Hi guys,
I have had some major drammas with my new leggy.
it is 2001 black manual sourced from NZ with the eyes and driving of Brad (thanks again mate)
Anyway since getting it towards the end of last year I have spent a shit load on it to get it how I wanted it and fun to drive.
FMIC
18 inch rims
custom leather
Full 3inch exhaust and dumps
HKS panel filter
and now the brain and probs Link G4 ECU
When the Link was put, the car got badly overheated, as LINK did not recognise the fan so up went the temp on dyno and my first drive up the end of street.
Resulting from was head gasket gone - So I decided to do water pump, all belts, gaskets, idlers etc at the same time as I didn't know the car.
Got the car back made 196KW but shit until 4rpm (not your normal leggy)
So took it back again and found that the head is cracked!!! So a full head overhaul is now going to happen.
Despite nearly having a new engine at the end of all this.. Does anyone know if our cars overheat bad enough to crack the head - as in my case, does this also effect the block??
Cheers
Cam
