    What is this blown head gasket thing I hear about? And Poll.

    Of course I personally have never had one of course, I don't actually even know what one is really. I think they might be a myth in fact. I think air cooled beetles get them alot if I'm not mistaken!:icon_razz I'm curious to know how many people here have owned their cars for a decent period...

Skirt touched when a plug dropped it's ceramic into the cylinder and got down around the side and broke a rin. It weighs within two decimal places of a gram to the others and seems to have no ring...

    I'm sick and stuck in bed, so I thought I would relate a funny experience.

    I was just in flashchat and Jonnyredline made me remember a funny situation that happened to me a number of years ago while I was living in Vancouver.

    You might be a Honda owner if.....

    You have a Nabob coffee can welded to the end of your muffler, cuase you think it looks cooler and love the obscenely loud sound of 22hp. If someone says "Let's go cruising downtown in our civics!" and it sounds cool to you, not like someone mocking you! If your radiator is the size of a...

    *What ME did today*

    Here's what me did today, partially anyways. I'm filthy and grubby, but my valve cover, right side is......OH SPARKELY! The paint I put on them at the begining of my build had taken a beating so I decided to go with a shiney look this time. Way more work than painting I remember now. Too late...

    GT4088R, lost after 80KM of use. Bad luck.

    Well, after exactly 80KM of use on my new garret GT4088R, I blew a rice crispy sized stainless weld bead through it. I know it was a weld bead because it lodged into the wastgate and I found it when clearing the gate. Here are the pics for your examination. Suggestions on where to get it...

    Remeber the local track that got saved from becomming a drainage ditch? Not saved.

    Apparently the local track some of you may remember me speaking of a little while ago was supposed to be safe after city council voted to keep it 8-7. The agreement was that the terms for the new lease would be similar to the terms of the old lease. Well apparently if they couldn't kill...

    Carnage from ct-26 (snapped shaft) & Turbonetics (failed bearing)

    I was sorting through things in my garage when I came across 2 examples of carnage from failed turbo's. Unfortunately failures I personally experienced in my own car years ago. The first image is from my original CT-26 that came with the car that I had been running hard for a few years up to...
