How do you know you had a blown head gasket from day dot? You should post a vid up of how she goes now

we're down on power plus the motor seemed to over heat and run hot since day dot.
now with the new head it runs mint and keeps temp mint now and the turbo sounds like its working
great.

Just had old door skins redone using new backs.
The guy that did this made a great job considering I thought
they where fucked.
Also ripped head off and found a blown head gasket
so, new gasket and a new Oval ported A14 head on and BOOM
we have power and the turbo now works.
So I took it for a quiet drive down the road ( Yeah Right ) and found it's making
plenty of power now.
Cant wait for a track day !!
Next project is Camber and Brakes with a new strut brace.

Wow, those door skins turned out real nice! Hope we can see this going if there is a track day just before Akaroa (since I'll be there to see it)

Keep up the nice work!!

Ok four door at chamberlains getting the front sorted, camber plates in from toy shop engineering,
New springs and adjustable platforms, S13 Silvia disks and calipers, new brake pads and sunny caster arms with sunny struts and new shocks so she should now stop and go round corners quicker.
Pick it up on Saturday.

Btw, who did you get your door cards done by? I need mine redone once I do the seats to match...

1200 still looks sick too. Can't wait to see it again in October if you're gonna be running round the track
