hey all jst wondering how much a new manifold gasket would be and if its hard to put in urself? because im getting a popping sound at high rpm from the cat/manifold area, also when i flog my car "5500 rpm in first" and then change to second it jumps maybe 3/4 times then takes off? i think this would be my clutch over heating and sticking yes? cheers ne help would be apreciated!

so if this was my manifold gasket, would it cause my car to loose a tiny bit of power and also make popping sounds from the manifold/cat when i decrease speed? and would it cause me my car to studder after i change from first to second at 5500rpm?

just turn up the sterio while driving it seems to always fix my cars. If the problem persists buy a better amp Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

mate, i think whats happening to your car is called KARMA... your treating ur engine like ****...its gonna ***** u over soon by dying in the ass. mate, as to why youd rev it past 5500 rpm is beyond me... the rb30e stops putting out power after 5000rpm... after that, all your doing is revving the tits off it and going begging for mercy... mate, like duz360 said, treat ur engine with some *****ing respect! .......some people......

lucky it was just a gasket. like some1 said b4, the VL Cam is useless after 4500 revs, its power output starts to decrease after this point so your better off changing.
