  1. Sounds sensible to me, Spiro.
  2. WHats the weather going to do I wonder.. Are we go for tomorrow night if the rain stays away?? Those Gated sequential shifts are BRUTAL..
  3. Yeah its that middle pic, just looks funny. I`m still peeling from that Maxi Flat white with the 6 shots of coffee in it.
  4. Is the front of the rocker cover bent? Hola crack you must have given that wall a pizzling.. Kyle said AAMI? lol wonder if they`ll ask you to take your bidnez elsewhere.. I`ve heard of them doing that.
  5. Looks great, eagerly awaiting final outcome.
  6. Mate, you`ll get everything from bring into the laundry every night to place a brick on the throttle. It`s your car, go with what you feel comfortable with.
  7. Then what happened? I just grunted and went back to my private thinking place where she was... um.. nvm..
  8. SOme mornings, I buy a Maxi Flat White with an extra shot from the BP WIld Bean. Really gets that bicep in the jaw flexing :D This arv I finished work early due to impending storms, so I go buy one as a speshul treat. The chick says " so, you wanna extra shot in that maxi flat white? it already has 5 shots, that`ll be a total of SIX shots, is that okay? " WTF are you, biatch? My Mother? So I`m like ya mang, extra shot.. gimme.. The other morning the chick behind the counter was whirling thru about 4 orders and lost control breifly and hoyed some sh!t at me! She was like ooooh did I throw somethink at shoo??
  9. I use auto glym, its awesome. I`ve used the Ultra Deep Shine and its great, the Super Resin Polish is quite good I`ve been told. The interior stuff is friggin fantastic. The Hi Definition Wax is so good you can`t buy it anywhere.. I`ve tried several shops over a 60klm area. The Aqua wax would quite okay I`m sure.
  10. R-Spec my car was way worse than that and they fixed it.
  11. Yuck... Hope the weather doesn`t ruin the party this saturday..
  12. Air bag sensor looks like it didn`t cop enough impact to deploy. I`d be thinking it didn`t need too, looking at the pics. Either way I`m interested in those front wheels Kyle!!! Or one front and the spare? Its still a shame, that was a nice car. Bring on that Force 6.
  13. Scroll up and click the WHOLESALE SUSPENSION part of Senna T`s sig when you want to buy, or get advice.
  14. That car is a celebrity Jay, the kids love it.
  15. Surprisingly it does. cars actually sound better straight out the header than if you have several feet of exhaust pipe on the end with no mufflers. Just from what I learned playing with paddock bashers and what not. A good exhaust has so many advantages. A compromise exhaust will always be just that.
  16. Jeeeeez, I reckon I`d wait till it got properly cool. God himself only knows what that car is capable of. Running tens is a finite thing.. You can only do so many. If it`ll run what it did the other night, what would it do on a 12 degree night? ACK!
  17. Saturday is good! I have a real, pain in the arse job that requires me to get up early. Wednesday nights at the drags suck arse for me. But I still do it.
  18. Its pretty striaght forward. You`ll sweat buckets on a hot day. Couple clues: Number one, undo the sway bar end links and twirl swing the bar back out of the way. The control arm won`t travel far enough to let the strut and coil come out no matter how much you swear at it if this isn`t done.. Second clue is after you undo the sway bar end links and jack the car up and remove one or both front wheels, loosen that centre nut that attaches to the strut rod up in the engine bay there. I said LOOSEN don`t remove it all the way. Just get it slack. Major pain in the ring if you don`t get it loose while its there captive. Third clue have something to sit the caliper on like a 2 gallon bucket upside down when you remove it. I`ve seen guys use a bungie cord also. Either way, don`t let the caliper hang on the brake line. Be carefull with the wires for the ABS. Be farkin carefull with spring compressors. It`s all fun till someone has an eye out, isn`t it?
  19. The ONLY! time my car is driven out of my sight without the Valet tune is when Bullpitt takes it to the tuners for me. Valet is the best thing ever.
  20. Seriously?? Loud as fark and really farty and.. its hard to describe. Like farting thru a digeridoo.
  21. U2514 VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL MISSING OR INCORRECT Ahhh.. Check your ABS wires, speed sensors. I`ve heard guys say its the battery on its way out that causes it. Occaisonally I`ll get some of the reported symptoms of this, my ABS and T/C lights come on. I just turn the car off, and hold my tongue in my mouth just right when I turn it back on and its all good. My Battery is new. However the car sits all week, only driven on weekends.
  22. Okay I`ve wanted to do this for a while. I had to get my tools out to fix a fuel leak in Bullpitts car so I thought why not? I used: An inch and three sixteenths ( 1 - 3/16 ) socket, half inch drive ratchet for the filler plug. A 15 mm Ring - open ender for the drain bolt A suction pump to put the oil in ( see pics) I put the car up on jack stands, it has SSL`s and even my spoofy lowered car ramps won`t go under the rear on flat ground. Next time I`ll do it on the slope of the driveway and get the diff more level. On the stands it wasn`t too bad but a smidge of oil stays in the diff. No biggie. First pic shows what you`re up against with sedan versus Ute.. That barge arse IRS cradle. Access is restricted somewhat. Next pic shows you the Filler plug, mine was`nt real tight at all eh. As stated it was 1-3/16`s socket. The drain bolt is obviously at the bottom of the diff rear hat, that's the alloy cover, and it seems to be the only one that's 15mm, the others are smaller. Whip that out and have your receptcle handy. It`s only 2 litres or so so it doesn`t roar out. Go check the forums for some internet argueing while it drips out for a while, beverage or sanga would be optional. Here`s what I bought for the job. The oil was.. I forget how much you`ll have your brand you`ll wanna use. The suction pump is a famous Toledo ( says so on the box eh ) brand and cost me the princely sum of 29.99 at Supercheap. Now.. I poured what came out into a milk bottle, I put that amount back in with the suction pump, it didn`t run out the filler hole but I inserted my lil finger ( settle ) and it was right there. If you wanna put a tad more in and have it run out by all means be my guest. Here`s what came out, it wasn`t too black, it`s just the residue of oil changes past and grass and sh!t from the drain pan sitting behind the shed. Put every thing back on the way it was when you removed it, including the diff tag. One day in 40 years some hapless schmuck will be restoring you car and thank his lucky stars its there. Maybe.
  23. Spiro, when is the next assault? I offer my services as staging lane pusher. I won`t run my car again: A / Winter B / Some changes are made.
  24. My stock rears were slightly stubborn. However I found by trimming about 2 inches of the thread of my compressors I could have the socket heads at the bottom and after that it was a portion of urine. As stated above, SSL`s just fall out
  25. Things may well have changed and a ute could be the deciding factor, but back in the day I don`t recall anyone I knew found sleeping it off in a car with the keys on them or anywhere near them who didn`t get pinged for it. Mind you back then, it wouldn`t have been " I`m a bit over, I`ll sleep it off " It`d have been: " mang, om thash pished I carn fargon see.. "
