Checking out the Toolmart catalogue come across this.

Anybody got one/used one or any feed back?

Pressure bottles - I've got a few of them.

I bought one for putting new diff oil in. VERY useful... for me... but I'm doing diff oil enough times to make it worth having one.

I bought one for pressure bleeding brakes and one for servicing transmissions but haven't gotten around to actually using them yet.

The brakes one will be good if I get off my arse and sort out an adaptor to fit the Falcon brake fluid reservoir - that's the bit that you'l need to find to attach the bottle/hose to the brake fluid reservoir. T & E Tools have something suitable, but it's expensive.

The pressure bottle will then put pressure on the brake lines. Go release each brake nipple for a few seconds and brakes are flushed. At the moment I use speed bleeders everywhere and pump the pedal. Takes me 45 minutes to flush fluid and adjust the handbrake.

I've bought mine from Motive Products in the US - I buy stuff like that in the US and have it banked up at Shipito until I've got enough lined up to get repacked and sent to me.

GeGe6, let us know when u have the intake muffler delete out etc and what you're looking at chasing for it.

Also, random Q but not entirely off topic.
Can you fit a CAI or POD filter to the FG XR6T without requiring a tune put through the car?

Saw my car door tonight, wasn't the best lighting, so can't entirely tell until tomorrow.

The gloss they've put on looks good and blended with the rest of the car well, however the black underneath looked average to me. It's probably only a small strip about 4-5mm wide and about 4-5cm long, but seemed to be a bit different to the factory colour.

Will see how obvious it is during the day, but yeah so far not entirely happy with how it looks. Worried that even getting it re-done again will be a waste of time, and then also worry that if we goto the extent of the whole door being resprayed, whether it'll look f*cked compared to the rest of the factory paint, which would obviously stand out a hell of a lot more than a 4mm wide strip.

Enter races and leave the competitor stickers on the side of the car covering paint defects!

We'll settle that at the race track tonight, my good man.
