I wonder who did those skids on the road.

Btw guys anyone able to help with this sealer issue and the throttle body?

I'm going to test out some gasket sealer on the weekend if no one tells me not to haha

[Manuel Kasko]

Just found the answer

Going to use some blue silastic

Back to the story.

After finishing up at nats and having a mad time things went back to normal.

Just the usual things started with the car.

Removed my turbo timer and came across this mess.

Not sure who the hell did this home job but it all got removed and fixed.

After a few spirited runs through the cotter I noticed that my intake gasket was shot.

So I ordered a new one online and did some research on how to change it.

At the same time I decided to get rid of the hicas and chuck a lock bar in it.

The intake gasket is a farking bitch to change! cut the fark out of my knuckles, lost a spanner (still haven't found it lol)

If you ever have to change one then make sure you have ratchet spanners because they are awesome!

hahaha that honestly is what he looks like

If Jesse was a whore

[Hanaldo]

Haha that wiring looks somewhat like mine used to. Feel sooo much better knowing it's all clean under there now!

[Manuel Kasko]

Yeah I checked yours out a few days ago Martin.

You seem to have done a pretty good job.

I had to pay someone to fix mine haha

[Hanaldo]

Well it only took me a week to do but Yeh, it's very tidy and works much better than it used too. Hopefully yours does too! Good job on pulling out the turbo timer too, I'm glad to be rid of mine. Should have listened to everyone that told me when I put it in, but I was all excited about having a turbo car

[Manuel Kasko]

Haha that's exactly what I was looking forward to when I purchased the car. Felt like a sick karnt walking away from the car while it idled for a while.

The novelty wore off within a few months and I couldn't turn the damn thing off otherwise the car wouldn't start. Home job wiring

[Hanaldo]

Yehhh, mine stopped working. Wouldn't keep the engine running, but kept the electrics on for 30 seconds. Means my oil pressure gauge would scream at me when I shut the engine down at the pressure dropped below 20psi So far no sign of my old starting issues either, so I'm hoping they were related to the turbo timer.

ANYWAY, got round to doing the throttle sealant yet?

[Manuel Kasko]

It's been one day dude haha

Throttle body sealant will be done this weekend I hope.

I'm going to use some glue that I have here and make sure it's a really fine film so that it breaks when I open the throttle.

I will report back how this goes.

The proper sealant can be purchased but its $80 for a small tin

Fark that

[Hanaldo]

Make sure that glue is oil resistant, you don't want blow-by breaking down the glue and having it fly into your motor Personally I'd fork out for the correct stuff, $80 is cheaper than causing other problems...

[Manuel Kasko]

Ahhh $80 for a little bottle I will use only once

Maybe I should stick with my gasket goop idea

[Got a Pulsar]

Surely someone will take it off your hands when you're done.

Group Buy on a Tin of Throttle Goo?

[Sinista32]

Communal goo? - sounds like soggy SAO game !

but Robs onto something. I think there would be a number of locals who might need/use

or perhaps a shop like Trojan might part with enough to help you out.

[B-rice]

Senora Kasko i think I would be interested in some too. will be changing my plenum soonish. how much did you get?
