Car has had its 140,000k service. I completed it over a week.

Replaced oil
Replaced oil filter
Replaced sump washer
Replaced coolant
flushed radiator with flushing stuff
Changed spark plug leads
Checked spark plugs (looked like brand new ngk iridum score !)
Ran injector cleaner through fuel system
Changed Power steering fluid
Checked brake fluid
Cleared 140,000k service reminder :yeah:


Next on the list is a transmission service, while im at it either a stage 1 or 2 shift kit and corvette servos

Also, My rear drivers side brakes squeal really loud when braking softly, if i apply the brake a bit harder they stop, Would this be worn out brake pads. or just dust?

Nice mate. Not too loud so it shouldn't attract cop attention. I'm thinking of going a similiar setup as you. Would love to hear a video of it when driving.

yeah il get a video up sometime of it driving. In the mean time, iv gotten bored of my boot install so im going to jazz it up a little with a false wall. Im going to cover it in black carpet and put some orange highlights around it. not 100% on the design yet, but here is a crappy chopped pic of what the wall will look like.

Iv been googling around and some people have been saying that the pillers that the front seat belts are in is not the best place to mount the tweeters.... so, i had a crack at finding the best spot, and i ended up with them in the factory tweeter location in the dash, Holden must have hit the nail on the head when they put them there, because it sounded the best in there. Anyway PICS!!!

yeah id be interested bout removing the rear resi, i was thinking a piece of pipe that can be bolted on/off whenever i please, because mine has a flare, and the resr resi goes inside the pipe and the U bolts clamps it on, So maybe a piece of pipe bent the same as the rear resi shape. So resi or no resi and should take like 10 minutes to swap.... Dunno about cost of getting a 1m piece of pipe made up tho, you would hope cheap...

tiny update, was having some issues with the coolant rushing to the overflow bottle when warm, turns out it was the valve on the radiator cap, so i bought a new one, $11 for anyone interested. So know i have a bling bling chrome radiator cap lol.
