well it seemed that the headgasket had gone
yes i tried to re use the $550 tomie one that was only a few months old but didn't seem to work
so i used the head gasket that been lying around the shed for the last 3 years from my gasket kit, torqued the head down to 100nm,
put water in it, backed it out onto the road and it proceeded to do a skid
so seems to be fixed for now

well it's been a while since i've updated this
well the car got painted again, as it was rushed last year for powercruise,
so 2 weeks before powercruise we do what we always do up here and try and get everything finished
car got tuned on the friday and made a health save 234 rwkw on 17psi
car was great on the track so great it ripped teeth of the centre pinion on the diff
other than that it was great here are some photo's

well peoples after many many years as u can see i've finally got the car running well and managed an 11.672 at 117.8mph on Saturday night
I know that's not as fast as alot of people are going, but between my friends and a limited budget i've got there, the car was only making around the 300hp mark on the dyno 2 hours before it ran an 11.8 of the trailer.
this is also with the same NA bottom end i've had for the last year!
I'm hopping founds permitted that i can get the auto rebuilt so i can use the transbrake and hopfully pull a couple of 100's of a second off and maybe get an 11.2 - 11.3 out of it it's doing a 1.8 60 ft at the moment, hoping to get that down to maybe a 1.6 power permitting
here's some photos
