Haha pretty even looks like grahams cars baggin em hard the whole straight, although I don't doubt Gorans was as well...
And Troy nothing compares to the 4 day event. And there should be a couple more VL's finished their builds by then probably run some numbers and hitting the track to leave a few niggas up the front straight and chop some gaylord hitorque cars haha

Not much as long as you have a pro torque sticker up the side.

There's pro torque and hi torque
Hi torque do all the commodores
I wouldn't touch hi torque, but that's just me
And pro torque is booked solid, he just squeezed me in to get my car tuned
I haven't proved anything about the std 2j
It was a stupid mistake that killed this motor

What exactly was the problem with the oil pump you fitted?

It was the same oil pump that was on my motor that got killed by the above mentioned business at a dyno day
That day, number 6 was starved of oil and and was making its way thru the rest of the bigends
The oil pump hadn't been pulled apart and cleaned out since then, this happened last April
So it would have still been full of **** from my last motor which has obviously been sent thru this motor and killed it

It prob caught some of it but it won't catch everything
Btw we are just assuming it was that that caused this motor to knock, we will know for sure once I pull it out which will prob be this weekend
Who knows, it might be something completely different but we r 99% sure it was the oil pump

hate to say it but ur celica isnt the first car to go to petes and have oil pump failure. ive seen many cars end up on the tow truck after going there. unlucky to put in the hard yards and then get slapped in the face, best of luck for the future build, i'd have slit my wrists by now.
