With the original setup of my RS, I had oil dripping out of my cooler

[skillionaire]

Oil struts or gas struts? What's the preference? Non performance, purely to drop a car lower.

maybe I should be putting a hole in the bottom of my cooler at the front tank?

I don't know if heat soak was the problem, but boost issues cleared after a few ks on the highway! but seemed to linger longer than normal!


Caint help yo nik!

On the cheap though, without caring for performance, most OEM struts coupled with lowering springs will be fine, yes? And safe?

Excuse the OzLib style questions.

This is for a Yota by the way. Lexus actually.

@Adam: Found the slow roast rib eye tagliatelle;

Beef cheeks are for peasants.

@Adam: Pretty much, it was 'pulled' - I cooked that for hours, and then made a stock reduction from the crock pot, then 'distilled' it down to that format. It was basically the best thing I've ever made.

Afternoon gents,

Just got back from rally car driving out at Colo Heights near Windsor.

Drove a bug eye, and a GC8 2 door. Also drove a 1UZFE powered baja buggy. That was cool. Very rear heavy but.

I was kinda disappointed, as the instructor didn't really let me open it up, lots of short shifting. Was pretty fun though. I have GoPro footage and some other footage I'll chuck up eventually.

[skillionaire]

I will look forward to not caring.

Found the same, Shaz. I did the Colo rally experience late last year. Enjoyed myself but no real opportunity to kick it up the pants.

Hahaha for a minute there I thought you wanted the OBK lower Nik.

OEM struts with lowered springs is fine if you don't want any decent life out of the struts. Lowered springs kill stock struts fairly quickly in my experience.

Paint work on the Barina is already dulling back. I'll run over it with some paint nourisher and put some oils back into it, the smash a couple of layers of sealant on it. Should keep it happy for a while.
Oil is dripping off the bottom of the sump. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot around the head, so I'm thinking sump gasket? Anything else down that way that might be the cause of an oil leak?

Morgan, they probably don't let you open it up because you are not experienced rally drivers. Lol.

Still shit but. They hardly let you drive on boost. No ebraking either.
