  1. Maybe. I'll have to look. I'm having to top it up each time I drive it, can see coolant dripping from it when it gets a bit of temp in it.
  2. 8 month old dayco coolant tank leaking from its underside. That pisses me right off
  3. Oh I very much doubt I'd feel a difference going back to rubber. I just like the colour blue haha.
  4. Yes. Out came the welder for a few tack welds
  5. Should sway bars have much side to side movement? It would appear I need some spacers (which I unfortunately dont have) as the saddles are crushing the bush a fair bit, but what I have noticed are marks on the shockworks struts where the bar has been hitting. Swaybar links were replaced recently with ones from Wholesale Suspension. I thought I kept the old bushes which would have got me out of drama but it would appear I actually threw them out. Which is annoying because I am well known for hoarding sh*t.
  6. I'm pretty sure all FG wheels are one and the same. I'm having mine re done by a trimmer with some extra meat - should feel awesome
  7. Mmm I will check crush tomorrow when I jack it up. Truth be told I didn't even think of that.
  8. I have now replaced nearly every single bush in the G6E with superpro; fitted shockworks coilovers etc etc. Drives awesome. Except I have a problem. Every weekend for the last few I have found myself having to re grease the sway bar bushes. It doesn't matter if I grease them normally or smother the sh*t all over the Bush; it's fine until Thursday morning drove to work and by Fridays journey up the gutter to put the car away I'm cursing. I am thinking I'll go back to genuine if the consensus is they are just a noisy POS bush. Anyone been down this path before? I have done every single other bush in the front and rear with superpro excluding front shock lower mount - kept them rubber - and not a noise heard. I'm using genuine superpro grease too. Cheers.
  9. My knocks were upper control arm bushes which when replaced showed the upper ball joints were toast too. Pressing new bushes back out of old arms into new arms again was stupid. Now my lower control arm bushes are just about done. 150,000k maintenance stuff really. Have already had all bushes done in the rear Sent from my HTC_0P9C2 using Tapatalk
  10. That interior is mint Sent from my HTC_0P9C2 using Tapatalk
  11. Clint Stewart's SLOXR6 has run well into the 10s here in brisbane. I'll see if I can find the particulars. Still mta turbo matt?

    Did I read somewhere you changed the seat trims? Epic build dude.
  14. Gorilla ladders. Bloody heavy pains in the backsides. Bailey or Redback sooo much better. Assuming though these paid for by some other Mort or company so Gorilla is good Cos free
