That was a typo on my behalf guys....

Its a 0W/40 not a 10W/40.

Which on paper suggests that its thinner than the 5W/30 but in reality doesn't seem to be.

So far it feels better in the hot conditions and feels more linear in lift.

As for cold starts it seems the same. Mine still runs like a dog until its built up oil pressure. From day one it always refused to move without putting on a drama within the first couple of minutes.

Not sure if this is a characteristic of the engine, or the way mine has run in. Either way, it gets idled for about 5 mins before it moves anywhere anyways....

Hey guys,

Like everyone else (except Robbie) i havent been on for a while (well a long while)......

Anyways, i am now finished for the year and will be in Canberra until Boxing Day so give us a buzz and we will catch up....after Boxing Day i am flying to Brisbane and return on the 6th to start back at work on the 9th...

Cheers

[selyaT]

Count me in whenever.

My work schedule isn't concrete this time of the year so give me a buzz when something's going down and I'll most likely be able to sort something out.

It will be good to get everyone together again.

(who's free Thursday night, December 21?)

[mick0082]

Long run of silence here boys!

Just thought i'd attention you all to the "spotted" section of the forum.

I still can't believe it, but I saw this in my travels this evening.

Hope to catch you all soon.

Mickism,

That is the Domino's pizza hatch from the Weston Creek store (just down the road lol). Fella I know manages the store (180sx owner w. SR20 etc) and grabbed a tivo and echo as the delivery cars. They met me one night at a set of lights and proved the theory to them that if they know how to shift they'll be very suprised lol. Some of the guys had no idea what the 2zz was capable of haha.

We will do something soon guys. I'm in the process of going into temp work in the government, so I'll be taking a few weeks off in the transition period. It's going to be action time then for sure.

I'm very frustrated with life atm, and with work in particular (always at work and no time for car), so i'll have to make the time myself to finally bring the sportivo to life. I need another holiday badly :(

[fad]

I finally got my rear sway bar installed. Those bolts were pretty tight, and I finally borrowed a torque wrench to do them back up with. :)

The ride is pretty good now. I had my eye on those other trd sportivo springs and shocks, but they are sold now.

It wasn't THAT expensive...

I've got a more down-to-earth budget setup which was all DIY (I'm technically still a P-plater too so low budget), you'll see that too no doubt...
