Did you modify the AC line, or just heat it up and bend it so it sits closer to the strut tower?

Just bent it over with a couple lengths of pipe.

One near the firewall so the block didn’t move and the other elsewhere.

Are the images on your phone? If you have a iPhone. Use “picup”

Free app.

Uploads off your phone. Very very simple to use. Just upload them copy and paste the url to here.

Cheers all!

Loving it mate, yet to race it. Being a bit of a pussy about it haha. I’ll have to keep an eye out for a set of slicks.

 

Don’t be scared. Get some good tyres. Like M/T street radials. Accidents usually happen when someone is running crappy street tyres or they have a heck more horsepower.

All good. I understand these things take time and you’ve done a very good job so far.

I’ll check for a software update and restart my computer tomorrow. Just to rule that out.

Will give it a go on my phone to see how that goes as well.

Thanks.

Thanks Gary.

So i’ve discovered that using the [.img] tags only works on the Text side of the comment box.

[MichaelParticipant VY Calais 383ci GT42 turbo. View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 208]

Try it again, but goto the Text button on the right side of this box and enter it on that side.

How you liking the power with it now? Raced it yet?

[MichaelParticipant VY Calais 383ci GT42 turbo. View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 208]

Royal Purple or Penrite. Would be my two picks of brands.

I use Penrite 10w-50, technically because mine has re-honed bores and new pistons, it’s new like yours. Instead of comparing your new motor with something with over 100thou clicks.

Hi Georgie,

Thanks for all the hard work you have put in. Good to hear it was done on a Mac as well.

I am using Safari.

I first typed up all my info in MS Word, then copied and pasted. It came up as a fair big mess. I just deleted all the code which fixed it.

Then I moved onto the images and videos.

Hi Michael, This is Georgie, Gary’s daughter and the person who built the website <img class=”wp-smiley” src=”http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif” alt=”:)” /> There shouldn’t be a problem with Macs on the whole, the site was built on my Macbook so not sure why there’s a few glitches for you. What browser are you using? Is it that they are not opening at all? I’ll try giving it a whirl so I can work out why the buttons are giving you strife.

I was able to get the same error by clicking on the visual tab, inserting the image, and then going back to the text tab and clicking submit. If you just use the visual tab and submit, does this fix the issue?

I tried both ways, without switching to the other in between. So just Visual > button > submit or Text > button >submit

Embedding the link from youtube won’t work because for security purposes all HTML code is disabled and just appears in plaintext. I think this may also be why the img code on the text editor is throwing up that code. On the whole my advice would be to try forgetting the text editor is even there and just using the visual editor and see if that helps! In the meantime I will look into the button issue for you.

I don’t know enough about HTML code. When I try the images, I just copy and paste the links into the required fields.

 

Something else I just picked up is quoting the emoticons.

<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”><img class=”wp-smiley” src=”http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif” alt=”:)” /></span><span style=”line-height: 1.5;”> 

</span>

This is what comes up.

 

Sorry to be a pain, but this is also coming up after I submit or edit a post.

Keen to see how this goes with the blower.

I ended up posting the youtube url/link and that works.

 

But posting the url/link for an image did not.

Looking good but <img src=”http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif” alt=”:)” class=”wp-smiley”>

Dump pipe is wrapped now. AC should be fine… I hope.
