to attempt it if you're planning on using expensive high performance parts and you've much more to lose than just your pride if it doesn't work.

Woot Footy's back!

Anyone here play supercoach? :ph34r:

Since when did it go away, As far as I'm aware it plays for like 10 months of the year which is a pretty f*kn long winter for a winter sport.

i haaaate changing spark plugs on the rb25..

pffft. golf's easy as. is it cos you is armature?

i never said it was impossible... just pointlessly annoying.... the plenum setup makes the RB plenum setup look logical

also i'm talking about the 1.8 whereas you had the 2.0... not sure if there is a difference.

    • 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:
