Dell'orto Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Have you taken the cam cover off to see if it looks like it's been reground? More importantly, have you performed a stationary full load cooling system test yet???? 3 Quote

Nope and nope lol I could take the cam cover off but I don't have a new gasket to put back on it at the moment.. and chances are the gasket will disintegrate when I remove it Quote
Dell'orto Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 RTV is your friend there....though I'm guessing all the L series use the same gasket anyway, so oughtnt be a major to get. Quote
kicker Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Have seen some on TM for $12, standard gasket paper type not the rubber kind Quote
mlracing.co.nz Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Yeah not hard to come buy, just don't have one, it's on the list though because now I'm curious about that cam Quote
flyingbrick Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Love this car. Cool that the brakes were suuch an easy upgrade! wish everything in life was that easy, lol. How did you trim the shield? (did you use your damn teeth?! :-D) 1 Quote

How did you trim the shield? (did you use your damn teeth?! :-D) Yeah it worked out well, but the brake line is not the same which is annoying but chances are someone will make one that suits. Car like this has a big following now so it's actually pretty easy to find most bits and info. lol used combo of tin snips and bolt cutters hahah Quote

Dell'orto Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Yeah I need to send my invoice in for those brakes...spent ages trying to clean up the old flare nuts. Previous owner-san must have been built like a brick shithouse. Quote

It's an issue with the forum and pics hosted on iforce. can click on the grey lines and the pics should open Quote
enzee Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 It doesnt seem to link to pics when clicking on grey lines, just highlights to quote the section Quote
Bling Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 I get the same thing, happens in Chrome for me, but not in "Edge" browser. Only ran Edge to test it and they loaded instantly. Car is looking good! Seems pretty solid really? Sills go on everything but most of it looks not bad at all. Do you have a rough time frame for how long the rust repairs will take? The repairs look niiiiice. Quote
mlracing.co.nz Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Yeah seems weird, same image links working on other forums so not sure 6 minutes ago, Bling said: Car is looking good!

Hmm probably be a while because we have to do the repair cert stuff and that can't be done until next year. They're doing the repairs but not fully welding it all back in until signed off so the sills are just bolted on now so they can work shapes into other stuff around it where necessary. But yeah, overall not as bad as I was expecting. 1 Quote
