Got damn right I'll be thurr

Do you have a power figure in mind of what you'd like it to do or just a boost level you want to run and whatever it makes it makes?

That's pretty shit. No claim on person/company who gave wrong details or just a faux paux that you have to life with? Was looking forward to this laying down 400+ killer wasps

You had me at two good fun female flatmates.

Don't think I'm travelling this week so will come on down

Whoops I was going to book accommodation for this. Better get onto that.

Tell me more about the RT40 becoming my possession....

Fuck, shit's so cash. Giz a doort

Nevermind, I only had saturday and sunday, check in Friday brings up way more places, assuming its 2 night minimum I guess.

Tickets booked. Looked on bookabach and can only see one place available in cooks beach and POA means I'm not sure I even want to ask the price: https://www.bookabach.co.nz/baches-and-holiday-homes/view/3616

Do people just roll general admission tickets or is there a need for VIP? Whats parking security like at the event?

Lame update time... Started off with trying to put the w55 tail section onto the w58 box. That didn't work because the shifter didn't line up in the hole and the bearings were wrong (not that big a deal but the aforementioned problem was the main one). So I put the 58 tail section back onto the w58 box and thought I could put the w55 selector shaft into the w58, nope has a way fatter bottom section which grabs the forks so wouldn't fit into the 58 as you can see below: So spoke to Brendon at Convert who had only had it once before, and easiest way is to drill and tap the w58 selector lower down at the same height as the w55 (thanks to Chris/EURON8 & Strange's drillpress) then put the w55 selector bush onto the shaft and mash it all back together. So the mishmash gearbox ended up looking like this: As before, both plates of the twinplate were fucked, also had to buy a new floater plate, fingers for the pressure plate and the flywheel got a skim. Also discovered when I sent the stuff back to MRP for skim and parts that it had an 800hp spring in the pressure plate. This has been replaced with something more in my realm of power now so it shouldn't be a leg press to use the clutch now... Nearly all back together now, gearbox in, driveshaft etc etc. Changed out all the fluids again and also changed rear main, rear gearbox and diff snout seals while it was all apart. Need to fap around with the slave cylinder as it has been mounted at a strange angle both vertically and horizontally and not pushing straight on the fork. Got sidetracked today and my need to bling things took over so gave things a bit of a polish up to look fresh again Thats all for now, might get to drive it again this week!

Colour me bloody keen for this. Giz a bunk/room someone?

Was the whirly bird take off at/down the road from Jacks Point?

Yep, hope to be driveable this weekend!

This thing has shit paint. I know cause I touched it and stuff. Do a cunt ya skid.

If I can get the required parts from suppliers and a good few days at the KE20 to put it all back together I'll doort along to this.

Result of the above: One mangled clutch plate. Sending the flywheel and intermediate plates off today for skimming and ordered the new clutch plates and pressure plate. It's done pretty well to survive this long, I didn't realise the clutch came from the 0GRIP 330+kw AE92 Superlap car before it went into the KE20 so this twinplate setup has been in use for blardy ages.

Fuck this is going to be lols powerful when it's finished.

More common in Evo's etc launching but does happen more than you think with twin plate clutches, obviously a lot more bite so the friction material might have been stronger than the spline internal, coupled with some sort of shock on it (in speaking to the supplier not rev matching on downshift with twinplates can sometimes cause this too).

Carrying on from the above, tune was unlocked through...methods... I bought a W58 getting ready to replace the W55 and glass bead blasted it while I was at a customers servicing the room Drove it to work one day about a month ago and got nearly all the way home. Stopped on the motorway offramp and couldn't get back into gear. Managed to smash into second so drove it home like that and parked it up to get the box out. Clutch slave body and pin had seen better days Then took all the bellhousing bolts off and found no matter what levering I did I couldn't get it to pop off and it seemed to always spring back into place which indicated something was catching the pressure plate. Had Chris/EURON8 around again tonight and decided to holesaw the bellhousing to be able to undo the pressure plate bolts. Got that off and suddenly the box popped off without even levering and found the clutch plates looking like so... This disc was free but had pretty fucked splines This disc however has twisted and locked onto the input shaft. Even some hefty hammering hasn't freed it to allow the pressure plate and this disc to come off. Both clutch discs have cracks and the plates inbetween have some pretty good gouges so need discs and plates at a minimum. Hopefully the flywheel section and pressure plate are salvageable. So likely a bit more money to be spent to get it mobile again! Did buy this lush gearknob in the interim from http://www.nostalgic-grains.com/ Laser engraved Rosewood

Whats meet

Picture of you rolling in hunnidz please
