one more early morning then i finally get a sleep in. 
 
gotta finish modifying my chimney so i can start lighting the fire... so bloody cold lately

Yeah I've got a old Jarrahdale wood fire too. I normally run a pedestal fan on it like a supercharger. Even when you close the valves it makes for a way better combustion chamber (hemispherical) and dissipates the heat round the whole house. The performance is amazing from a two valve heater. Surprised the cat hasn't caught on fire he's fully old and loves that sh#t.

ive got a double doored model in an enclosed brick chimney in the middle of the lounge room. ive put vents in at the ground and top to circulate over the fire and get the extra heat back that i lost last season up into the roof. last season we got none of the heat from the top or sides... it all escaped away.  ive already cut out the bricks, just need to finish the vents then plaster up.

well seeing as i have the house to myself im gonna go play guitar at 11 and wake up the neighbours

need to walk around the house doing figure 8's to sort it out

Normally just grab the towel rail for balance and start pivoting!

A dogs leg in the chimney is also a good fix and helps the chimney hold heat especially in a two story. I'm a sheety by trade and what you've done sounds awesome. Check out TheBlackNobility Charles hotel on you tube. Last gig I ever played. The guitarist was insane and teaches at cosmic.

You've inspired me to get back on the Roland and have a crack. Through the 901's and subs of course!

ive got fuel getting in the oil which is probably causing the leak. hopefully once i sort that out it wont bleed anymore

Cool like Kerry king from slayer. I've got a mega old pearl. DW pedals. Paiste 2002s and the old Frankenstein writing paiste sound formulas. The 2002s are the same as Bonham, moon and Ian paice from deep purple used to play. I've met Ian paice, Dave lombardo, zak Wilde, jojo Mayer, Dom famularo, Jimmy degrasso, sepultura, and what not I used to be pretty good and have a few signed drum heads at home.!!!

was so lucky to meet Jeff hanneman before he died. He was totally drunk. Haha. I met cyco myco from suicidal tendencies as well. Haven't played in anger for about 5 years mainly due to being old and the knees. can't be assed dragging the kit around anymore anyway. That's mainly why I wanted to join Sau. Missing playing in the bands and wanted to talk to like minded people about the car. I'm no mechanic but love nuts and bolts!

Hmm makes sense, that's what I was thinking too much extension and not enough compression in the shocks which would coincide with the longer travel and higher spring rate. When you gradually build up the boost and launch it sweet on the street is the only time you notice it. The old diff oil was clean as. I was also thinking due to getting cold between runs that it was at its minimum viscosity but the thinner the oil it should make its way into clutch packs better?

Winding the coilovers up wont change the spring rate, there fix at the manufacturers spec. Further travel is made harder by more fliud transfer, now u have more fluid either side of the piston its harder for the piston to move.

Made ur diff has seen better days? Our cars arnt exactly spring chickens. Years of abuse and the diffs is saying "no i dont want to" lol or on the other side of the scale mabe its not been used hard enough so wasnt quite working as it should? My mates vn ss had a issue with the diff, wouldnt put any power down just spun one wheel. Changed the oil and took it for a sqirt around the block trying to get the diff to work and all of sudden it just did, locked up and holy crap it hauled ass. Been fine ever since and leaves 11's if used in anger

The top drum head is a used one signed by Dave lombardo (slayer) The second I got signed from Ian paice (deep purple). The last one is from when sepultura toured in 99 the whole band. I scored the Ian paice for the father in-law and he had it hanging in the living room up till he died then was given back to me. Got another pair of sticks signed by will Calhoun (living colour)

Cool thanks for the advice. The rears were bald inside when I got it so no wonder it torched them both evenly. It performed well today on the street. The car is at 3000rpm at 110 in 5th which is pretty annoying so I would assume it has 4:1.1 never had any issues till I lifted I't and changed the tyres. By the way it behaves I'd assume it's a 1.5 way l.s.d. Alot of people reckon the Achilles atr sport 2 are slippery tyres so should spin both easily. I checked all the mounts and bushes when it was up on the hoist at my mates work about 3 months ago and they seemed all good? More crawling around on the back required! Should be easy to fit in around 11hr days at work. Building a silencer that has dual 6" inlets to a 10" outlet 30" diameter 96" long. Double laminate 3.2mm thick body. Back is sore, I am old. I did the diff oil ride height and tyres all at the same time so makes it a bit harder to trouble shoot when it was all good before?

Pffft, that is only big enough to be an exhaust tip.
