There are some rumours floating around that Honda might supply engines to McLaren in the nearish future. Wouldn't that be great? McLaren man Jonathon Neale dismissed it of course, but not very...
Agreed. Moving away from their traditional NA values for what? I'm annoyed. If they were going to go the turbo route, at least they could do it properly. There is some serious competition in the...
Not yet I'm afraid. I got busy with uni and stuff. I have a leak down tester on the way. I'm leaning towards a head gasket, despite the tee-kay head check. Will update once I've done the test.

It's pretty loud but not too loud. When you back off it really drones inside the car. At common driving speeds (60, 80) it's quiet enough to not attract too much attention though.
Axels: B series should be the same, important thing is to get the half-shaft (intermediate shaft) that corresponds with the engine you are putting in. After that, any b series...
Not sure yet. Tyres are badly worn on the rear. Getting new ones today, and then I can see how they all work together. Even now though it's miles better than what it was before.
Ok, I've done a Teekay head check test and it was negative. Kind of frustrating, because I was almost certain there was a combustion leak there somewhere. Still haven't done a leak down test though.
That's right, bottom hose is warm now. The engine doesn't get to operating temperature, but is still pushing at least a few centimeters into the overflow bottle. It's not overflowing.
It stays very cool w/o the thermostat, yet is still pushing lots of water into the overflow tank. I will do a leak down test after exams have finished. Will update post afterwards.
Radiator is brand new and is not blocked. It now has the 16psi, 1.1 bar cap. I've bled the system countless times. It seems to keep getting air in it. Bottom hose is always hard and cold when the...
Yeah, fingers crossed. Actually I think the thermostat lets water out of the motor (not in), so water flows from the radiator to the head, then back out through the t/stat and through the bottom...
These are 2 things I'm unsure of. I've have 'tried' bleeding the system several times, following the procedure in my DC2 manual: fill 'er up, crack bleed bolt until steady stream of water comes out,...
None right now, I gave up using coolant. Flushing $38 bottles of Redline Water Wetter gets expensive. I won't be running coolant until it's sorted out.
Replacing shifter bushes makes a huge difference. Consider getting polyurethane ones. I recently got some for mine and they're great. Really firms up the shifter feel. They're really cheap of ebay...
