bump!

That's dd.

Rev. I'm here for good! Just moved back this week

Hey guys,
I think I may have another blown head! I recently drove from Hobart to devonport and it ran quite hot. Not past the H but up there. I didn't like it and then once the car had cooled down I checked the radiator and it was quite foamy. Once on the other side of the bass straight I had another hour ish drive and discovered it wasnt over heating but there was a power lul at around 3000rpm.

Last symptom was white smoke when I started it up yesterday.

Any thoughts? Is anymore a mechanic or amiture mechanic that has time to have a little looksy? I'm down mount Eliza Way but willing to travel!

Many thanks
J

could be the best advice ive had on here yet!

haha. how many coils should i cut off before i even put them in the car? and dont worrry, i have an oversize angle grinder for some fun :P

SO my only day off this week and thought i would spross up my front end. s13 adjustable camper tops and rear c210 springs to be cut down to size.

pulled the wheels off, both struts out. borrowed a file from my neighbour and made the holes bigger to fit in the strut top and then i go to put it all back together and remember i lent my spring compressors to a mate months ago! and to top it off he's not answering his phone.

so maybe my car will have to stay like this until he gets back to me...




also, admire my workshop, i know you're all jealous!
