  1. It only needs soap and water for now
  2. It must have been cut and buffed at some stage cos it's very shiny.
  3. Washed my car today, holy farken sh*tballs it got shiny!!!
  4. Merry Xmas too, I use super grey, replace both seals, use too much silicone, better than not enough, it's all done with the engine and trans in place and there is a longitudinal clearance to adhere to with the sump and block, look it up. The manual will show you how to do it. Loving driving the WM Caprice now, I decreased the shift timing and it loves it, the new tune is night and day difference, who would have thought 15rwkw could make that much difference?! Can't wait for my hectic cam to arrive, it'll be sick. My mate has also ordered cam and other parts for his LS3 powered WN, I'll get it all done when he's ready. Here's a photo of my BF MK2 XR6 turbo that I still own, just in case anyone thinks I ain't got a spot for the turbo Barras
  5. Yay Friday, where's Rebecca Black when you need her?
  6. I was thinking I'll get another SSD, install windows on that and use recuver or something to fix it up.
  7. I downloaded the windows media creation tool but it can't repair the install cos it doesn't see it. I'll have to get an ISO and go from there I think.
  8. I was hoping to avoid that due to some things being things, but seems like the likely option. At least it's the school holidays, so he won't lose his school work.
  9. My kids PC is blue screening, critical process died. SFC says it repairs startup files but doesn't work, dism didn't work at all, the SSD shows up as healthy and partitioned etc, further investigation showed windows isn't installed so can't reset or restore etc. What do?
  10. Little bit of sound, little bit of power. Did tuning, ended up making 259.6rwkw, so a 16kw increase. Happy days
  11. Fitted extractors and cats today, was too hot but oh well. Will chuck it on the dyno when the weather cools down a bit. Car feels better and sounds heaps better so there will be some sorta increase
  12. So I've been keeping an eye out for parts deals and I've collected a few parts, all for about 35% of new price. Yeah I know this is a XR6 turbo forum but considering I'm learning LS stuff, I'm gonna post about it. I got a set of extractors and high flow cats, a hectic cam that's had less than 10 hours work, a set of new in the box valve springs and have been offered a LSD with 3.7 diff gears. I will get it on the dyno shortly, probably next week, I'm hoping for around 350rwkw but will see how it goes. After I do my car I'll be upgrading a mates car, so will report back on how it all goes. Looking forward to learning new things and helping others get fully fledged custom tunes, whether Barra or LS based. Still happy to do free tunes for a select few forum members
  13. Yeah man, that's a giant pita. We had to fork out for a new roof cos the water was coming through and damaged the ceiling a bit.
  14. Use Google translate, enter 12 months and translate it from English to Estonian. Then play it so you can hear it
  15. The joys of home ownership ay?! You get to climb on the roof, in the roof, clean the gutters, paint the walls etc etc. Wait until you get solar, you will be up there cleaning the panels and calculating the cost of water vs the amount of electricity gained from the clean
  16. I will try to capture something
  17. In other news... I got a Venus Fly Trap plant, it loves the flies lol
  18. Yay a day Took the Caprice to roll racing and got chopped by everyone lol...well except one car. Was going 160kph over the finish, compared to the 200kph the territory was doing with 500awkw. Ordered a sick cam and bought some extractors and cats, so I'll end up a bit over 300rwkw. That should be a bit quicker Also get 8.5L/100km at 110kph on the hwy, farken sick
  19. 6 or 10 metres, who's counting right
  20. Made a slightly inebriated decision yesterday to buy another na engine for the territory. Can just do valve springs and run 15psi for a while. At least it'll keep it mobile and possibly motivate me to build it again.
