Thanks fella's.

Cars been going really good, even in the boiling hot weather it will still cruise along at 100km/h without any problems. But it will ping when boosted in 3rd & up.

Solution = don't boost it when hot! Just cruise!

I've also covered 10K in it since fitting the turbo kit & its only broken 2 exhaust mounts which isn't too bad I reckon on a stock engine & has also wrecked the diff bearings & an outer C.V. joint too. They are still in the car though & are still going strong! haha I'll replace the gearbox & driveshafts soon enough

Engine still isn't using any water & only alittle bit of oil due to an oil leak ( & it's bloody noisey as when cold too!) & still pulls hard when you feel the need to motivate!

Oh, & the front tyres don't seem to be lasting very long either for some strange reason too!

Seeing as its coming up crissy, new year & all the festivities that go along with it, there won't be anything going on for a while sorry. Hopefully Feb next year.

This bank balance cop's a hiding this time of year!

I don't plan on dyno'ing it sorry. The 4th gear low rpm ramps ups won't do it any good at all due to the massive stutter & stubble.

On the road cruising in 4th at 60 & plant it it, the engine can't build up revs fast enough to overcome the stumble.

In 2nd as you seen it will power through it & 3rd also. $th is just too tall for it.

If you nail it from 100 in 4th it will be ok, but it depends on the weather too.

It really is one very temperamental system!

Today in the 40 degree heat!!!!!!!

Now that was something!

Cruising home this arvo from work on 95 & the temp guage was nudging red all the way! haha

My response to the guage "like i give a crap! I'll drive you till you stop!" haha
