My next toy will be a Starion for these reasons : 1) I know the car mechanically after all the repairs done to my Scorpion. 2) I just need something else to pump money into 3) Have something that is off the road more than it is on 4) Something to have arguments about with the wife concerning reasons...

I know it has been a while but i have been to busy or to lazy to do a compression test till today. This is what I got : Cyl 1 -130 PSI Cyl 2 -100 PSI Cyl 3 -130 PSI Cyl4 - 140 PSI When I pulled the spark plug out of No. 2 and it seemed a bit oily I feared for the worst, and after the compression tes...

I havn't had a chance too look at the car yet (due to family related issues), but I'm going to drive it tomorrow and see what it does with boost set to 6psi instead of 15 psi. When I get a chance I will do a compression test and see what it says.

I will let you all know what what I get.

compaired to my pressure that is very low. I think what they have said in the pervious post they have hit the nail on the head.

It dosn't blow smoke in the morning, just when I come to a stop. The other day after I had fun with a skyline I found that my dipstick had been pushed up by a inch and oil was all over the rocker cover. After what I have read it might be the rings. I hope not, the misses will kill me for spending mo...

Over the last week when I come to a stop the car is blowing smoke. If "I rev the car it's like a smoke machine till I burn the oil away.
When I'm driving it's fine this only happens when I stop at lights etc...
I think its the valve seals, just wondering what all you guys think.

cheers

I agree with barney. Brakes are the most imporant thing on your car.
Find someone you don't like and do thier brakes :P

I recon the price is high so it dosn't sell. Maybe his misses has a big part in the car doing up for sale. Also to, the car is 15,500 and add a axtra 1650 for the wheels. So all up 17,150 I thought you all might have thought the same thing with the quote from the bottom of the add. From the ad. Obvi...

Everyone has a diffent way. I would do what hcca said but with the sanding I would use a block cause you get even pressure, with hand you get uneven pressure while sanding. But with edges and corners I would use my hand and not the block for the reasons hcca said.

When she goes down to bed and I can go and do some work in the car.
Thats my favorite time.

Go the red ones, more stable and the load is being distributed among 4 pionts.

I just found this, I just thought I would post it up to get some feedback on it.
This is when I was running completly stock everything besides the Microtech MTX-8 and I havn't had it dynoed since.

After 12 weeks changing sh1ty nappies and being a house bitch I have finaly got a job. Took the scorp for a run to see this new work place of mine for the next couple of weeks. And this new work place of mine is up in Healsville. God it felt good throwing the car around the corners and the nice cold...
