So update. Pricing up tires as I'm sick of the sliding around. Have an intake leak that's popped up over the last month or so and will be tracking that down this weekend then mostly likely ordering parts from USA. Is odd as the previous owner replaced intake gasket and it has been fine up until recently but im 90% sure it's intake leak as it's only rough on cold/coldish starts then comes right. Does sound good though!

Also got a knock in the front suspension now as well. Bloody earthquaked roads!

Update:

New tires on the front + wheel alignment. Grip is awesome even for a boat. Also spent some $ on nolathane through the front. Knock is gone and everything feeling tight. Had a wee look into intake leak but can't pick the spot so will be going to mechanic when he is free to spend $ free time hunting.

Did a skid today too, traction control is gay

Did both ball joints in front. Still gotta get wheel alignment done again. Discovered source of oil leak is front main so will get that sorted it the next few weeks. Otherwise business as usual. Averaging about 17l per 100k. Can't tell if it's my driving or something is playing up...

wow, thats rather high. done o2 sensors? cant remember what hoz gets, but im sure its not that bad.

 

[lemusa]

o2 sensors were done just before I got it. The vacuum leak still pokes its head out occasionally so good chance it's related. Cannot for the life of me find it though. Strangely enough my economy gets alot better on hot days...

Edit: I think I should be getting 12ish around town and as low as 8 on the motorway etc.

You got a heavy foot that's why I take it you're keeping it for now since you're spending cash on it?
