  1. Tsk tsk Freeze. Actually I can't talk . On my 1 week off from training. Normally try to get a week off every few months. Seems to help, I think haha! Returning on Saturday gonna go for a 200kg dead lift at 80kg
  2. Ratter is correct. However I'm certain Mal and ace created a opt 3 rated clutch that fits the t5z box aswel. Don't think it's on par with the 3+ but its a perfect option incase the box poo's itself or you are looking to put in a t56 in the future Honestly the ace clutches are great. Anyone her changing from stock to a ace clutch would highly! Recommend them and anyone changing from a extreme clutch to a ace clutch would recommend it even more so. 5$ if you contact extreme and ask them the power holding capabilities of that clutch you will be disappointed to say the least. I also bet I won't come with a alloy csc.. So by the time you purchase that too ( see we're I'm getting at haha)
  3. You guys are gonna need a Terry on e85 with 23 in the mid to powerskid to soccer practice Congrats!
  4. FA F6??? Farken Arrgly F6 ? haha don't paint the droopy hooker mascara and it would probably look sexy!
  5. Bionic is a ford mechanic mate haha. Being still under warranty you unfortunately have to just bite the bullet and trust that your ford dealer knows what they are talking about
  6. Hell no! All mine Have to be selfish with a babe like that
  7. Mrs took me out to a surprise picnic with pizza and chocolate and all the tasty stuff. Then she takes me home to play halo 4 Luckiest fella on earth haha!
  8. So he done this? Or you did? I hope you have witnesses. I'm no lawyer but that may be enough to get him to fork out for repairs. Coupled with incorrect cam timing and coolant leaks its probably likely it all contributed to premature bearing failure
  9. Driveline clunks are normally from the diff bushes mate. The centre bearing, tail shaft cv and donut coupling can also contribute to the noise. I'd advise on getting a quote to do them elsewhere. It cost me less than 100$ cost price for my centre diff bush (the main culprit) and just a couple hours to instal ( workshop + tools and hoist available)
  10. Built this bar to sell. Can't sell It coz too farken big. Shoulda made a grandfathers clock -_-
  11. ^ need new mechanic? 3-4 hours with the correct tools ( spring tool, air line adapter, cam locks, electric rattle guns etc etc) and experience 4-5 hours without the correct tools and a bit of experience 5 hours + without correct tools and no valve train experience
  12. Don't think my Boss woul be very Impressed haha. Plus I live In the country. Postage will end up the same or more expensive
  13. Thanks man!, Ill get them cheaper than that through work though
  14. Yes the Detroit Locker is a very appealing bit of kit. I will more than likely go down that route when more money is on tap
  15. Bahahaha just got my quote back from ford. Cost price $1100 for new clutch pack and seals. Scatterbrain I shall Pm you when I get home to a PC If anyone else knows about sourcing shims or clutches please post away
  16. Hey gents. My LSD is now a Late model camira spec single pegging machine. I'm not made of money so I was wondering who here has rebuilt there diff? What options are available? I'm either thinking new clutch packs or perhaps reshimming to improve the initial break away torque. Labour is no issue but if you gents have some prices and perhaps places to source parts that would be greatly appreciated. Car is BA Mk1 turbo sedan Thanks in advance, Dave
  17. Yeah I don't curl either. Basically don't do any arm stuff. My whole weekly routine consists of Deadlift. Sumo dead lift high pull. Back squat. Front squat to push press. Power clean. Power snatch. Full snatch and full clean. Bench press and bent over rows. Sometimes pull-ups and push-ups to mix it up. Don't like isolated movements IMHO they seem like a waste of time, could be burning heaps more calories in less time.
  18. Look good for the mrs? Nah haha I just enjoy fitness and lifting heavy sh*t.
  19. My falcon does this too. I've got mondayitis and for the life of me can't remember what it's called.( supposed to be a mechanic lol) Anyway 95% of the time it requires replacement of this little climate control box behind the dash which can be upwards of 500$ just for the part. I simply installed a switch inline to flick it on or off when I need it. $3 is much better alternative than 500 plus
  20. Feeling like the odd one out. Don't take any form of powder or pill or anything. Food get in mah belly. Much more satisfying
  21. I dunno my boss sourced them. Supposed to be xr8 springs ill get the part number when I eventually return to work. They would of fit but being that much shorter and didn't feel much stronger I wasn't gonna risk changing all 24 especially with the rather average valve spring tool I had. Had photos going for a tutorial too
  22. Nek minnit wrong valve springs. Way too short. Prob be fine but not risking doing it all twice
  23. Was supposed to be sarcastic : sure you are? Or: you sure are? deciphering fast typing fails isn't my strong suite lol Edit: Read fail derp
  24. Half way through pulling my rocker cover off to do valve springs. Long night ahead :/
