Yeah got me quad lock on the bike. Car just connects to phone via Bluetooth so once in the car I just throw phone on the passenger seat.

Man if only our fuel prices in NZ looked like that, well over $3 a litre at a lot of places

So here we go... the strip down to flex plate begins. Funny how a lot of 'how to' vids don't say to remove the exhaust, or at least the part bang in the middle!!!...

Anyway, these are off regardless of if needed to be off. Need a bloody good clean too...

Thanks for the heads up. OTR is off.

So got the rest off. Pretty sure X-Force are rubbish but anyways...

This was challenging getting to the third bolt, but we got there...

Have skimmed through 'how to' vids but most are for yank cars so have no relevance so far..

Coffee break then will get stuck back into it...

Now that’s off are you checking on Marketplace for a DiFilippo cat back?

You know I'd love a full DiFilippo but one day...

Oh prob a good time to drop the transmission oil.

Looks pretty fresh to me...

Someone has gone a bit fast over a speed bump. Unless it was too low at some point.

Do you have an engine support bar? That will make it a lot easier to angle the engine when the trans slides out.

I have a few jacks lol

Wondering can I lower the transmission on a jack while still attached to the engine.

God only knows how I undo this if not...
