  1. Clearly don't have the limiter problems we do though
  2. I never said it was smart, just a damn good effort... Found a pic of the aftermath
  3. Dust
  4. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154599023525112&id=305901075111 That's how you do a hardcore skid !
  5. Big brakes look sick [emoji28]
  6. Spot on [emoji106] And I'll add one more thing, another great mod for controlling temps on the track would be a good sized engine oil cooler
  7. Nobody would run 100% I was just adding it in... Sometimes straight water is no good for a modern engines cooling system Water/glycol mixture is more viscous (thicker) and your waterpump is designed to pump this thicker mixture around... Water would pump around faster and actually spend less time in the engine/radiator and lose it's efficiency as well I know this would be a very small difference, but as butt plug always says, the ford engineers spent millions working this stuff out, hence ford recommending 33% coolant/water ratio
  8. Random update - 100% ethylene glycol boils at 197.5 degrees [emoji6]
  9. ^^ I watched this the other day! Imagine the fear I his brain as it slipped through his fingers
  10. Look great! And dangerous at the same time

    Welcome buddy! Hopefully it's not to bad :-/
  13. Puddle
  14. I stop about 500mm from the water edge on the ramp... Doesn't hurt if you get a splash as long as give quick rinse off anyway Mostly plastic behind the wheels anyway
  15. Yeah I worked out it wasn't a recent thing... Some people are amazing how far they will push the boundaries

    With your hand ? Like every other car in the world
  17. Hey I seen some awesome pics on nizpro's Facebook page today, They put a GTR ass end in a falcon ute, I don't know any other info, just have pics (Borrowed from Facebook) Does anybody know who owns this, or have any other info some extreme effort gone into this thing I just shared cause I was mind boggled [emoji28]
  18. Not much help, but I just uploaded a high quality pic about 2 mins ago
  19. Certainly is!! Cruising down the right lane on the freeway passing everyone with ease, gotta love it
  20. Ethylene glycol has a much higher boiling point, but it does not transfer thermal energy as efficiently as water... So water absorbs the heat from the block better than a glycol coolant mixture, and then water can disperse that heat energy into air through the radiator easy than a glycol coolant mixture. And increasing the pressure in a cooling system, increases the boiling point as well Basically coolant is in our cars to - prevent corrosion in the cast iron - prevent electrolysis - increase the boiling point, without having to have really high pressure radiator caps
  21. First time towing with the T I was impressed, towed the boat beautifully Love my car even more now [emoji16]
  22. Did you see the car it came out of ? Possibly a roll over and kept running for a bit I would strip the whole thing down, could be a piston skirt Bugga'd or maybe a fudge on pin has walked out Need to find where that piece of metal came from
