Targa ?
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 ?

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....

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

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.
