ugh, someone wrote on my roof with morning before 7:30am in the drew.
I dont know if i should be meger worried over this, because who ever did it have the guts to come into my yard and write that on my car. it also scratches the paint...

or just leave it.. and go on life pretending it never happend.

**Selva** · 2-4-08, 18:15

chances of it scratching is pretty minimal... just forget it...

and dion, did ya get the head faced??? if it's creamy already it means that A: Failure to torque head Down in correct order. B: Uneven Faces (head or block). or C: you have cooked it.

**tx5turbo** · 2-4-08, 21:54

im guessing option B lol.

A should be fine, he has done them before.
C well i have only driven it very locally, so I doubt it, but who knows.

Im not too fussed, ill get some pics, if anyone is interested its here, otherwise it can just sit out there until its looked at one day lol.

**Selva** · 2-5-08, 2:52

did you get the Head faced and warp checked??? could also be it, depends on how hot it got the first time (ie how you purchased it)

**tx5turbo** · 2-6-08, 1:09

no i didnt, I had the one on the 626 re-faced but this one we didnt because the head gasket had a hole in it! So because everything looked the way it did, He thought that a gasket replacement would be sufficient. Now i know they should be done, I was going to, but given the circumstances didnt seem neccecary, but, maybe it was!

**Selva** · 2-6-08, 1:59

never ever EVER put an alloy head back on without getting it faced... thats a definite NO... bad man, bad bad man... you should know that dion... it's only about $40 to get them faced and it takes them a day... looks like ya gotta start again... bad luck. so anyway, i still have the AS Turbo if anyone wants it, im going in like 3 weeks so i need it gone...

**Redmx_tx5** · 2-6-08, 3:55

how long are you gone for.

This SA chat is going to get very very empty soon!

**Selva** · 2-6-08, 4:15

roflol... i'll be gone for about 6 months... but i might be able to post once a week maybe... lol

**Redmx_tx5** · 2-9-08, 7:56

Selva, will a KE 2 door non tx3 fit on a KC 2 door tx3?

my gf drivers door is rooted and needs a new one, and upull it sell them for 45 bucks *heaps cheap?* so yeah they have no KC Tx3 and all the KCs are 4 doors.

but there are a few KE Two doors non tx3s down there

**Selva** · 2-9-08, 21:12

the only 2-door Laser thatare NOT a TX3 are the KA/B, however i still classify them as TX3's... so all KC/E/F/H 2-doors are TX3, no exceptions... as for the doors, the KE ones will fit on a KC TX3 4 doors will not...

**Redmx_tx5** · 2-9-08, 23:51

Good, since the fenders and lights are diffrent betwene the KC and KE i was then unsure about the doors.

Thanks Heaps Champ! And sorry i didnt make it to the cruise i tottaly forgot about it and then work called me up

epic fail.

hope you got photos?
