At least you know where it all goes now. It'll give you something to move forward with.

How bent is your axle? My car tramped at the drags a while ago and it tore all of my stock diff bushes and I suspect that is what bent my driver side axle. I did replace the diff bushes with superpro polylast afterwards and maybe that could have bent it on the road due to greater shock loading. I didn't notice it until much later and it didn't affect the drivability either.

All good man. I know all about putting off annoying little jobs. The only problem is they add up and turn into annoying big jobs. Are you any good at brazing? You could make it work with some bits and pieces.

Haha I knew I should have taken those pics. Brb. Ok so you can see that it runs straight down and around the front of the turbo ust under the intake and terminates in a pipe under the ps pump.

Ok I took a few pics from the turbo to where it attaches over the other side under the thermostat housing. I'll post them in order and the last one is looking from the back of the car to the front.

If you can't get hold of a stock hard line you could make a hard line fairly easily if you have a pipe flaring tool and the other tools/parts you need. I can take some pics for you sometime if you want to see how all the stock stuff looks.

Time to update that sig then ay?! Heh I spose if it works it works. Is the hose still flexible?

I guess if you're only running 7 psi it doesn't get as hot. It still looks melty though

It does look a bit melty. I've seen my turbine housing and part of the manifold glowing red a few times. Haha I wrote that before I saw your last post jet.

I'm glad you did that mate cos you need to look after yourself first. It obviously was something that was/is bothering you and that can lead to resentment and wasted time if not dealt with. Remember that although you have spoken you mind and "the ball is in her court", you can still decide what is best for you. You seem to be a switched on dude and have your sh*t sorted. Needless to say, don't let anyone lead you into misery or empty pockets. Keep your head up man and keep sight of your own goals. Fwiw I don't mind waking up early too much as long as I have 6 hours sleep or so.

Don't you love it when your missus rolls over and boots you at 3am then that's you awake for the day? It's not all bad though, once again I get 3 or 4 hours of quiet time

Fingers crossed my car has gotten over it's breaking down streak. I can baby the trans and still have fun.

I just drove the missus car to the servo to get some milk and petrol. I gave it some stick and holy crap is it slow compared to my car. It must have a whopping 70 to 80 front wheel kw. On the plus side I couldn't get the average economy over 8.5L/100km.

Yep. Not much point going on a Ford cruise without a Ford.

Hi Hey if anything else on my car/cat/house/kids breaks before the cruise I won't be able to fix it cos of the millions per week I have to spend on my kids. I'm actually taking my cat to the vet tomorrow. I can use my missus lancer but I was thinking that maybe I can get a ride with you instead if my car goes to sh*t?

Hey k31th

That's $433 a week per kid. That's $1735 for 4 kids. I can tell you that I don't spend that much on my kids and aren't ever likely to.

I'm pretty sure my xr6 cost more than my wife and kids combined!

Yep ya gotta love early starts. Anyways I'm off to mow the lawn/dirt.

Morning. Late night? I was so tired yesterday from waking up at 3:30am that I went to bed at 7:30pm last night and slept through to 7:00am this morning. I think another coffee is in order cos one doesn't seem to have jump started my batteries.

Good idea. You can't really do too much with a ba anyway without spending more money than is sensible.

Lol just strap on your f6 stuff. You should get around the block at least.

I think I'd rather have your car atm cos there ain't no cheap way of getting a gearbox or driveline that won't break.

Haha I wish. A few little things will be fixed like the bearings etc but the box is hating life so I won't be able to give it too much sh*t. It'll still be faster than k31ths car though

My car has decided to sh*t itself again. Just today the drivers side rear wheel bearing collapsed.
