Thanks Stu .. as for it being "opened" we will never know

Mate she is retired from track duty, on the plus side I have been plotting and scheming and have a new plan for the track you will just have to keep a eye out in the next week or so

Cedric, the hose kit was one of the last from Poleposition, They Sponsored one of our drag days and I was fortunate enough to win them with some other stuff. I dont think they are around any more.

oh yeah need to see how big the spiders are that moved into my door and mirror jams

Pinky has pics

Well I'm well into round #2 of the saga now , took a weeks holiday to get on top of things only to have the Mrs. come down crook

however got her tucked into bed and of the the shed I went,(driveway actually ) It appears that I am not the only one who reckons AUs are a great place to be in

Made a fair start on it today, as for the "How To Guide" I would seriously forget about it unless your fairly competent with the spanners, as if its not done rite it could result in some serious damage

Heads going on

Push rod and lifter retainers back on

Port matched inlet Nice

Here"s a test for the older gang, who remembers the Bay City Rollers and who coined the Phrase Bay City Roller Rockers & why ?

Should be just about done by tomorrow night then

On the plus side 4 months of driving trucks and the Mrs. kia Rio even if it runs on 6 cylinders it will still feel quick

**auIILTD** · 13-09-2011, 05:35 PM

Nice work Whoosh. I was going to mention something about time, but thought better of it! Not long now.

Oi! you told me you had to have time off as the Hostesses in the Virgin lounges were tiring you out too much !!

b2tf · 13-09-2011, 08:35 PM

Good work whoosh, I tend to agree about the how to - whilst I would love to be able to do things like this (really want to put a cam in mine), my skills are just not good enough to do it without risking a lot of expense and damage.

Some things are best left to those 'in the know'.

**auIILTD** · 13-09-2011, 09:08 PM

Hi Whoosh. One question, may I ask what you used to clean up the head surfaces on the block in preparation for the new head gaskets and reconditioned heads? Have heard a few different theories.

Your dad and my dad must have had the same teacher

B2tf..with my 220 I carnt see the cost or power benefit of going with another cam, while I love the lumpy idle, I still only run the Unichip so get full advantage from it I would need a Xcal box and a descent AU tuner, that would blow another Grand on the the cost and I doubt I would get that much advantage time wise from it, looking through the list of times an mods around maybe 2 to3 /10ths on a good day.

Keep your eyes of me spare motor I have acquired

and it has Crane rollers in it

Mean while back in the drive way.
Oiled and nearly done

And a bit of Bling

I have decide to do the whole lot while I have the chance so it will take a few more days including the front bar off to the replace the head light

Day-mow · 14-09-2011, 10:11 PM

the blue piping looks alright. although it does add an element of rice to it.

Opened and riced talk about a down hill spiral

must be male menopause or some thing

Actually I have had the car since new and it has done 100000 ks now, and checking all the hoses ex.t they'er showing signs of fatigue and as I had the BLU stuff sitting there (FREE

) I thought it would be a good chance to change it all over (easy with half the motor out of the road) Once the engine cover is back on it should hide most of it
anyway back to it

Mr Hardware · 15-09-2011, 02:08 PM

Yeah kays don't really phase AU's much, it's the fact they're a decade old that kills em.

What are you on about

**Whoosha** · 15-09-2011, 08:21 PM

Gees What idiot decided that taking the front bar off to change a headlight was a good idea ? and dont get me started on the poxy clips that hold the light in place

anyway got it sorted and had a visit from Dr, bling .

decisions , decisions

they way this is going

I may have to move it to a build thread if I pull much more stuff apart
