back on the bushes thing, most of them you can change yourself, which isno prob. but the castor arms and diff swing arms need to be pressed in. so you wll have to take it somewhere

ok how much force do i need? i modifyed a bench mounted clamp thingy so its got alot of clamping power and i can put a pole on it to really get a fair squeeze out of it! recon this will do? cant remember what i used it for when i fist made it! but i know its got enough strenght to squeeze an average bolt to the point it bends! love to play around with physics!

 

[ari666]

lol, ok. ive no idea of the exact lbs pressure, but i do know that you can do it with a bottle jack and a couple of pieces of 10mm steel.

lol yea i recon il have a go and if i cant get il hafta take it in! ok so once i saved for the bushed and got them, next i want to put a manual in it! just cos i prefer them. what do you recomend? i want somethin strong but not too pricy. the engine will be modifyed but nothin like 300kw or nothin lol iv heard lots of good stuff about the t5. what do ya recon?

 

[vktorana]

lol guess what! i finally got it back from adelaide! lol sat on 50ks comin out throught the hills! and she dont like goin above 80-90 or she drops oil pressure and ya get that dam tickin noise which i cant seem to find! i replaced the hydraulic lifters cos they were ****ed! pulled the sump off and even after flushinf the whole engine 3 times there was still old built up gluggy oil! so cleaned all that out and i managed to drive her the whole way from adelaise to mount gambier! she stil got alot of problems but il get there!

[vktorana]

[Zeussy]

5 star as in B45's, if so, nah don't go them, although, with a bit of dish, they look alright!

I prefer the FR's in like an 18 would be perfect (or 17's )
