I did something similar with the RX8 but that had specific maintenance nozzles on each rotor housing. I filled a 2ltr 7up bottle with a "mixture" of water and WD40, cut a holt in the lid and fed a tube through that and taped it up to make it airtight.

Then connected the other end to the nozzle, started up the engine and let the water/WD40 get sucked out by the engine.

Howld on a second here boss. You "mixed" water and water displacer, and then ran it through the engine? Is it any wonder rotary engines need rebuilds :pac:

Coffee shouldn't relax you, but if you treat it like a comfort thing then I can see why.
Your clearly addicted, as long as its decent coffee and not Nescafé freeze dried instant muck!

Not entirely true. Caffeine effectively boosts your dopamine (aka reward) levels, which could easily cause someone to feel more relaxed.

On motor related news, genuinely what is the craic with the Dublin motortax office still going through tax and licence applications sent in on the 10th of Jan what the flip.
All I wanna do is pay my tax and be done!

From what I've heard, the MTO's were rolling out the new licenses from around the 10th or 12th of the month, despite all media saying the 19th. I wouldn't be surprised if that's whats causing the backlog

^^^^

What did I say?

@ pred, all I remembered was something to do with brakes, them needing to be dual rather than single? and that they were brembo.

Dont mind that pair, they have obviously been at the sweeties again:D
And they know their cars will never be as beautiful as ours :cool:

Yeah, they are 2pot brembos on the front, I can only find a refurb kit for a single piston caliper.

Supergurrier · 24-01-2013 9:50pm

Lads odd question, lowering springs or rear diffuser first ?

Have some extra money next week and getting some Team Heko wind deflectors and one or the other, rprings will work out over a hundred quid more but it's one or the other

Springs are functional and improve the looks. Where exactly is the diffuser placed and um.. why? The ST already has a specific sport diffuser and spoiler doesnt it?!

For all of the extra downforce and decreased drag at 240km/h ofc :pac:

I'm guessing it'd be the RS diffuser, and cos it looks good. Same with the CSL diffuser for E46's

Supergurrier · 24-01-2013 11:24pm

Nah it's exactly like the one above but i like em
