In the not too far future I will be switching to full slicks for the track and keeping the semi slicks for hill climb, targa etc............

Targa ?? I would have thought that car was too heavily modified to get registered, not so much the subie engine but the front end and other mods, but is that what you are intending ?

NTsuperbug wrote:Oil Issues...... I am going to put a large external oil cooler with extra long lines for more capacity as this thing only holds about 4 litres which isn't enough when driving hard.....
In my experience that is totally unnecessary. On a 35d day after 15 minutes around Eastern creek flat chat I can only get my oil temp to 90d max. i made my own shortened sump that holds 6 litres of oil rather than the factory 4.5litres. External coolers only leads to more things that can go wrong on the track, also, don't use super thin oil I use 15/60 Penrite.
Hope this helps

Thanks mate for the pics...... we figured out that the sump I have can and will hold around the 7 litre mark just the dipstick wasn't modified to suit the sump....

The new ACL bearings ordered and will be here on Friday along with the Gaskets so will be putting back together on the weekend....

Was putting back the rotating assembly together when a Rod bolt stretched and snapped........ Picking up new ones tomorrow morning. Case back together oil pump on pistons in (Except number three as I need access through the bore to put the rod bolts in.... ) Should have it back together over the next couple nights.

The Cars coming along well. Looking good in white with sponsor decals. Good to see the Aboriginal flags next to your name too. I am aboriginal dubber aswell, i have a flatt black Superbug that im building for street/track orientated and i was thinking of having flags next to my name for racing too. Do you live in NT or Brisbane?

Those targets seem achievable haha.....

Hi Dylan, I am originally from Katherine NT but now live near Dayboro (Brisbane) where abouts are you from? The flags definitely turn heads too soon to tell what reaction it creates.

I had it out about 5 weeks ago at Lakeside and did the big end bearing in so she is now rebuilt and should have it out again soon!
