The door handle was practically touching the front panel!! Edited 05/10/12 12:50 PM by STIFLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG50T Member 568 Member For: 20y 10m 15d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/10/12 09:02 AM Share Posted 06/10/12 09:02 AM Put a Kaaz diff into my VZ and had to drive in figure 8's for half an hour to break it in. Silly me being a P-Plater at the time thought the only way to drive in figure 8's was with smoke coming off the back tyres. Two sets of 15" tyres later and a few mates having a laugh at me who thought it would be better not to correct me and let me do a very long smoke show.Diff worked sweet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshmcmillan Member 46 Member For: 12y 11m 28d Gender: Male Location: Mid North Coast, NSW Posted 07/11/12 01:09 PM Share Posted 07/11/12 01:09 PM Fitting oil sender unit to my XR6 Turbo using a T-piece... didn't put spanner on the turbo oil line filter... turned the car on, oil leaked, turned it straight back off... realised that I'd pulled the line to the turbo right back around in a loop with kinks/cracks, up further I had pulled it tight against the block and it had rubbed a strip in the belt too..... Probably saved my turbo in the long run as it forced me to invest in an Earl's braided line and filter.... However when fitting that, the T-piece for the sender (Calibre brand) snapped before getting tight... so we had to drill the snapped bit out, chisels a flat head screwdriver bit onto it... refitted original sender with Earl's kit.... now I've spent another $60 on an Earl's oil filter sandwich plate, should have done so in the first place!Not really my fail but when I bought my last car (EL Falcon), me and my brother drove it 6 hours to home (hard to find factory manual), before realising that all 10 of the front wheel nuts were easily removed by hand...

mcinnes Donating Members 393 Member For: 12y 6m 5d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 04/01/13 02:04 AM Share Posted 04/01/13 02:04 AM When I got my first car (a ford laser), I was still learning all the things about taking care of your car. My car ate oil like we drink water so I had to check it quite often. One day I checked my oil and noticed it needed filling, so I got the oil out, and proceeded to fill it up. checked the dip stick and it was up at the correct level so all should be good right? nope...I parked my car on a sloped driveway...so all the oil had sunken back. It looked like it was just full...when in reality it was over full...by quite a lot... Lets just say you knew where I was because of the blue trail following me...
