So my earls oil line has started leaking in 2 places now and its gotta come back off. What have people found the best way too seal this bastard. Mine was perfect for a good 20000kms. I used sanded copper washers on the block and pressure switch, But never had to do anything with the filter itself but now that's leaking. Will thread tape do here??

but its the electric side of it guys. batteries been in and out plenty of times so that's not doing it. no other electric problems for any of the fuses?? Will it still make a noise if say the glass was jammed somehow? Where is the motor??

other mods?? with the flash? making 250 at the rear without a huge amount of boost would be nice. im a fan of doing things differently. 250ish on 6 pound would be nice!!

plugs? Fuel pump? Im not greedy 250rwkw is plenty

Hey all, Just wondering if I would run into any trouble flushing out the engine and hoses without a radiator. Pulled the old crappy radiator out and waiting for the arrival of my new radiator. Just wanna flush all the crap out before putting the new one in. Just a garden hose in either side for a while should do a good enough job and then a full flsuh once the new radiator is in? Thansk guys.

which crimp, mines leaking out the engine connection and the blue filter itself

yea well I ahd a drama with the oil feed line to the turbo. I had done regular services but after I was told by a mechanic that the 2nd turbo would go on fine and the car was all good to accept it. I was told luck played a factor in the first turbo going. So on went the 2nd, 6 days later bang. Lost the plot at the mechanic, checked the car out myself and realised the feed line was putting close to nothing out of it for the turbo. Wasnt until I put the 3rd turbo on that I jumped on the computer and found these ba oil lines clogging up was a bit of a common issue

na clutch in or out its still there. seems like we all got rattling Ts haha. Maybe a sick as big shaker out the bonnet can fix it

ok so capa wont have a drama changing the vin? but cant put an even slightly tweaked tune on it? So even the smallest of variables...fmic, cai, exhaust..is gonna cause a mediocre tune? Yea I wouldnt say theres much life left in the box. It sounds and operates nicely still, definitely gave it a beating when I was 19 though haha. Any options for the 6 speed or am I at a dead end without big coin? Thanks Ratter your a guru

Hey all, Had the T for a few years now but always just used it to run around and even was used for the baby/mum car for the last 9 months. Finally got my car back after buying the misses an 07 xr5t mmmmmmm....nice lil car. Anyway mines a grenade apparently.. 03 XR6T. So yes the early block and 5 spd. I have fitted an earls oil line after a couple failed turbos, onto the 3rd now a freshly rebuilt item at ATS in Marion. Also have fitted a huge front mount when I first bought it. Has ~80 000kms on it. So what can I do to try make this fairly reliable once I flash it. I have the first box which has had the tunes put back to it from a mates car, im guessing capa can still change the VINs on these?? What else will I need? Plugs im guessing due to more boost I have a mechanical boost gauge, is there a nice spot to run the vacuum line or is it a case of making a new hole in the firewall? A tune out of capa would be beneficial I guess.

too hard to explain. I have heard loose flex plates/flywheels etc. its a different noise and behaves differently. Not much point without as sound clip

its a manual sorry...

definitely a rattle

yea that's my guess but where is the hard part haha

excuse me but drive plates??
