i've had little rust spots from stone chips for 5 or so year now.

Yeah i know but i need to clean up the rust and then touch it up, plus fix some of the touch ups from the old owner that was done in the wrong colour like on my spoiler

KU36's latteral grip sucked in the wet. Took me some getting used to. But got better after learning and adjusting driving style.

marcs_sp20 · 12-07-2009, 08:04 PM

looks like fun, im guessing a lot of handbrake work to get the car to flick out?(Just looks like it in soome corners..)

Still runninig with a bung clutch??

Rix · 12-07-2009, 08:07 PM

Lol ryan that looks like a lot of fun!

project.r.racing · 12-07-2009, 08:08 PM

yeah clutch felt like it was slipping a little today. i dont think it has much life left in it. it's 150,000km old, and been raped. so it's done well for a regular clutch.

new cvs and clutch will go in when i swap the new engine in.

Rix · 12-07-2009, 08:12 PM

Lol i read that as 150,000km qld:P and i'm thinking what? 150,000km isn't a lot for a car though? i would count that as low K's for a Ba Astina

project.r.racing · 12-07-2009, 08:17 PM

car = 267,000km

timing belt = 267,000km

water pump = 267,000km

clutch = 150,000km

cvs = 18,000km

Rix · 12-07-2009, 08:20 PM

Ok

my bad lol

i know my car has only done around 130,500km

and my timing belt was replaced at 120,000km but other than that i know **** all about my car lol

the cable pulled ones are a bitch as far as i know. i did my mates one and i had to use a really small screw driver to unscrew the controlls of the plate, as the stupid cables did not want to come of the lever, and the slack was only about 5cm..... gah

ryan:
very interesting fact about the zinc plated panels, i never knew that.. would make sence as i have stonechips galore up front and never rusted apart from that spot

rick:
the white on the BA is polar white, if you go to the info section about exterior here you will find the code, or you can look in your door sticker/engine bay sticker about the paint code

i got a batch of it mixed up from autobarn for $20

Rix · 12-07-2009, 09:41 PM

Pettos · 13-07-2009, 11:14 AM
