    Very dump question. E 85 ?

    85% alcohol and 15% Gas to stop the rednecks sucking on the Pump at the gas station ;)

    What's the thickest head gasket? 3mm?

    I ran one with an uncut Head and Block for a long time and while it's not ideal and does strange things to the squish and economy the extra boost I was able to run without detonation more than made up for it. It WILL make the bottom end a bit doughy though. Your results will vary depending...

    Tire Shredder's MK2 7MGE budget NA screamer build thread

    That sort of throttle response is about the only thing I miss on Turbo Motors ;) Looks to be a bit traction limited but I guess that's not unusual for a Mk2 :D

    Replaced HG, Now I have Low Compression!

    Add to that the time and $ involved with pulling and stripping the block so it can be surfaced correctly and I can see how it would blow out his budget.

    Do you need to Prime the oil pump after a fresh rebuild?

    With the plugs in you're still putting 150Psi of load across the piston crowns down onto the dry crank bearings :( (this is why assembly lube is so important)

    Opinions of my kaze light kit???

    If the housings are good quality the light pattern should be fine and the ability to aim all 4 lights will be brilliant. It was just the statement I found foolish as good lights are hugely important to me and would never be sacrificed for fashion. I have 55w h4 HIDs here and frankly I'm a...

    Do you need to Prime the oil pump after a fresh rebuild?

    Ok YES you do need to prime it ;) In the old days I had a primer for Chevs that I always used but the 7M is a PITA to do that way with all the crap in the way so my "method" while not "cool" works well. Worst case scenario is a stock rebuild and a dry pump as it will start the second the...

    Glove Box (Standalone Owners only please)

    I run an extension cable from mine to down beside the passanger seat. This way I can throw the Laptop on the back seat when it's not in use. (rare these days as it has the SatNav software installed.)

    Greddy declared bankruptcy today

    The people that buy knockoff's WOULDN'T pay for genuine Greddy anyway so it's a moot point..... Our idiot Government screwed the Grey import market to protect our local car industry but failed to realise someone that's going to buy a 13k Silvia ISN'T going to buy a 35K Commodore/Falcon.

    I pack my pumps with Castrol LMM Moly grease then crank on the starter with no plugs till I see pressure on the stock gauge ;)
