Deja vu.

I've read good things about Graham's tuning in the USA and also of how some of his 400WHP tuned stock engine cars and 25psi stockers are failing after 10-20,000 kms. But that's seems to be a usual thing in the USA, when you tune an STI you have to pop the oem engine before getting any kind of street cred.

As a sidenote - I will never trust my car to a guy who is named "Graham Gaylord" !
yes thats his last name.

it was interesting to see the strip down of his own motor after the power out put it had. No damage if I recall.

So Gents & those unsure Caitlin Jenner's,
Heard today Gordon's car is running just fine.. Consuming oil like 98% of 2.5lt's out there, but no issues..

Yes he is having another engine built to go full E85 path, but is about building a fully sik motorz...
So Nick's prediction of nothing wrong with the ca,r has come true...

Aside from the bullshit talk, there has been some good, healthy & edecated discussion greater than 1 car, 1 tune, 1 tuner!!

I dunno, I think I smell bullshit to this.

RJ999999 says he saw him in Vic Park and he was all sad about blowing his motor....

Can't have jesus as a tuner, what would legal threats to jesus be like....

Anyway it's crap to be debating this on his thread while his engine is out of action...I think we should let him be and hopefully he'll be back once he's recovered from this with an open mind. Anyone here saying I told you so won't help him right now, I think he's realised this by now and knows where it went into the danger zone.

Must be said that a tune running 350hp on a stock my08 block with so much boost was always going to result in this.

All very strange.

A mate has driven the car & says its fine, also compression test shows its fine..
Yes Gordon does believe it is on its way out, but not 'gone'.. Somewhat hence the new block...

In reference to RJ..
I remember a time:
http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/non-wrx-...74-fed-up.html

Do you not have anything better to do Matt? Move the F&%k on dude....
