Re: Question on Turbo cooling

As for the timer idea, is that not for the oil side of things? I was under the impression that a turbo timer was so the turbine had stopped spinning be for you stop oil flow over the shaft and bearings?

Re: Exhaust welding worksmanship

Personally, at this stage I would be calling in each night/morning and checking progress. With time n money spent so far, a few early finishes if you can would be worth it.

Shred is gone now ( dyno is still at the same workshop but is now private as far as I know) and Andre has left STM as of last week. Although I would like to know why your not keen on STM also?

Re: Possessed indicators!!

Re: What did you do to your car today?

Put it back together! And no spare bits this time! Taken a few months with a buggered shoulder, stripping studs and then snapping them, all just to change a gasket.

Re: National Geographic - Supercars: Lexus LFA

I think its already done some laps at Manfield already.
