It hates me. So much. Like radiator bubbles and s***, and it filled up the overflow tank after I emptied it. It was five minutes driving, if that.- like thinking about it; it is the least healthy, healthy car. I have a couple of days off, might flush cooling system, heater and all. Argh. No water in oil. The bubbling is intermittent, like sometimes happens.

Compression Test. :-\ Any Bubbles when Cold? Is Vac Reading different when Cold?

Pull your Thermostat out and drop it into a pot of Simmering Water on the oven. It should open instantly. Maybe the cause of your Overheat/HG...

Edit: Or use a Roasting Thermometer and heat it slowly, seeing when it opens.

Sh*t. :-[ HG gone between Bore and Coolant Gallery on one Cylinder. Compression will show low on one. Also that Plug might be a different colour, or wet.

Had a cars hate me day...

I hit a pothole in the Altezza and bucked a rim so its on a Space saver until at least the weekend and I drive out of town for work each day so a spacey doesnt cut it. I figure sweet as I will use the Mrs car and she can drive the Altezza in town. Great plan... 5 Mins later Mrs rings me and her car failed a warrant on huge rust, plans not so brilliant anymore.

Last resort use the WRX for work while both cars are fixed and the Mrs can drive the Altezza for a couple days... Start WRX and I have a boost leak. So I fix the leak and cross my fingers my bad luck run is over for a few weeks at least.

Not a great way to end a massive day.

I know how you feel race car is still not running, my dailydriver key came apart and little did I know the chip inside it that controls the immobilizer fell out, car won\'t work now had to leave it.

Need a new key have to get the car towed to garage buy key 5 day wait then take car to dealership to programme the car, another tow payment, bloody expensive day downside of Audi ownership.

Oh wow its that kinda week for me too :( just sold my run about as no longer needed, put the money down on my missus bills, using her car now as single run about..

And sure the wrx has a hg leaking, was hoping to have it all finished with my new wheels which was going to be the final piece :\'(

Got the radiator back in, filled with water, run it up and bled it. Traced the misfire to fouled plugs. Great lol maybe i will have to look into a tune.

Picked up a shroud. Hopefully my fan and adaptor plate are ready tomorrow so i can take it for a drive again

Drove the Hilux to wangas and back, coming back was making a noise under braking, get back and diagnose low pads( only thing I could find) so fitted a new set of ultimates :) should brake better than the Toyota pads that were on it ( looking at brake upgrades at the moment, seems the late model 4wd hilux dont get much in upgrades, not like the 2wd model which can get 6 pot goodness,oh well new rotors and good pads will have to do )

Well, I put a deposit down on a v5 STi longblock. $850 to go and I\'m broke for a few weeks.

Totally worth it.

After 400km of driving today I was convinced I still had my phantom boost leak and it was my Boost gauge line. I block off the line to see if that was it and nope, noise is still there.

I am starting to think its not a leak and just my imagination as the car is going fine.

Picked up my twin scroll sump from Marc ;D

Getting there!

Now I\'m waiting for turbo - then send that to Steve for billet wheel and ceramic bearings

Weighing up if I should just suck it in and purchase Marc\'s gt30

Next on the list is some headers and a few other pieces.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
