Where/who did you get this strut brace from?

[VKCOMMO]

eBay, $100 bid brand new.

They also have them for $180-$205 BIN

If it all goes to plans, today/tomorrow (22nd) I'll be cleaning the headlights, fitting the strut brace and removing the rear ceptors.

A friend is also giving me 2 5 point harness's for freezes. Might fit them up for shits and giggles

[VKCOMMO]

Just installed the strut brace, As far as i know i did it right, but as a learner, I havent been able to road test it yet, that will happen tonight

Also put the alloys on the back again, im sick of scrubbing

[HamaTime™]

Let us know how it goes.

Don't expect a great difference, most of it will be in your head.

The big difference is sway bars.

Yeah, then you'll really feel it. Strut braces are easy cash for manufactures. Because they look purdy.

From one of the engineers at lang lang when testing the vy: It came from the "engineering department" located in marketing. 'nuff said.

Yeah haha, I like the look of it there, but I don't pretend it does anything. Like the shaker on a GTHO really.

[VKCOMMO]

Got the AC Re-gassed today.

Stayed cold for all of 5 minutes

Taking it back when i get a chance and telling them to actually fix it like i asked


Also installed the head unit yesterday, got it all in and then it had the same problem as the old, wasnt putting out signal to the speakers, even with a speaker coming straight out of the loom..

Got the shits and installed the other RCA cable, Works perfectly now

Soldering in the loom:



Getting the shits and installing the second RCA, I found more of D3CID3R's tools in my car. So far it is a set of pliers under the front carpet and a long screwdriver under the back seat...



For some reason seats look dirty, they arent



My mess of a boot:



How i left it after i realised i was covered in sweat, smelt like shit (car was over 35*c inside) and needed to be at work (15 min drive) in half an hour...

Because of this, I need to remove the tow bar, that should also remove about 600kgs.

Check out the size of the loom:





Got some Photoshop'd pictures thanks to RCH-13Z. I really like the simmons, But i think ill go for the SSV's due to price.

Too tight, already tried it

Wouldnt undo when we did the sump gasket either so we used the same tactic

Welded the rail onto the VX SS drivers seat today, just have to do the passenger

Didnt have any fires, but covered the seat in damp rags
