Build or pay someone to build?

Thanks to everyone for coming today. The weather was great with plenty of blue sky around. Can't help bad luck with the debris all over that road Gary. We made the most of it in the end and I had a ball up Lake Mountain. Shame all of you got stuck behind the Suzuki.

I'm here. Time for a McMuffin.

I've photographed that car and the guys Yamaha R1. I don't think he's on this forum.

Yep. Have a look through the Blow Off Valve forum... http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/forum/121-blow-off-valve-workshop/

Weather's looking great for this one!

Moved all the posts about the strange noise to

No. The spigot bearing is in the flywheel and does nothing more than locate the end of the trans input shaft.

Engine and driveline warranty would be gone. Thrust bearings won't be noisy with the clutch out. It's only when you push the pedal in that they load up on the pressure plate and start spinning.

Video effect only. Not the really thing Gary.

That's not roll over noise. It's something is farked noise.

I was kind of thinking of an explosion more like the one from the movie.

Awesome work Gaz!

Thanks mate. Might drag the camera out for this one too.

Don't think there's a bloke that knows more about wheels on here than Worm. You went to the right place.

I'm in.

Can't really blame the car mate. It is modified. These things are more likely to happen on modified cars.

Has replacing the coils fixed the problem?

If the waste gate wasn't opening the boost would go through the roof. Mr_4.0 sounds like he's on the money.

So why are you pulling it apart if your warranty covers it? You might actually be hurting your chances of getting the claim through by messing with it first. If one of my customers came in looking for a warranty claim after they had pulled it apart they'd leave disappointed.

I'll be very surprised if they go for that.

Canon's CPS (Canon Professional Service) can cost a bit. They recommend getting the lens and body calibrated together. This article contains a lot of info on testing... http://www.canonrumo...to-test-a-lens/ I've also attached a test chart. Don't get too hung up on testing though. Some people take it far too seriously and examining images at large magnifications has nothing to do with real world scenarios. I've never felt the need to send my camera or any of my lenses in for adjustment. All of my lenses fall into line with what I've read in reviews. My 100-400mm for example isn't that sharp wide open,but stop it down to f/8 and it's razor sharp. I always use http://www.the-digital-picture.com/ to research a lens and look at the test charts on there. You can also directly compare lenses on that site. Quality of the lens will have a lot to do with how sharp a lens is too. We can't expect a $200 lens to be as sharp as a $2000 lens. ISO_12233-reschart.pdf

That's a L series lens hence the price. Are you using Canon? There's others to chose from. There's a cheap 75-300mm or a 70-300IS for a few hundred more. There are others to choose from, but it all depends what you want to spend. What lenses do you currently have now?

Always keep a spare $2-$3k handy for the auto rebuild. It will be needed. It's just a matter of when.

Gentech it Canberra are a good workshop. Not the best time of year for something to go wrong though. A lot of places are probably shutdown over the holidays.
