Have you been to my work place, thets the saying we use just about everyday or SOSDD, same old......God bless working for the NHS

 

Mornin All

 

Afternoon

 

Bit quiet in here of late, not much happening then

 

been quiet for a few days...........................

 

Tra la la la..........I'm here now....the peace is shattered!!!

Not been here for a while. Busy with a house move ..... doing it ourselves too, so nice and busy with wagon loads of stuff. (7.5Te wagon.....not Impreza Wagon!!)

Our final load will be on Monday, so don't think I'll be at the Tuesday meet. The wee man in at hospital for tests and he'll be returning to a "new" house, so I suppose I'd better be there.

Alyn......I'll pop in and see you soon.

Hope everyone is ok.

I'll be living closer to the Teesside lot after Monday, so may have to "was it you" a few of them.

 

Well off to Penrith tomorrow for a stag do, hopefully it'll stop bloody raining by then.
Paintballing on Saturday, just oiling the gun now

 

Still bloody raining and its that fine stuff that soaks you right through

Off to pick my mate up later and a nice drive over to Cumbria after that.

 

Fookin sick of the rain, having to get in and out of my van all day n not gettin a chance to dry off. Good thing i get a lunch break so i can go home for a bit.

 

been down south munching on magic mushrooms

there a bit crazy they are
i apperntly had twice the recommended dose

i saw the dog from wallace and grommit outside in a tree eating food

 

Morning. See the weathers still typically british. ie: ****.

 

I wouldn't care but it's not even raining, it's just that pain in the @rse fine drizzle sh1te

 

Anyone able to tell me what piston slap sounds like or maybe in the gateshead area tomorrow to have a listen cos i think my engine sounds not quite right. Also what damage can be done if it is "slap" Ooh and how much to put right? Hope my felloow geordies can help out. Or i could meet someone local if you's can help. Cheers.

 

piston slap shud only normally be heard when the motor is cold and usually goes away when the motor has heated up and everything expanded ie pistons, rings etc etc, one of my mates has a bit of slap, until thouroughly heated upon , been told that it is nowt to worry about as long as the motor runs ok and doesnt smoke /burn oil or rattle /knock etc when warmed up, to be honest subaru flat fours r not the most quiet smooth motors out there, and there r all a bit clickety when cold, u checked ya oil, also the later wrx and sti motors ie version 3 onwards have solid lifters which also give a bit top end/side noise, again supposedly nowt 2 worry about cheers

 

Cheers for that, not sure if I'm just being paranoid as most of the time it sounds alright but then I start thinking that it sounds funny.


Paranoia's a not so wonderful thing ain't it.

thats ok, i might got to the meet at chester le street on tues,thats if the weather is fine , cos the sub dont normally go out in the rain and its in the trader this week and dont want 2 get it up to the eyes in case i get any bidders round 4 her

 

You should come along, weather is meant to be nice. Be nice to put a face to the name.

 

its not my face , its how bad ny hair is at the moment , am just new to this scooby net and comp stuff but have had sub 4 a few years now , on my fourth at the moment, hopefully when mine is sold i will be gettin a cheap ra or sti ra for a winter/track toy, cos the current sti is really to good to abuse and stands me far too much cash

 

You're new, only had mine 3-4 month and owes me a fortune. Mods + new clutch & recon box. But all's well now. Cheers Alyn.

As for hair, shave it off, no more bad hair days.

 

no worries Micky, happy to help.............................

morning bump!!

 

Got one for sale at the moment, 1997 RA facelift, plenty of extra's.
Cheer's,

Quiet in ere tonight, and is it just me but is SN runnin a bit slow?

 

car is run in, feels much faster, not sure if thats the mudburner still in my viens?

i have had a thought, at the RR day i was honestly expecting 330ish bhp
the boost, the fueling, no knock etc etc, it should have smashed down 300bhp with a chocolate spoon

it did not do that
wondering if there was a fault sumwhere which got "fixed" in the rebuild sumhow, we do know sum of the valves were not sealing or closeing properlly etc etc

maybe the turbo to uppipe/downpipe gaskets were leaking?

you know when your stomach kinda clenches up when its scared lol
mine did that today the first time i opened her up (its been a long time scince i went even remotley fast TBH)

will give steve or sheck a shot and see what they think, there probably better to judge then me at the moment

 

just bought a motorbike



looks fast

 

Micky, your heads were in fairly poor conditiion prior to being o/hauled so this would most likely have caused a loss of performance at a minimum......................

don't go over-boosting your shiny new toy!! LOL

alyn

 

would the pops and bangs cause the head/valves to go a bit crappy?


after sum proper testing ive noticed that the boost has infact increased with the new parts fitted, not dropped

will have to turn it back down a smidge

allready looking at the NOS kits for the bike

 

Ahh a minimoto, gonna keep it in the boot and use it everywhere?

 

I do with mine, LOL.
