"Captain Retard"

It's been absolutely scientifically proven that vaccinations DO NOT cause autism! Not only should it be law to vaccinate but we should also be chipping as well so in the future we can keep track of all the little FARKERS![emoji6]

Well you just put me off that job PHIL. Mines had a wee weep since I bought the car but no where near as bad as the OPs. HANG ON...... Why do you need to remove the water pump? Maybe the thermostat housing but the water pump is on the other side (see pic) Mines a BA Typhoon, are they different too the BF?

If he's a real mate then he'll understand. If he doesn't then just move on. As you get older you have enough baggage too drag around without carrying friends who aren't really friends as well.

That's not what I would get if I told the missus I felt like pasta[emoji15] Mine would be more along the lines of over cooked gluggy packet pasta with semi cooked mince that's turned grey boiling in its own juices and a can of tinned tomatoes. And if I'm lucky burnt no-name garlic bread! Irish girls aren't know for their cooking skills [emoji20][emoji20][emoji20][emoji20] You're a lucky man Jetster!

And drives a Kia!

NO WAY!!! Bang away!!! You can find mates anywhere, just go down the local and start shouting beers! Good mates are overrated.........especially when it comes to Swedish stunners[emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Yeeeeah right [emoji15] How long before you can Bang your mates Ex these days?[emoji6]

I'm trying too understand this "Jims Turbo" Deal. So he uses the small turbo and makes it a bit bigger? Does this turbo now fall somewhere between a small and big turbo? Also Gunna I would be very careful about using that turbo if you're chosen tuner hasn't tuned one before. You don't want to become somebody's development mule. In fact I would only use what you're tuner is experienced, comfortable or more importantly recommends.

I want what he's on[emoji6]

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!! You make Commodores n Skodas interesting FFS[emoji21][emoji21][emoji21][emoji21]

Well I gotta side with Gunna on this one! I've been following the updates in this thread a few times a day. Rab and Bomber you both seem to be way behind this build atm. From what I've read in this thread Gunnas going Ok. Just sayn[emoji2]

Bacon,Egg & Pineapple [emoji6]

AT LAST!!! Something in Victoria is more expensive than the RIPOFF state, NSW! For years I've always thought stuff in "Mexico" was cheaper than in NSW. Must be all those "Cartel" wars starting to take effect [emoji6]

Errrrrr......I bought 2 turbo Falcons last year [emoji19] LOSER FOR LIFE!!![emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

^^^Needs name changed to "BAD BOY BIZKETS" cause from what I've read he's no longer "Fat"[emoji6]

I can't ever recall reading about anyone breaking a T56. Obviously they're not indestructible. But compared with the amount of broken autos I've read about, I think you should be Ok. I've read about plenty of clutch issues but you seem to have that covered with a decent clutch. Anybody broken a T56? And if so what what let go?

Gearbox Pros & Cons as I see it, listed in order of preference ; T56 manual: this would be my pick cause I'm a manual guy. All the bits and pieces are readily available on eBay. They are slower BUT much more FUN! Your low diff ratio (Gunna) would make 1st gear almost useless. Buy the time you factor all the bits and pieces in as well as a good clutch it'll be pricey but worth it. Easy to repair and maintain. ZF 6 speed; Fantastic auto, best I've ever used. You may as well get a "built box" to be safe. They sound like their a drama with all the computer sh!t to install. It's also going to be expensive but I think probably worth the hassle. Turbo 400; Their heavy , power sapping BUT reliable. Plus you'll have too modify sh!t, shifter, tail shaft etc. Easy to maintain and repair. Modified 4 speed auto; From what I've read this would be my least favourite choice. Your spending a lot of coin on something that may only barely be able to cope and they sound like a ticking time bomb. Also dose'nt leave much room for further mods.

No Jeremy Clarkson.... No Topgear, simple, Jeremy knows it.......BBC knows it.....AND....we know it !!!

Too many LOLs[emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

But they have "STRIPES"[emoji6][emoji6][emoji6]

Had a rather LARGE visitor this morning!
