If i had better pads and semis im sure i could knock down some seconds. Aim is to get under 1:40 by the end of the year
Better pads made a massive difference, then the engine let go before I could get timing sorted, derp!
1:40 sounds pretty good, hopefully our Track Hack will be faster than the wagoon, otherwise there will be... trouble!

Fixed the heater fan in the motorised dog kennel, not to get the aircon fixed, so we don't melt next 31deg day!

Did you do this James? Did you need/get replacement fittings because Subaru? If so where? (TMIC will be coming off in the next few weeks)
Nope, well kindof, I replaced the whole engine instead!!
I think the hoses all broke when I did try and clean it out, and the plastic fitting, which I replaced with brass fittings and new hose.
-
Some kind of reference of which bits of which Subaru chassis fit which other chassis's?
I realise that's a massive task, would be brilliant if it could be done though!

Filed the warped flang on the external re-circ pipe and ree fitted to elimiste exhaust leak *don't buy cheap flanges they become nightmares. * v-band wastegates are c&$ts to work with... can the v-band stretch if removed and re fitted to much?
The V-band should only stretch if over-tightened, or maybe if it gets too hot, the bolt may wear tho, which could cause similar issues I guess.

Man that thing is a rather glorious relic of a bygone era.... I'd love some Shivers just to hang in the garage and look at. Been meaning to pick up some Monster T's for the same purpose.
Also are those Hope M4's I detect?
I love my Shiver, has a Stratos cartridge in it, makes it less nose divey.
The best gnar steamer fork ever, point it where you want to go, and ignore everything in the way smaller than your head.
Not M4's, older than that, E4's!!
Actually I think I have changed some stuff on it since that pic, has Juicy Ultimates and some random Raceface cranks on it now, and a different front wheel.
Might have to haul it out and take some new pics.
Monsters are awesome, only ridden one set, haven't seem any for years tho.

In that first picture, the bit labeled Hose 10 is the bit you want to lose, the hose with anything happen here you want to replace with a single hose, so no T in it, just straight from manifold to BOV.
The other end of the smaller Hose 10 needs blocking, or I think you can use all the bits there to get rid of the end to make it look all factory.
Taking the BOV re-circulation hose off helps with access there.
You intercooler looks like a 15 year old one!
Its not hard to bend the fins, also not hard to bend them back, much easier when its not on the car.

Attached some cleats so my big ass bike rack doesn't flap in the breeze.
Yes the rack does need some padding...

Interestingly the car vomited up a Code 66 yesterday, when I was being a dick and changed in teh middle of VOD and floored it, wouldn't come out of derp no boost mode then did the fun fuel cut thing the whole way home.
Yay.
So now its back to stock, just with the ECV rod adjusted properly, seems to go fine and even VOD gear changing isn't too horrendously slow.
No idea what planet of weirdness them Aussies are on to think it does anything useful...
-
Well I found a section of 80k road without 3000 other cars on it, and things are pretty good yah!
It definitely closes the ECV faster if you do change in the VOD area, was down to about a second if you use full throttle in the next gear, maybe 3 seconds if you go to part throttle.
Much better than the time to make a coffee and peruse the tardme cool auctions amount of seconds it was before!
I notice it does make a weird sort of "whoop" noise the first time you boot it through the VOD (which is amost non-existant again, back to boost then moar boost, yay!), but that doesn't seem to make any difference to anything. Maybe the cars just cheering that its getting to be all lolzy boosting.
