V: Every now and again I almost reach for the key at highway speeds thinking mine has stopped it's so quiet! In this day and age there's no reason to have a headache machine as a car. I know in the past I've joked around about 2.5L not having enough Tq for our fat cars but it was only...

Aluminium goes full soft at quite a low temp (700f from memory) EGT's are much higher than this so I'm surprised anyone would think that was a good idea..

Driz: Craig had come across a bunch of posts I'd made in the past about why the Feramic discs weld them selves to flywheels while he was researching the subject. He asked if I thought it would be ok to use one as his HP was "moderate" ;) I said no the rest is history.

16 different casting variations that I know of 17 if you include the Group A heads but George is correct the differences are minor in most. Agreed 100% on unshrouding larger valves if it isn't done it's a total waste of time and would more than likely flow worse than stock they're that close...

A car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it..... He might find a buyer that has to have it and doesn't care what the market value is.

Ahhh ok! (only ever seen 1 episode of Pinks where the loser lost his car and cried)

Jim: The pistons protrude from the block :)

I ran an OSGiken Twin with custom Metallic/Ceramic discs and while it was a bit ugly to use being a solid you can't beat a twin as you can go less aggressive on the clamp pressure and use normal friction materials so yep damn good idea. I think in your case with the potential loss of car if...

LMAO no probs :) I hate to say "I told ya so" so I won't mention it again.

Craig: Just watched it to the end :( Whose Aluminium shaft was that? Clutch.. remember our PM conversation last week?

LMAO ditto :)

Craig: Did you delete the vid from youtube? (I was cleaning up the top post and removing the image and lost the lot sorry)

FC7: It'd be nice if you chose "Thumbnails for forums" in the links at imageshack ;)
