Tony's on the money there! Yeah like at Roadcraft we were meant to feel like idiots from the guy teaching us theory with the school group, he pretty much told us all we didn't know how to drive. I'm sitting up the back with my mate going this car is so wrong its not funny. Only problem is my sister was on the course and so everytime i'm driving she'll tell me how to drive, i pretty much tell her that i'm the one on the p's so shutup lol. I think the only good think i learnt from that course was stopping distances at lights i no longer stop up the arse of other cars because if you think about it how do you know a person somewhere behind you isn't off their face behind the wheel and plows into you or the cars behind you u'd be a gonna. anyway

Ghoru · 13-07-2009, 07:53 PM

any one know roughly how much it would cost for a recond engine and gearbox?

I'm replacing my shocks and springs this weekend. What can I do with the old ones? They're stock, and have had a life time of about 150000kms. How much are they worth, and would there be any use for them?

project.r.racing · 14-07-2009, 07:14 AM

worth nothing.

02-KQ-LASR · 14-07-2009, 04:00 PM

keep springs for defects.

Ghoru · 16-07-2009, 05:09 PM

hey is there anypoint to re sparaying under where the carpet goes ect? or should i just stick to door jambs engine bay and outside?

marcs_sp20 · 16-07-2009, 05:55 PM

i wouldnt considering you dont see it... just make sure you take the rubbers off in the door jambs so it looks neat, one thing i hate is a nice spray job brought down by the door jambs...

Ghoru · 16-07-2009, 08:52 PM

yeh evry single piece of trim and rubber is all ready off the car anyway, replacing the carpet so figured may aswell take all the trim off while ima at it cos it will all be painted or modded

Ghoru · 16-07-2009, 09:16 PM

new question...is Dynamat worth my money or would i be better of using a jute/bitumen underlay for sound proofing?

70NYD · 17-07-2009, 04:03 PM

ok so i got a question. tons of blue smoke at COLD startup with no smoke at all at warm startup is worn valve stem seals yeah? and blackish smoke is unburnt petrol yeah? im jsut getting my colours straight here cus its been always blowing black smoke when i up it, BUT only last night did it start blowing blue after sitting for ages

Brisbane_boy · 17-07-2009, 04:37 PM

hows longs ages. maby the fuels gona kinda stale??
blue smoke??? sounds like need for speed the game

Ghoru · 17-07-2009, 04:56 PM

ahh no... i dont recall ever seeing blue smoke coming from any car on any NFS game like what he is talking about

70NYD · 17-07-2009, 07:13 PM

lol i fill a tank each week, so its not stale lol
my guess is that the O2 sensor is fubared, and as for oil, if the car sits over night it blows blue smoke on startup, but if engine is any sort of lukewarm even it doesnt. dw bout this i figured it out, its valve stem seals, or at least 1 out of 16 and as for the black smoke, only thing it can be is O2 sensor, cus sparks goot, timing is goot, unt meine a/f mixture is supposetly fine...

project.r.racing · 17-07-2009, 07:18 PM

blue smoke on start up it is worn valve stem seals.

black smoke is unburnt fuel. too many things can cause this.

NaughtyGT · 17-07-2009, 07:21 PM

^^^^

Ghoru · 17-07-2009, 08:59 PM

so a recap, is dynamat worth the money or just stick with underlay on the floor

Mad Mat · 19-07-2009, 07:46 PM

marcs_sp20 · 19-07-2009, 07:51 PM
