Went for a cruise with nut161(danny, in his 330kw@wheels turbo ute) and another mate (ash, in his subaru) on the 13.09.08. thought this was a pretty cool pic
Here's the rest
Cruise Pics
Good to see the coupe on the road Knobby. Finally sorted out that oil filter issue...
MY PRIDE AND JOY - "THA ROTOR COUPE"
Thanks for the comments guys.
I'm currently running a Stage 3 Gemracing Race Motor with qaud 45mm throttle bodies running a microtech.
Yeah, sorted the oil filter explosion problem, still finding oil everywhere though!
The problem was whoever manufactured the oil pump didn't put a hole in the bolt that holds the pressure relief valve and spring in place, therefore the air behind the valve had no where to go when it wanted to push open. resulting in blowing the rubber oring out of the oil filter and oil going EVERYWHERE
its running ok now. i really need to sort out a diff. mine is practically broken, it jumps and skips and sometimes locks, and sometimes doesn't. makes it horrible to take off from a standing stop.
Took her to the drags, only got 1 run, which was terrible, held 3rd way too long, plus pretty poor 60ft time. resulted in a 16.1. very dissapointing when i had previously run a 15.4. this motor feels much stronger though, and i'm sure its just in the tune.
still need to get the gas dialled in too. hopeing for 300hp@wheels once she's sorted. could be a while off yet
heres a heap more pics
