Busy last few days. Here is the car fully loaded up with 2 boards and the van. Car had no doubles pulling the van. Fuel consumption went from 11.7 to 12.6 using sport mode to keep up the revs and speed for hills. Once we got a our destination set everything up cracked a beer I had a few people comment on the car all of them said they were shock to see a falcon pulling that van. Then they notice its a Turbo or I tell them. Had a great time club came in 2nd place overall.

Im furisouly talking the Blue Meanies new owner into buying one tho....

not weird at all imho Puts power to the ground and takes off in a straight line (yes......looking at you Biz -- lol) very easily & not that far behind me.......... I was all for convincing you to spend money on snails but now I'm thinking like you Enjoy it the way it is for a while

Thanks mate. I managed to get a few hours work done today. I modified the Nizpro garnish and rocker cover to accept -12 fittings for the breathers. These, along with the timing cover, thermostat housing and cover, will now be sent for chroming. Fingers crossed to have them back with a fortnight. Reassembly of the IRS has also commenced. I have ordered new bolts, which will hopefully arrive tomorrow.

I always got told that rowing was the best whole body workout.. All I ever got was f*cked back or a boner from watching the girl on the rowing machine in front..

suede steering wheel cover.

If it's good I will. Get one for Todd as well

For a daily driver I think you'd get sick of it pretty quickly. I skip heaps of gears ( on purpose) all the time when I'm in lazy cruise mode. Imagine your in 6th, 80k zone and you cop a red light, then you'll have to bang it all the way back to 1st. Years ago I had a vertical gate shifter on a toploader, it got old real quick and it was only a 4 speed! Disclaimer; I'm a lazy old Kahn ,so you young punks go for it [emoji6]

Just fantastic what you done with this ute...congrats

Lookin forward to seein this kid do it with his mum in front of us all on MKR.

Personally I don't think a 12mm stud should pose problems. I have torqued down a 12.5mm stud with over 200ft/lb, in actual fact the torque wrench went to 200ft/lb and after that used a breaker bar to the point where the nut deformed and I didn't have issue with the stud. You need to make sure that it is a non-wasted shank stud. I think you should look at more what head torque values are to be used, MLS gasket brand and whether or not you use any sealant on the head. Personally, this is not a proven recipe as I have not tested at 550rwkw and above level, marriage put a stop to that. I don't particularly have faith in the Ford MLS gasket. Its too thin IMO, no give. I would try the more expensive Permaseal one with a couple of more layers. It has more give. Or you could even take two ford gaskets to make up a 5 layer MLS gasket. I would be using 100ft/lb+ on the studs. Have used 120ft/lb, but you need to have the engined torque plate honed with the machining using your proposed head torqueing value. There are possible issues of bore distortion but the falcon block seemed OK to me. I do like using the 3 bond sealant on the deck and head. I have used copper and steel gaskets and have not had water leak using the white 3 bond 1211 sealant. Also get some really thick and widest washers laser cut for the head bolts. Alluminium does sink with those pissy ARP washers that you get. They don't need to be hardenned washers

Ok beautiful, ratter had me worried for a sec, GTX35 it will be then, I've read people have ran high 9's with them, that's overkill for me but good to know the potential is there... Thank's Veva..

I guess it depends on what you call direct fit

Enjoy Rowing? Said no man ever..... There is a rowing comp on at my gym for 2 weeks at end of this month. Contemplated entering it. Need to flog yourself over 2000m. After about 750m I usually start asking myself "why did you get on this friggin thing"

bendoco - 1 bizkets - 2 mick - edit to self, add 50% to jet's warning level.

Picked the car up today, made 516rwkw which im pretty stoked with! Will get it down to WAW this Wednesday and see what it can do, Feels awesome with the new converter in it!

Sooooo.. Been really cracking into CoD AW past couple days.. Sensational single player game! Really enjoying it.. Actually has a decent story attached to the single player campaign.. Oh and Kevin Spacey..

So.. I was a bit disappointed that I had such a sh*tty step count today.. Busted arse hedge trimming and mowing.. And didn't have much in the way of 'active minutes'.. Anyway while trawling through the data recently my fitbit is going into sleep mode really often.. Noticed it going it and out of sleep mode while I was pushing a trolley across bitumen the other day at the shops.. So anyway apparently I had a pretty restless snooze from about 8:45 this morning till 11:30.. Time to buy a vivo thingy..

Very nice !

Here's a sneak peek at my latest little project. Setting up the ute to carry 2 road bikes + track gear...I'll do a little write up when I'm finished, I still need to tidy up a few pieces so I can drop it all off to get powder coated this week. OK so if you use your imagination the final result will look something like this, in this location.Front section is reserved for storage, this has been sized to snugly house two large storage tubs & a 20lt Fuel drumBottom rack will simply drop in with out fixings to locations in the tub linerTop rack will be mounted to brackets and be totally removable with only 2 bolts

Spotted walesy and jakd in the motorvation carpark yesterday.. Has anyone used a SPOOL short motor before? Any issues? Looking at getting an engine built.. Thinking just a short motor as I am only aiming for around the 550rwkw mark. Any feedback is appreciated Cheers

Gotta love the falcon squeaks and clunks Welcome mate And you can't go wrong with cms! I travel 2 hours each way to see him. Any plans on tuning it?

Anyone wondering if a FG cat back system fit a BA/BF it does. Now to get custom dump made Cheers

Get off the puta and clean ya room bitch...

Watched American Sniper last night, 7/10, pretty good viewing.

Cause ghay

I've had 2x r33 gts25t and would get pulled over ALL the time. Also did get warned about a catch can that was vented to atmo. I have never been pulled over in my g6et though and rarely in my VX Clubsport.

You could make a cover for your breathers sorta like your air filter setup and then they wont stand out as much.Looks good though.

FG's are known to have a seat belt buckle suede deficiency.

mounted up the intercooler spray mist nozzles. its not noticeable from the front when you walk past, you can only see them if you crouch right, RIGHT down and look up.
