Just out of interest, following the train of thought for setting up a light as an overboost warning, could you do the same for say oil temp? Set it up so that if oil temp goes over a certain amount it triggers a light to let you know?

I did get berated for looking at running a boost gauge in my car, but if I can run standard (i.e no gauges) in my turbo, and not have to worry about a single thing thats what I'll aim for.

Car will be tracked a few times a year too so probably more for those times I can say "oh shit, somethings not right" before blowing something up or melting it.

Easy enough to do with an op amp if you're into soldering little things together, or you could buy one like this

I was concerned about my flatulence so I purchased a device to stop me having too much PSI in my butt

-10 man points for ever being concerned about flatulence, ever.

New extractors.....which don't freaking fit! Can anyone tell me what the standard distance is between the 2 bolts that hold the headers and mid-pipe together?

New wheels (need repairs, anyone have any recommendations?)
New mirrors, Runabout goodness.

Are those the maxim works headers that were on trademe a few weeks back for $200? very nice score if so, don't think the seller knew what they were or what they were worth!

Oh yeah - a civic radiator, and a Koyo Mx5 radiator.

Running the Koyo until after the track day.

Removed alarm, still have some grounding issues which should be sorted tonight.

Figured you must be sick of removing shit by now.

And now that someone's taking your money.. hopefully your progress will slow. And with that... my envy that you are actually making progress (knowing full well that removing shit costs nothing).

Haha!

It's hard to keep going, I'll tell you that much!

Well, I am almost done. Cage on Monday, then down to Jarred on Saturday, then track day on Sunday and DONE.

Can you recommend any wheel polish brands?

Might try mount some tyres on them at some point and do a test fit.

SLYDIT · Post by **SLYDIT** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 1:44 pm

i would hit them with some 1200 then 2000 wet and dry first , then have a go with some autosol. if you just try the autosol first your gonna use a crap load.

I would follow SLYDIT's advice and use 1200 then 2000 wet n dry first to remove the scale and oxidization and then use some of this (cost $10 from bunnings and does as good of a job as metal polishers like brasso which are 3-4x the price) to make it easier to find the container is 70mm across and 60mm deep

Autosol is cheap and Amazing.

Hurry up and make New pictures

That second set of alloys is very very Ye olde Skool cool ....
Star Wars even springs to mind for some reason
Details ? brand ? size ? Price to import if you dont mind?

Gold ones are Work Equip 03 in 14x6 +12 offset
Silver/black ones are Hayashi Street's in 14x6 +20 offset.

Couldnt find any in 4x100 so these are both 4x114.3 and i have bought 25mm adapters for them.

Might have to get some autosol tomorrow and start on the hayashis.
Hand mounted a tyre to one of the equips so will chuck it on tomorrow for a test fit
