Hi, I am going to build an engine with JE pistons. The pistons have been shipped out to me but I haven't received them yet. I gather that they recommend 0.004" clearance to the bores normally but then they recommend a further 0.001 - 0.003" clearance for supercharged or turbo charged applications. Did any of you guys add some additional clearance?

I spend a fare bit of time there but mostly work from Perth. Cloudbreak is pretty good, you will like it.

What sort of price are you looking for on the R-Spec? I know a guy who may be interested.

Another option is Brett from Sublime auto detailing. He actually works with Des from Auto FX but Brett is based in the Northern Suburbs. He does a very good job.

Maybe I misunderstood the meetpoint too. I thought we were meeting at the nodes car park in Hillarys? I waited there for a while but saw no one.

Hey Guys, I will come to the meet point and maybe the first part of the cruise. Will have to take off early though as my wife has booked me a V8 drive at AHG that day. I would probably be better off taking the F6 on the track but should be fun nonetheless.

www.carbra.com.au has a heap of photos.

True, If you are the first owner nominated in the owners manual, then you get to claim the 50% investment allowance.

Mal, I know its a bit of a drive but its always worth talking to Lane Ford in Mandurah, that's where I bought mine. I had been talking to Centreford for ages and they refused to budge on price. I rang Lane's cos it turned out that they had a slightly better one in stock. I told them what I was prepared to pay and they just said "no problems". It was pretty much that easy. Leigh

Nang, I have been going through similar issues with my family trust and business etc. The short of it is no! Until you actually realise the loss (sell) you can't claim it as a loss, in the same way as you don't get hit with CG until you sell a property etc. Depreciation is slightly different as you effectively realise the loss each financial year.

Apparently this is my 300th post...pretty poor effort seeing that I have been a member for 5 years!

What are the chances hey!

Mat, might be worth getting the typhoon plugs, I think that they are slightly colder.

It was even more impressive watching it in person! Pity I was in the other group. Good work Adrian!

I am guilty of not changing my clothes when I get on the plane but seeing that I am an Engineer and don't do any real work, I don't think I get too smelly. The problem is often that the flights are organised so that you have to go straight from site to the airport. Some airports have grotty little showers that you can use but it does take a bit more organisation to have toiletries and spare clothes/towel etc in your carry on luggage.

Awesome Ross! I expect to see them in action at AHG in a couple of weeks! Speaking of which, I forgot to tell you that I am booked in on the same day. Leigh

Nang, I am not running a sub in my home theatre at the moment. I have just got my VAF DC-X Mains and they do a pretty good job of rattling the glassware on their own. I was thinking of upgrading the reciver soon though, maybe one of those Pioneer units that I was talking to you about last year. Leigh

I'm in if its on a weekend. Those carts are normally on Saturday night aren't they?

Sorry I couldn't stay past the first stop guys, sounds like it would have been a good drive.

I should be able to make it on Sunday. Do we have a meet time yet?

What is going to replace it Adrian?

Where abouts did you get the Siemans injectors to suit the FG?? I have been looking but have not seen any that are short enough to fit in the stock fuel rail arrangement.

Spotted TOADS on West Coast Drive yesterday. Car is looking good man! Definitely not the bunky that you describe it as. I was riding down the cycle way, was going to pop a wheelie for you...

Red BaII XR6T with gold rims?? I know the guy, he says it is making 300 or so at the wheels.

Hey DJ, What injectors are you using?
