It was snowing in Victoria. Well the higher altitude regions at least. Not to mention the snowfields that copped a dumping.

It gets hotter because there is no airflow over the radiator when the fan is off. The thermo fan kicks in and can only hold the temp level and not lower it (this is not uncommon). Thermo fans are not as efficient as the standard fans and shroud. The thermo fans actually work better sitting on the Grill side of the radiator and pushing air through the radiator into the engine bay. (not sure which side you have the fan on, thats all).

Its running too cold? This is new one for me. Maybe going up in thermostat temp range would help. About half on the temp gauge is acceptable for a stock motor i think. Mine is modified and it still never gets over half on the gauge. I can't see the value in putting a new core into your radiator if its not over heating. How long in minutes does it take to warm up? Mine takes at least 5-8mins, even after i start driving. Thermo fans are not designed to run constantly. Most have a lifespan of about 1500hrs at 80 degrees. I would be going back to the standard fan and trying to source a higher temp thermostat. After all, why would you spend money on a new radiator when installing the standard fan will fix the problem.

If you purchased the Facet pump that i quoted you....well then your going to get the sound that you love. (sort-of) I have mine mounted inside the boot. Its sitting on a dense rubber block and bolted to the floor. I can just hear it over my exhaust and or radio stopped at a red light, if the tank is getting low. It bugs the shit out of me too. The trouble with Facet pump is that its a diagphram pump. So its not an even hum, but rather a clack clack clack (but a deep sound). It's still regarded as a good quality pump though. :jamie:

I guess we are gone with the good 'ol days with Jeff Kennet as premier. Bloody Bracks has screwed everything up with all his new changes.

I actually got all that info from Jamie, from when he set his up. So some of the praise must go to him. :jamie: By the way, "Bush" isnt my real surname. I didnt want to use my real surname for obvious reasons. I thought Bush was very fitting (considering my nickname). Feel free to get in touch if you need more answers or even an extra pair of hands.

Dammit. I didnt know you could view it online. I have been sitting here since 7:00 waiting for it to land.

Great to hear they made it home safe and sound. I'm interested to see if the re-entry had any effect on the pre-existing damage that was caused on the launch.

Worked 5K. Did anyone figure out what was wrong with Sloths carby? It used to work when the engine was first put into the car, right?

Here's Mine. :jamie:

Its on NOW!!!

Pfft - I had a 32/36 on my 5k and it went alright. I now have twin SU's and wheeeeeee. I'm sure Jamie will agree. P.S. He's already placed an order for all the bits and pieces to setup his twin SU's.

Thats after the discrepency percentage is deducted. Years ago, there was a 10% allowance/deduction based on your overall speed. (not sure if other states have this) Although i think Steve Bracks has since lowered that percentage to 7% or even lower (revenue raising??). So if i were doing 100km/h. Then i could actually be travelling at 107km/h and not get booked. Because you deduct 7% of your total speed to allow for any indescrpencies in the camera and its reading. I think this only applies to roadside cameras though. The Police Radar guns are may be excluded from this deduction. So Sloth Snr must have been doing around 110km/h in a 100km/h zone to get booked doing 103km/h. I pretty sure i got the maths right.

$15,000..... Jebus. Isnt that enough for the cops to arrest you next time they pull you over. Or maybe i have been watching too many episodes of COPS.

Heres a link to the Movie, if anyone missed it. Porsche Crash

LOL. Its funny, because it true.

don't feel too bad. Most Holden driver's look at you wheels and think "Fully Sik Interceptors of the Subaru" :jamie: This sounds like Victoria Police your talking about. Right?

Fixed. Thanks for letting me know. Vicroads have added more info to their site, and the new links are located in the first post. It's very interesting reading.

Nick and his Camera water proofing patent :y: Whitey doesnt mind stepping sideways does it.

Latest Update - The return has been postponed for 24hrs due to cloud cover. Something has to go right with this mission soon.

I would love to see some movies of the dyno shows. Especially your KE30 :y:

Just a correction on my last post. Low cloud has forced the Shuttle to orbit the earth once more. Its is now expected at approx 8:20pm tonight.

Why did i just laught at the first pic? Maybe its because i barrack for the bulls at those events. Those Matodor blokes deserve whatever they get....and more.

Mmmmmm Lumpy. Hehe. That sounds like a punchy little 5K. :y:

Just reminding everyone that the Space Shuttle is due to re-enter earths atmosphere at 6:45pm AEST tonight. Lets hope all goes well.
