Possibly CV's gone?

outer cv joint yes.

loose/worn/stretched belt, it's an $11 belt. or you can move the p/s pump a little closer to the radiator to try and tighten the belt.

i have a set of the chrome rear lights not on a car at the moment. think i need to keep them though.

Haha the springs REALLY set it. It's almost tucking at the back. Can't make it in my driveway, probably going to grap some gravel today to re-do the driveway to make it a bit better. For now I'm parked on the grass out the front

When I get the 18s, It'll pick the car up a bit and I'll be better off.

lol, it looks good on stockies

Once you get the 18's on you should be fine going into your driveway etc

Now have a painted rear beaver panel, thanks to sik astina, and no rear wing. So this weekend, I'll be getting the sand paper and paint out to re-paint the boot

SLY 323 · 18-08-2010, 06:42 AM

Also decided to shave the rear window wiper. Make everything flow

SLY 323 · 19-08-2010, 08:57 AM

So the car doesn't idle well anymore at all, so looks like this weekend I'll also be pulling the throttle body off, and something in the suspension isn't doing as it should

so that seems to be a plan for the weekend, but good side is going to pick up the 18s this weekend from phly.

SLY 323 · 19-08-2010, 09:35 AM

Thinking I might just get a full mechanical and safety check with a written report. Not sure how much I would be charged but. Anyone recommend a good place in Wollongong to do so? I was thinking maybe UltraTune. Anyone know how much I'd be looking at?

mkid · 19-08-2010, 10:02 AM

sly that pic of it in the dark was it done at hill sixty or bass point?
a mechanical check shouldnt be to expensive maybe get a full service done at the same time
i get all my car stuff done at chris hodges automotive behind woolys in warilla
he builds a lot of mustangs and other american muscle cars
does very good work and is a top bloke
reasonable rates as well but i dont mind paying a little extra to make sure its done right

i have heard that places like ultra tune have make a certain amount of money off every person that comes in depending on what work is being done so they might tell you something wrongs and change it when it actually isnt just to get a bit more money off you
not to sure how true this is but a independant mechanic is normally more relibable than a chain of stores and cheaper

beautiful car, put a kl-ze into it

lol jokes

I'm a P-Plater and the ability to take down what most P-Platers drive is enough for me. Wasn't braging how fast my car is.

SLY 323 · 21-08-2010, 08:22 PM

Got the 18's today. But unfortunatly I do not have any nuts to put the wheels on, so looks like I'll have to wait another few days till I can get my hands on some. Unless anyone knows of a place over the weekend.

SLY 323 · 22-08-2010, 03:53 PM

Got the wheels on and looking sweeeeet!
