  1. I've been resisting the urge to point out the irony in all this spending on the red car Maint I could handle but we are deep in mod territory now.
  2. 42lbr's are an excellent match for a car aiming for moderate power figures that won't kill the auto.
  3. Is the munted thread in the sump? If so bulk room to helicoil it. Plug the drain hole with rag first and don't drill all the way through. The holes are blind from the factory.
  4. I hadn't seen that question, if the thread is munted and jams before compressing the gasket to the point it'll seal then the only fixed is to fix the thread. Otherwise a sly washer on the bolt may give enough compression before it jams. Either way paper gaskets in an area that sees as much heat as a turbo drain is testicles and a high temp oring arrangement will always be better
  5. No. I have no doggie in this scrap. Not all the way through to the diffuser but through the thread and flange. I'd still run it though.
  6. What spec rear housing? Got a boost v rpm plot? I've got an s364.5-sxe on my F6 and love it. #datspool
  7. squeak will be related to pad contact in the caliper. A little CRC Stop Squeak (or plan old RTV) in the piston to pad contact point and on the pad wear pads the noise will stop.
  8. In this pic it looks like the top of the disc isn't flush with the top of the pad? That patch of rotor that's not seeing any pad action is weird?
  9. Hi, I'm Ralph Wiggum, president and CEO of Ralph Wiggums logitec numeric keypad emporium and warehouse Thanks to a shipping error, I am now currently overstocked on logitec numeric keypads and I am passing the savings onto you!!!!!
  10. I'll happily forgo the numeric keypad for a move compact unit. I've also got a wireless unit logitec unit I use if need be.
  11. exactamundo, plus less pad material = more heat transfer to the piston/boot/seals and resulting in the above. There a reason why a "worn out" pad still has 3 to 5mm or material left.
  12. Those pads killed the caliper not the other way around.
  13. I can't fault it thus far. Runs Livelink with Ease which is an achievement for any laptop. Keep in mind for the about there about 6 or 7 different variants of the Inspiron 3000 11" unit and the units with the lower spec processors/ram etc are really designed a netbooks/student laptops not for any sort of strenuous use.
  14. Interesting that the Z8000's have a slightly higher cold COF but lower hot that the HC800+ PMU's
  15. http://www.dell.com/au/p/inspiron-11-3179-2-in-1-laptop/pd They where onsale till the 18th. I paid just under $600. White wasn't my first choice of colour but I can live with it for the price
