What did you do to your car on the weekend

[VrWagz1]

Little bit bored as know-one really posting much. On the weekend i flushed my cooling system and replace thermostat. I found my main earth wire off the engine slipped out of the lug, so i fixed that too. Also finally re-adjusted the cruise cancell switch on the brake pedal, its been out since it put in the vt booster and master a while back so all good now.

Installed a VS caprice dash into the VN aswell as re-wire it.. Pretty full on!

[Jo3_Blo]

Umm.......nothing much.......charged the battery and stuck it in the statesman and started it up.........was then amazed that it went into gear and moved without stalling at all. Lol, its a long story, its got a problem with the carby since it was taken in for a rebuild (Carby Better in moorabin) and since it has not been right. idles too fast, stalls all the time, etc etc. it got to the point that it wouldn't go into gear without stalling, which meant it wasn't going anywhere, but amazingly after sitting still for A few months, it at least moves now. Didn't stall once in the 15 minutes it was running.
Gonna get it fixed properly soon.


So anyone thinking of taking there carby in, don't go to carby better. Bad news, and not just me, someone else with a WB tonner had the same problem.

PS: Wow @ Hozy, sounds fun.

finished remounting my twin turbos, replaced both rocker cover gaskets, put the battery back in, relocated coolant overflow bottle. Car started first time after about 4months and then proceeded to spew oil all over the garage floor......one of the rear high pressure oil lines (return I think) was loose.... turned it off (before anything was damaged) then attempted to tighten the line, got one side tight but cant get to the other side... crackd the ****s and cleaned the commo instead.....

used a full tank of fuel in one night.

[Emackulation]

I rotated my wheels, got them to correct pressure. Got the air compressor and blew the crap out of my brakes, should have seen the ammount of brake dust come out, filled the shed. Changed my radiator hose, cleaned throttle body and Air Filter. Got my MAT sensor from USA only to find that the thread size is too big for my manifold so I have to buy another new one...

[minux]

I did circle work and burnt out some old tyres.

Video please.

[BullittSV6]

Pumped my tyres, added fuel, got a Coke, went for a drive up the coast.

Was going to wash my car but rain was forcasted so I didn't bother, it absolutely bucketed down, sky was so dark, love it when it rains.

[Fr3ak+--]

changed from lukey air filter to k&n

painting wiper arms cause the paint had come off

put my front bumper back on cause it decided to pop off on a gutter

put air in the tyres

[Kikki]

Looked at it.... drove it, Looked at it some more, washed it, drove it again. Went through a full tank of fuel in 3 days

[MasterOfReality]

Mine has been in the shed for 3 weeks now since I bought my new daily.

Went down to the shed to see if it started. Then took it for a drive.

Thats about it really.

[vlv8vic]

i SOLD mine. A sad moment but at the same time it's a new leaf. Pondering a project car as once the house is finished.
But for the moment i am a camry man. lol.

[nicko]

Finally picked it up after the full respray. 3 weeks without it was killing me. I washed it then it rained so i went and took some photos of the car in the fog up in the adelaide hills. It was cold lol

[Steery]

dropped the rear of my car on its guts. 1.5 inches of the rear tyre is now permanently under the guards (and they are 14's with 95 profile tyre). ill put some pics of it in my rides section later today or tomorrow.. but my old school dragways fill the guards perfectly. maybe 1.5mm between the tyre bulge and the inner side of the guard.

I got out the hose ,bucket, the pressure washer ,sponge , polish, rags. Looked at my car , thought to my self, nah , then put it all away.

lol. Did the same thing. Drove to the local car wash, looked in and decided to keep driving.
Instead i finally replaced the battery in mine as it was on its way out. Previous owner had a crappy supercheap battery in it.

[IMCRZY]

I drove form Taree to Wollongong with the harmonic balancer falling to pieces stupid thing lol

Didnt think we were going to make it

And rewired my stereo

[maginoodle]

didnt do much - just bolted some wireing back into place, put the radiator and thermos back in and put the hoses on

[vnv8driver]

kicked the cat off the roof.
