sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Legacy Donating Member 5,919 Member For: 16y 11m 1d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 13/02/12 09:30 PM Posted 13/02/12 09:30 PM Kent we were thinking of pulling it out to put 14mm studs in, o'ring the block & copper gasket but its such minor damage & we know what happened so hopefully its a simple fix so can't justify taking it off the road again for a period of time again, it needs to be used!!!Time for some more DLM awesomeness Pics & stories to come in the next month or soI love your version of a simple fix and getting the car on the road quickly. You and the Zohan are crazy, I like it a lot

Whilst we're still using the zf we can't utilise all the power anyway so high boost levels at the track aren't necassary so the risk is relitively low of this happening again so we're sticking to the 12mm studs for now.My intentions & hope is next time im home to have it ready & take it to the strip at a reasonable power level. I want to try & find a balance of still being able to launch it with an exceptable 60ftr, get past that point without breaking something or being too laggy & then come home strong with a good mph. I know this is what we all hope to do but the equasion isn't as simple as it looks because im goin back to the stock diff gears to try & regain better driveability & also while at the track try & limit as much time as possible in the cruise gears (5th-6th) as this where the real breakages will start. Theres always a balance & anyone can go to the track & try & run a time with no thought to the before & after but I expect & want more out of this car not just a one show pony. .I got sent some pics that I though might be worth sharing.Its still got the gtx on it in this photo but I think we're gonna so the same to the precision as I like the clean look

Tryin to overtake is a careful procedure at the moment Pm sent Ben (xyz)

Look foward to some new additions under the bonnet of Jet after the engine gets back from a little holiday down at Atomic for some new presents. Should ban mobile phones way to easy to get ahold of me & twist my arm. It's gonna be bigger, badder & faster than ever & did I mention pretty 2
