Things are starting to happen again
yay lol...
Taking her in tomorrow (saturday) morning to get a new starter fitted ($190) and finally fix the a/c bearing (drive wheel physically able to move side to side along shaft, noisy on idle + drive, noisy a/c when on). So it'll be great to have her starting how she should and not making any more stupid noises from the a/c compressor
As some of you know she's been suffering from either a worn centre bearing or rear uni joint (possibly both) giving a bit of vibration when accelerating, esp when warm. Well i've finally sorted out some $$$ etc so she's booked in for a full diff rebuild at Diff Technics in Kogarah on thursday!
Cost for the rebuild $650, centre bearing $130, rear uni $66. I was originally going to get it rebuilt with the standard 3.08 ratio, but at the last minute said "f*** it just do it" and sourced a 3.45:1 gear set for $250!
It's not new but probably wont matter much as i dont drive her everyday, and at the price of a new gear set ($600), it'll have to do!
So come thursday night i'd better be a happy chappy!
Oh and heres a couple of pics i took tonight after giving her a much needed wash:
Rollin on stockers for the time being, sorting out rubber for my new wheels pretty soon i hope lol
Engine bay pic (the light wasnt the best)
Thought i'd post up a pic of my modified CAI. I look at the CAI on my dad's VS (un-modded) and its insane how much more open mine is!
Enjoy
