DC,DC you have really hurt my feelings now. Talking about hitting below the belt!

My reference to your predeliction for liquid substances from Bunnings must have hit home I think.

Hey Mick. When I put the new Etec on the back of the Lancer, everyone said what do you want to put a new motor on that thing for.
3 years down the track it ain't a new motor any more but still looks great.
It's a great feeling to have a brand new motor pushing you along.
Ancious to see the photos.

Hey Mick. When I put the new Etec on the back of the Lancer,
Frank

Frank was there alot of work in modifying the boot on your Mitsubishi Lancer ??? & how much clearance did you have to give the prop so as it wouldn't hit the road :rolling laughter:

Kidding Frank knew what you meant

Mick !

Yep there's nothing like having a new motor look after it & it will last you a long time trouble free, I got 12 odd years out of my Yammy 2 strokes without a ounce of trouble.

When you're running it in no probs driving it hard under load just dont REV it out cause that will damage the motor.

Another thing DONT do what I see alot of peeps do @ the boat ramps & rev the crap out of their motors to warm them up again reving not under load can & will cause damage.

Oh yeah I have a Q ???

Does your missus know you purchased a new motor or are you hiding the boat from her ??? :rolling laughter:
