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.

Re: Tuners In Wellington
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!!
As above. On older cars if a bulb goes the rest will quicken. So given none go there must be a break in the circuit after the switch and relay

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
That white LFA is meant to be doing a tour of the country with the TRS I believe
Noticed that white LFA is left hook.It's probably one of the US demo cars.
I'm going to attend the showroom event at R & B Kent Tce on the 11th.
I think its already done some laps at Manfield already.
Shall make ...

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Enough of uninsurance and back to topic
Not to day but lifted the turbo off and started removing striped studs. Not an easy task with one arm. Think Ill go buy a extractor set to help remove this last one, unless someone wants to lend one....

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Started it for the first time since march. Then found Ive still got a leak between turbo and manifold, and one of my park brake shoe locaters has fallen apart and disintergrated.
