Jack handle over the end of a spanner FTW! Malletting upwards with 15cm swing distance got me exactly half of nowhere. I think I'll build a pit into my new house when we design what to put on the lot we bought! hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up off Toodyay road man, only a few minutes from O'Brien hahhaha. Actually looked at a block on the north end of that loop as well but it's too far out, I needed something closer to work and this cuts about 5 mins off Once it's sorted I'll put proper pics up and all that Five acres. Won't be building for a year though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newl Guests Posted 12/09/11 12:22 AM Share Posted 12/09/11 12:22 AM The 5 acre blocks on the south side of Toodyay or did you go for something a bit more substantial?Speaking of the area, on my weekly tip run I saw heaps of Holdens out yesterday cruising around visiting Brock's corner on Clenton Rd, had a bit of a chat with some that were at the Shell station. Red versus blue aside, the man was indeed a racing legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and they rotate 180° for all those hard to reach teeth at the back of your mouth. Edited 12/09/11 05:07 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Donkey Dick Member 801 Member For: 14y 6m 10d Gender: Male Posted 12/09/11 06:22 AM Share Posted 12/09/11 06:22 AM Better off not attempting maintenance on the driveway if you don't have the correct tools. Ends up costing much more time & money than if you just took it to a professional straight away, or outlay for decent/correct tools in the beginning.Been there, done that.

Posted 12/09/11 07:58 AM Share Posted 12/09/11 07:58 AM Hey guys just wanted some advice on break pads. So I am getting some rda gold series dimpled and slotted series ( like aaron told me to ) But they were meant to come with ebc red pads but there arnt any in the country and could be about 3 months and there is not ebd greens either! So what are the next best pads to get? Keeping in mind im not a millionaire.Was thinking bendix HD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
