Could be a something blocking one of the galleries/ outlets and when you turn the engine off its enough for it to back off for a little bit. The screen could be blocked again too by stuff that got dislodged when you were cleaning up the front of the engine. Sucks. Could poke one of those...

great work man, those scuff plates came up mint. I'd say that whoever manages to scuff them first should owe you a carton as payment. Good find with the pacies, ive got a set that i blasted and painted up- now waiting for motivation to come along haha. Bit of dust on them now but ill get there...

i want them.

haha that is awesome i love it. keep it exactly how it is

bloody hell thats shiny. Nice

So I have this idea of covering up the white painted centre console with a stato centre console cover. (and radio surround when I get one) I have two issues. -I dont have power windows and am not going to install them or put fake power window switches in -Ive gotta either make up a custom...

Props to you for putting in the effort to make your own mount, it would work but i think that it would crack along the welds as they are the weak points now. Good ingenuity though. But in all seriousness OEM (or even aftermarket) mounts are a bolt in replacement and no harder to fit that your...

Doing the fron of the car atm- Had to butcher the #### out of the front shock insert to get it out cos the fantastic hex plate broke off - thanks monroe new front shocks installed in the struts yesterday pulled all the old bushings out of the control arms and k frame, clean up bores tomorrow...

A bigger hammer, the answer is always get a bigger hammer, a longer bar, or a rattlier rattle gun :spot on:

maybe

Ive enquired about this additive at a few parts shops around the place and i was met with blank looks. Might ask my local Holden dealer next time Im there. I run dex3 in my t5 as that is what the trans builder told me to run when i got it rebuilt. But im keen to see what this additive is and...

Ive been spending Should be able to turn a corner alright by the time I'm done

Any reason to complain is a good one hey

This place is a joke. Its the same mentality as 'speed kills'. 2nd state of North Korea, here we come.

at least you had fatish tyres when you went camping. corrugated dirt roads on the 19s did not feel good when we took the 5.0 to magnetic hill. that was on your land yacht springs too

That's certainly a pissed-off looking wagon. I like

+1 Would be interested to know for when the time inevitably comes. But by the time the cable is frayed wouldn't the motor be close to the end of its life? Also, i did my waterpump today. I guess seeing how much you get done in a day motivated me to get my ass into gear. (1st gear only)

damn man. You get things done quick. Ive still got a water pump to install that i have been putting off since January, I just keep topping up the coolant haha. Front end looks good :thumbsup:

Damn that carpet looks good. You know what would set the exterior off nicely? a chrome strip along the top of the door panels (beneath the windows) like the ones VP calais' had. And maybe calais/stato/caprice trolley strips. Just a thought.

very nice, ill be following this thread with interest

it should be a firm/tight fit on the new brake rotor also, maybe they didnt supply you with exactly the right part. When i replaced my rotors I used some retaining compound (or low/medium strength loctite) on the hub before i tapped the pickup ring on

KYB, Sachs, anything but monroe

We get some pretty big machines come into work sometimes. Then other times we get this: http://vid922.photobucket.com/albums/ad68/somefool21/Mobile%20Uploads/Snapchat-1092629305029091027_zpslsfp02qy.mp4

Very nice, Might add that to my list of things to do. Plain white would suit me. My mate has the car logo ones in his prelude- gave me a good laugh when i saw them. Pretty cool but not for me

The only reason that a person shouldnt be able to drive a manual is if they havent got the ability to use thier legs

Its like a time capsule I love it

nearly 10 days on and ive got the same issue, partially obscured words and the small green icons (link broken icons) where all the site graphics would be. Using chrome

whats an m20? have you got a part number for the steel carrier? is the whole part the same and ya just swap the plastic for the steel and thats-that kind of thing? cheers

bloody volvo drivers lol whats that thing off?

Guess what? Skirts are on (2 years of procrastination). Regarding aesthetic changes, this car is finished. :)

Holy ****! Matte. I reckon gloss would lose its shine over time and end up looking average

I would just do a regular service on the trans. Good maintenence. If you havent got an external trans cooler then I'd reccomend you get one. The In-radiator ones are poo. That said, with that fluid youve currently got there, you should not have any issues doing a big trip

best you can hope for is get a thick as #### oil to put in. as mentioned above. a bearing would have to be spun prettty bad to drop all oil pressure tho. if you watch the gauge closely at idle and it sort of.. dips and raises with crank rpm then yes id say spun bearing. For any vn engine with...

Looks like a great family project, making good progress now. Engine sounds mean as!

put one side of side skirts on. half a tube of sikaflex later.

Damn that looks good. I agree tint next and youve got yourself a mint cruiser

haha the v8 makes a way louder sucking noise compared the v6. and it does that 'old man sigh' when you turn it off. Or the v6 is the same but the rattles are louder than the induction noise who knows. Just IAC it should reset after a little while. or as said

you guys are better mechanics than me. I once bought a corvette servo, got under the car, looked at where it goes, got out from under the car and sold the corvette servo

It does, but can i be bothered? nah, not really. not yet.

No worries champ. Realistically, you probably wont need to rebuild the engine. When i pulled mine out it was originally to convert to manual and put new sump gasket on. It didnt need rebuilding but i did because i could and now im poor lol. Good work on the taillights - its a VN thing haha Will...
