Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 9m 11d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 04/03/15 11:41 AM Author Share Posted 04/03/15 11:41 AM Drivers rear is ok mate but passenger side bit lower. Whiteline do spring seats which are 6mm thick so I'm going to throw one each side. $27 each. The factory rubber insulators are basically flat (2mm) and probably squashed to near nothing over time. So what ever it works out at will do until maybe some coil overs come up cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's at about 345 hub to guard. Passenger side is 340. About 3/4 fuel load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herrod now do a hi-flow unit to match their pump so am going with that. This will allow the correct pressures to be set without trying to tune around it.

After doing some checks it appears the rear welch plug has failed. Really odd given I know the coolant has been kept up to it but things happen. So, out comes the ZF next week - grrr. To get more out of it than just replacing a $2 plug, I've decided to install Ratter's upgraded flex plate with ARP bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratter's upgraded flex plate and ARP bolt combo has arrived also ready to go in, to a least get something meaningful out of this process. I might not get much benefit myself as car and trailer is for sale but a good selling point nonetheless.If anyone is genuinely interested in the rig, pm me for full details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
