Fair enough, I don't expect the details but the title of the thread makes it sound like he was 'forcefully' removed as opposed to 'chosen' to take a break. I just feel a bit left out. :'( Peter rocks.

Can someone tell me why Pete's not here? I must have missed that thread??

I agree 100%. There are a few people on here that love slagging others who might know less than them about a particular subject. It's their way or your wrong pretty much. I doesn't need to be like that. Just cause you've had a bad day or your missus is cranky at you doesn't mean you can get on here and wreck someone else's day.

I'll let you know Lurch. Hopefully heading to the drags this weekend. I noticed Peter Mac has upgraded his?

So your saying the original items are fine and there is no need what so ever for the billet items that all those companies make? We're not talking about standard L series engines here Lurch

From my experience in welding up cracked heat treated steel (some, but not very much), a second crack will develop on the edge of the weld where the strength has been lost from the heat of the weld. I'm sure there are ways to get around this such as heating the steel up with an oxy, then welding it then quenching it or something. Since you've swapped to another one anyway, why dont you experiment with the cracked one by welding some angle or RHS or Box section to the bar to give it some added torsional strength, hopefully more than the spring steel added initially. If you're just going to chuck it out, send it to me and I'll do it. My torque is distributed more evenly through the revs rather than a big slap in the face like yours would.

Well said.

Usually its the other way around...... oh hang on, are we still talking about cars?

You're so gunna be hurting when you get your first battle scratch on that, let alone put it into a tyre wall or something. Go hard or go home.

What a cake Hard to get those body curves right at the best of times. You're a great bloke Lurch. For every time you've got your knickers in a twist at someone on here, you've probably helped out ten people behind the scenes. Have a good one.

Mate, go hard or go home. You've hit the ground running with this build, good on you. You're not the first ricer that's gone 'ol school' thats for sure.

I can't help but I'm interested to know the answer. I've also got a 15/16 master and my brakes are terrible.

Is that a baby monitor? Were you changing jets while on parent duty........ we've all been there Opps I just watched the start and you mention the monitor. I just scrolled to the end like you said to do in your post.

Looks awesome Peter. There must be more XF throttle bodies on other cars, then there are ford falcons these days. Oh and wont the air come out of those holes in the bottom of the plenum chamber?????

5th to the 7th is good for me. I haven't heard about any life vest changes. When are you picking up the Stang?

Nice work Scott. When am I taking you fishing/crabbing to show me some spots???

Tell me about it, I keep clicking on this expecting to hear it running

Yeeeeeeah I know. But if someone was to show some interest in it, I'd play along.

Oh trust, me he was babying that pretty hard. Need to see a 'balls out, not interested in the best time' run.

Use a torch...........

Just joking man, good luck with the hunt.

Yes, you should have. Cheers
