Yeah it tightened up the front handling noticeably. It didn't remove the knock I've been chasing though, can only assume now that it's the struts.

Cheers, the engine is going great. Just about to take it for it's 2nd long distance run.

you wouldnt happen to still have the towbar?

Jastel · 04-01-2012, 09:36 PM

Yes I do but was hanging onto it just in case I decide to put it back on in the future.

Great work mate! Havent been here for some time and I'm happy that there are still people out there taking good care of their Astinas

Bugger, tempted to sell it now. I had a seizure in my sleep last week (first one ever), a grand mal which lasted 30secs but came out fine. Now the RTA says I can't drive for 6 months

Was going to trade-up at the end of this year and figure it might be smart to do it now with 5 months rego left on it.....

Sorry to hear about your loss of not being able to drive, happened to my father last year, had a seizure & then fainted @ work, wasnt able to drive for 6 mths as well (turned out to be vertigo)

Seems like all the older members are selling up though?!??!?

Jastel · 13-01-2012, 11:12 PM

Probably wouldn't let it go..... I'm kinda attached to it

Anyways I just finished the final (yeah right) piece of my audio setup.... the subwoofer. I purchased this from Mike_d87, it's a Soundstream T5-12.
I built a sealed enclosure with around 1.15ft3 volume and finished with Dulux Suede effect paint.....

I haven't hooked it up yet, can't wait for tomorrow to tune it up.

nice craftsmanship there

but after everything youve done with the car im not really surprised you could make a decent sub box :P have fun tomorrow

Jastel · 14-01-2012, 12:09 PM

You know your sub is working when you get headaches, the hair on your arms stands up and you get bowel movements.......
I think I prefer a ported enclosure though this setup is perfect for such a small boot space.
