Thats my birthday. Does that mean burgs are free?

Havent done too much to the wagon. Was using it as my daily for a while whilst the Mirage was WOF-less. This car is no longer a suitable daily driver with the cams that are in it. Makes for horrid peak hour driving.

Added a boost gauge to the dash. 

Was a bit surprised as I thought the wastegate had a 12psi spring. The gauge was bang on 10psi (probably +/- 2 psi accuracy)

Wanted to fit a boost gauge as I had a drag meet and wanted to raise the boost to around 14psi

Took the car to said drag meet. 

Track was slippery. Didnt set any ET records but did finally crack the ton. 102 MPH with a crap time. If I had traction I may have got a PB. Oh well.

And I made the wagon unofficially official 

It now has no WOF and the little shop I used to go to have got their act together. Which is good for me because it forces me to get this certified.

That is all

Clint, do you charge to inspect a certain part on a car before it goes thru the cert process? To see if all is ok or should be done another way?

Im unsure about the brake lines on my adjustable suspension

I agree with it being a "Dick move" but could it be a butt covering ploy over everything? Disabling the ability to modify the tune so if you were able to change the tune and get it horribly wrong to the point of destruction, you cant point the finger at the tuner?

I heard a while back that Tony Marsh would put a "warranty" on his engines that he built. If you touched anything on the motor the "warranty" is void. 

I did donuts inside the oriental markets building in my r32 once

Seemed to be the thing to do.

We did donuts in a Lancer Evolution I. 5 deep. Thing was a weapon.

Whats the date on this one? Sounds like a good idea

Cheers

Thats a very tidy Super Estate. Theres a guy on Faceballs (hes on here too) that is selling a set of brand new roof racks that they fitted to these Sigmas back in the 80s. You at least have to get those.

Now to tidy it up and drive it over the summer

^ Well that never happened......

After the drag day I drove the car to work, which is roughly a 50km journey. 6km into that journey my clutch pedal went straight to the floor and never came back which meant I had to turn the car off when I came to a complete stop and start off in 1st gear and shift without a clutch. This was extremely difficult with the usual shit traffic.

Finally made it to work and put the car up on axle stands. Found the issue was a broken clutch cable mount.

It stayed in this state for 3 months.......

I decided to do something about it and get it running again. If you watch the video in my last post you can hear my gearbox protesting between gear changes. It was so hard to get into gear.

With this in mind I decided to replace the clutch setup. The clutch setup was the same equipment that was on the original SOHC 4G63 when I got the car.

Had the flywheel machined

New clutch kit

Whilst the gearbox was out I decided to wire brush and paint it. Cos you know, painting something you never see is a good idea.

I also put a new rear seal in the box as it leaked quite bad.

Slapped it all together and the clutch still wasnt the best. Wasnt till I compared clutch cables with a few I had and noticed that there was a rubber spacer/grommet that had perished causing the pedal to run out of adjustment. Replaced the grommet with a good one and shes a runner!

Out of hibernation 

Theres still a few things to fix up. Tacho and check engine light dont work, no heater fan etc. Small stuff.

Will take it for a WOF and see if it passes with out a cert, but I think cert time is near.

Cant make this one. Have to be a parent apparently.

Kids.......Who'd have em

He has been done for dangerous driving causing injury before apparently

Thanks Ranter! that's really good information was wandering about the starter/flywheel offset differences, How would I go about correcting this?

By using a RWD 6 bolt flywheel from any 4G6* powered RWD vehicle

Ive used Buyee many times.
