Project 180sx: December 2010
http://project180sx.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 13, 2010. I guess I have some explaining to do! The decision for me to sell my car may have seemed quite sudden, but as I've explained to a number of people lately it has been a drawn out and lengthy decision making process that has caused me quite a bit of angst over the last few months. I've always said that deciding between 2 race cars is a great problem to have, but that doesn't mean it's not difficult! The car that started all of this confusion is this:. As much as I'll miss the 180...

Project 180sx: October 2009
http://project180sx.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 29, 2009. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Taken by Will Stark at the Winton day: http:/ www.pbase.com/willstark/image. Tuesday, October 13, 2009. 180 wasn't ready again, so I took the STi to Winton instead. Vid of the last session I ran:. The car ran faultlessly all day and makes me wonder why I bother with the 180 sometimes. Anyways, the 180 has a dodgy headgasket, so another is on the way (the third). Have entered Sandown on the 31st so it had better be ready. Some pics from the day:.

http://project180sx.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Few video's from the last WRX/SAU day at Haunted Hills in the STi where I won my class. Finally got under that 60sec lap time with a 59.38. Previous best was 60.9, with the only change being swaybars. Feeling more love for this car. less love for the 180. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ www.youtube.com/user/phunky89.

Project 180sx: November 2009
http://project180sx.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 13, 2009. From bad to worse. Well a slight gearbox noise has turned into a $1080 bill for new bearings, new second gear synchro and some other bits and pieces. Thursday, November 12, 2009. So, it turns out the sleeves have dropped slightly in the cylinder causing the leak. Because the head was decked last time i was off, but the block was not decked with it there is a slight variance and apparently not uncommon when removing the head for the first time in a sleeved alloy block.

Project 180sx: May 2010
http://project180sx.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Well the engine has come back from being pressure tested and has come back with a pass, which is good news. This means the sleeves are ok, and we can continue with decking the head and block, linishing the crank, cleaning up the head, replacing the scored cams, resizing the rods and then hopefully put it back together. I'm not happy about having to pay for this all over again, but I just want it completed now! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
