OMFG!!!!! :o

Was looking into this myself... lots of controversy out there... Cans seem to be OK if it's just for venting the heads... crank case seems to be a bit more of an issue. Sorry if the following is a teaching-granny-to-suck-eggs job but hopefully it's useful: When cruising (ie manifold under vaccuum/ not boosting) there's a valve (PCV system - plenty info on google, not just scoobys) under the throttle body that sucks the gases out of the crank case. Under boost, the gases are sucked into the turbo inlet... in both cases that means the engine ingesting a (hopefully but no necessarily) small amount of oily air - clearly this aint great for knock resistance! However, trying to vent the crank case is useful as it improves piston ring seal assuming sufficient suction/ vaccuum can be acheived... clearly a catch can is kinda passive so this ain't gonna work for the crank case. Better than nothing re oil catching perhaps, but far from perfect. Air-Oil separators seem to be popular, especially those than plump onto the oil filler cap (Pro-R/ Tomioka, Prova, Grimmspeed etc) - they have a classy, stock look to them, but again they don't fully solve the crank venting issue. Crawford Performance's one seems well engineered but it's not really any better by the sounds of things. What does work? Dry sump anyone? Bottom line - catch can fine for heads... less so for crank case... and as ever, better solutions aint cheap!

Worrying that my MPG improves in town!!! Good man Al! Wish all patients were as dedicated!!!

lol... didn't spot the pics after this one straight off... thought it was looking a bit "Emperor's new clothes" *chuckle*

Brings a whole new meaning to "YER GONNAE GET A DOO-ING!!!"

That include a certain convoy of scoobs?

Hod on a minute... is that SLIDING CALIPERS I see behind them wheels? No 4WD... no scoop... no turbo... AND NOW NO DECENT BRAKES!!!!

Nice one Blake

Thought this was a new take on octane booster Davey!!!!

Lol Might just go get some popcorn!!!! Don't mind the rest of us! *lol*

Still needing a pax then? That'll be cosy... Me... the wife... the dog... AND the Dave...

Nae worries! Plenty help on here... it's mostly all been done before *chuckle*

Bitz are the chaps "up there" that'll do a Murtaya build IIRC... no?

Lol.

Calipers should be fine... strip-down might be best to be certain and new seals and stainless pistons are probably gonna help. Parts can be sourced on eBay etc and any competent mechanic should be able to do the stripdown (sorry... dunno if you're allergic to spanners or not... I am!!!) That said, if you're gonna up the power, you might wanna look for an uprated brake setup with brembo calipers etc... usual story - how deep is yer wallet! *lol* DBA discs are excellent quality but you'll pay for it. There are more discussions on discs and pad combos on this and other scoob forums than you can shake a wheelbearing at! Search engine is your friend Don't hear much on Janspeed on here... not that thats a bad thing. But theres decent kit on eBay/ Gumtree for not much coin. Happy hunting!

Welcome back from the shadows! P1... still want one!!!! That is a VERY large FMIC!!!! But looks like it's entirely necessary *lol*

If phil1967 is striking can we borrow his lorry? Park it on Skye or somesuch?

If you're getting front fogs, get grilles for 'em... they shatter like billy-oh!!!

Being daily driven with big brakes, I need an all round all weather tyre... can't see past Uniroyal Rainsport 2s. Excellent grip dry and especially wet, good wear and fairly quiet... not to mention sensible in the wallet department. Granted they aint racing slicks or Yokos for a track (I don't) but IMHO they're best bang for buck I've seen and driven. Tried Falken Ziex 912s... let's not go there!

I must advise in my professional capacity that knob problems do respond to appropriate treatment. I wouldn't suggest trying the Veet though! Tht's just plain hilarious!!!!!!

Have I not read about vinyl wrap falling off when the car innards get the old greenhouse effect on a hot day? Carbon.... Mmmmmm!

Just a wee thought... admitting to retaliating (albeit however justified ) and having your number plate in a pic on an open forum might be worth... considering... just in case of anyone doing research.

Hi Cat As Kenny says, well done for getting this up and running. If I might suggest you post up a date, time and meeting location with a list for folk to add their names to... experience unfortunately dictates that us scooby lot need hand-fed and poked with a stick when it comes to getting organised *chuckle* You have some awesome roads down your way! This should be a blast! Come on you lot!

Log a support ticket, chief. Kim'll sort you out. Need pics... and I rather suspect that grin of yours will get wider as time goes on... mod bug is VERY catching!!!
