    had a new pioneer head unit put in the missus forester with matching 6.5 inch splits in the front and 6 inch coax in the doors Click here to enlarge

    sounds pretty good.

    Astra got a wash and a price drop.

    Leak Down Results:

    Standard compression 142-171 psi, any difference in compression between cylinders should be no more than 7psi.

    Cyl 1 - 125
    Cyl 2 - 125
    Cyl 3 - 120
    Cyl 4 - 100

    Inspected spark plugs and found evidence of coolant burning. Coolants pressure test found to lose 20psi over 5 mins of sitting, not holding pressure.
    Suspect head gasket leaking.

    My car has been doing this for over a year now but never thought anything of it until it started eating oil in the last 10,000kms.
    The cause is most likely that the boost is just too high for standard head studs.

    Sad panda, still managed a 13.06 last week at willowbank raceway with 202kw at all 4 paws.

    Might actually do a small build, forgies, rods, acl bearings, closed deck, sleeves, 14mm studs, valve springs, camshafts

    then later down the track when I have money again, get front mount and bigger turbo.
