Already smashed my front bar on gutters and other miscellaneous objects. I don't know how people shred around with slammed rides

You need to learn how to use angles

Car is really clean!

Your ride finished yet? I visit my cousin who lives in Somerville/ Langwarrin South quite regularly. Will be keeping my eyes peeled for someone doing 4 wheel peel outs from every corner lol

My front sits that high too and it scrapes on everything.
Coilovers are in the works though ... and an Ultrex lip

Haha my Ultrex lip is like 1-2 inchs off the ground and I have no issues overall, I go on two wheels when I go angled driving into the petrol station

Hahah, that statement was differently meant for you amongst others! Serously though, I don't know how you do it.

I know! Mate has installed a security camera in hopes we can catch the culprits!

Haha, well considering how expensive those ultrex lips are, I would be crab walking the car all over the joint lol

aaaaand where were you on Wednesday night? hmmmmmmm!!!!

Ahh I know! I just completely forgot all about it Might try and organise a meet for a fri/sat night a month or so in advance so we can get a few people out?

Fark Yeah

Not a big update.. Put the OEM Equal Length headers back on today after getting a second hand centre pipe from Vice (Thanks mate) and i must say, wow! What a massive difference. The drivavability has been improved tremendously. So for any N/A boys out there trying to get that 'Boxer rumble', i suggested trying some eBay spec/ Borla replicase. I do miss the sound, but probobly won't be changing back to the UEL's until i get some decent ones.

[vicelore]

Glad to help dude

[U-Shell]

No real updates as of late. Just gave the car a good service yesterday which consited of upper engine cleaner, oil flush and oil & fIlter change. I have a leak somewhere in the cooling system becuase no matter how much a bleed it, there always seems to be a waterfall behind my dash after a couple days

Also just wondering if anyone else gets some blow by like this:



Faulty PCV valve?

[Beckers]

Hey C man,

I think that is normal, most engines do it,

It's not blow by, just the pumping effect of the engine internals moving.

 

Glad to see you got the check list done.

Thanks

[U-Shell]

Yeah I gathered the boxer design would be more prone to it been flat and all. I'll show you Wednesday night. Only raised some concern as I don't remember it been that bad when I first got it.

Have you got any pics of the new dash garnish in?

[Beckers]

Have you got any pics of the new dash garnish in?

I saw the new dash trims over the weekend, they look really good.
They are a crazy color.

Thanks Simon, sooo much better than the 'wood grain'!

Have you got any pics of the new dash garnish in?

I don't have any pics yet! I'll have to take some now that I've given the inside a clean up after th weekend. It all fits except for the gaping hole where the manual gear boot doesn't want to sit up against the auto surrond Going to order an alcantara boot and gear knob like Mosti's, then just hot glue the boot the the underside of the surround

That blow by is completely normal.

When you start seeing smoke with the engine running, You have a problem.

Put some load on the engine and it will turn into vacuum.

If it doesn't do that. You have a problem.

Cheers Cam. Turned into vacuum when revs increased
 
 
Think I have found the source of my power steering air leak. Put the car up on stands last weekend to do a general check over and found that the passenger side oil line had a pretty bad leak from the flange nut... Cracked her open and gave it a clean, tightened back up, bled system and I haven't had any shuddering since!
 
Also managed to sort out the waterfall behind my dash. Turns out the rubber line that goes from the radiator cap to the overflow bottle wasn't sealing properly so air was getting sucked in. Put a hose clamp on it, bled the cooling system (takes so damn long!) and now I have no more waterfalls. So double win for the weekend Only downside been I have a split steering rack boot but couldn't be changing it. Might get onto it tomorrow

Just got 527.3 K's to a tank!! Wohoo! Best i have ever gotten from her
