Belted the left rear wheel arch for clearance purposes. Got new tread. Lost clearance... Currently in for a full wheel alignment.
Saturday on the 80: Replaced CV's and rebuilt Swivel hub, new wheel bearings etc, all cleaned up, to pull it off the hoist and discover despite CV's being in bad condition, its a my air-locker that is ####ed Now to pull it all down again and pull out the diff centre.
Put some Nulon mineral 20w-50 in it. So far; impressive stuff for a few bucks. Found some oil in the water, the LIM gaskets doth beckon, time to get some lifters and end the procrastination.
I personally am a MASSIVE fan of Nulon oils. All my vehicles run on it. Engine, trans, diffs, power steering and brakes.
I plasma cut the chassis strengthening off the last piece of my written off Clubby today (the driver side sill). Going to copy this one for the other side as that one is a little bent. The bent side.
Got replacement steering wheel buttons off eBay. The seller didn't mention the middle Next button has damage and was 'fixed' with silicon.. Also found out, that despite my current ones being backlit, and the 'replacement' ones having the exact same part numbers, etc there is no part number difference between backlit and non-backlit buttons... hmm.. Now to try and get a refund and try again.
Well the guy owned up to fixing them and giving a refund once he receives them back. Now to hunt around for second hand ones again..
realised my air filter was disgusting, replaced it, along with adding a "two hole" type mod, following the guide here: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vy-holden-commodore-2002-2004/92806-cai-alien-design.html

Oil & filter changed New brake pads front and rear Painted discs and calipers front and rear Changed diff oil Fitted sump guard Fitted VE SV6 exhaust tip Washed the inside of all 4 wheels Changed tensioner/pulley/belt Changed spark plugs Vacuumed it Cleaned the windows Put protectant on the dash Quite a bit of stuff to a car that goes to the panelbeaters tomorrow.

Installed some rear courtesy lights in the vy.. 30 min job and emptied the kids junk from the car too while at it.. Dam kids
now your car sucks unfiltered air ? why bother with this stupid mod, just remove the air filter and have the same affect report back on how many K's it takes when your car starts blowing smoke
last night this happened. so was in the city for school and saw and heard a whole lot of police officers. including one having someone in a commo having a massive argument with him, so they were pulling people over I guess. head back to carpark and see a divvy van outside, really thought nothing of it, as though it would just be patrolling the area. get back to car, its cold, and is not overly loud, but its a carpark so it makes it louder. (also a kind fella told me the police were actually waiting just outside the door) anyway, let it idle (out of gear) all the way down and see the divvy van backing up as though to block off the exit. they do keep backing up and line up to enter carpark. *wipes forehead* put in the ticket and exit the carpark. officer has his window down just staring at the car. now for the record, its filthy. and anyone how has seen the car knows, its higher then sabs Cruiser. so I have no idea what the officers were doing but he did have that "what am I looking at" confused look they also entered the carpark. so good thing I wasn't 2minutes later *thumbsup* so I really did nothing other then get a few strange looks from some officers
put the ss up on stands to change the steering rack boots and rear cv joint boots for road worthy... now i have to make the steering lock work and stop the handbrake cable touching the exhaust and get rear tyres..
They suck air from the bottom of the box, where the 2 hole mod is, then up through the filter and towards the engine from the top of the box. They are an ok mod, but not as good as a true OTRCAI
Yeah i know but when you don't have money to spend, this seems like an okay sustitute for now haha As said above it sucks below the filter. Otherwise i wouldnt have done it, stuff that
