Update on the 9.5 rears.
In one spot I cant fit my finger tip in. On hard cornering it scrubs a bit. So will see the other halfs uncle about the adjustable rear end.

Time to talk to myself again! :D

Picked up a rear end that has some adjustments.
Unsure if one can be adjusted. Let me know...





It's a freebie off the other halfs uncle!

Thats why im gonna call around see what place says what.

Ordered new bushes for the rear end.
Now gonna see what prices I could maybe get a VE brake upgrade or slotted rotors.
So far it's 398 for slotted rotors.

New update.
Got most bushes for the rear end.
Thinking of getting a larger sway bar for it.
Also, last weekend I installed a 30mm sway bar on the front with adjustable body roll. 4 holes. From soft to rigid. Have gone the middle, closer to rigid.
No body roll. Hardly any scrubbing from the rear.
Been taking corners hard to test this. Havent done any illegal when doing so.

Update.
Job: 2 o rings for heater pipe
Hours spent: too ####ing long
Damage: cast iron pipe. 15 bucks in o rings and about 10 litres of coolant.
####s given: none
End result: old o rings used and silicon applied.

I want the L67 already...

Also think the altenator is on its way out.
Dash lights get brighter with revs. And a scream pokes its head with revs.
Also recieved a new lower hose.

Starting to think about picking up the engine from the machinist.
Gotta give it a really good clean, then build it all up from there.
Kinda keen on it. Gotta learn somehow.
How hard is cam bearing installation?
Anything else that I should know?
