What do you mean by 'lock things down' and '4th gear'? The only thing that may move after the belt is off is the one of the camshaft's, the crank won't move unless you turn it. After the belt is replaced its always good practice to turn the engine over (turn the crank twice in this case) by hand, before putting everything back on just to ensure that the marks all line up again takes 30 seconds and can save you thousands.

To undo the crank bolt, socket on bolt then turn the engine by hand to set your breaker bar on a solid part of the engine bay (chassis rail, suspension component) and grunt the engine (tap the key for about half a second) and that bolt is undone if not do it a few more times. If you want to bust your a$$ you can put car in higher gear 4th or 5th with handbrake on and that will stop the engine from spinning as well, then undo with breaker bar but that bolt is tight. After covers are off and you can see the marks to align the cam and crank gears up to, turn the engine over, again by hand, with a spanner until marks line up remove and then the replace belt. As mentioned if you mess this up you can really cost yourself some money!!!!! Proceed with caution.

MITSUBISHI MIRAGE 2001 $3600 neg JMFMNCJ2A2U000479 4G15BL8136 XYH152 Rego till OCTOBER 2011. The Red Rocket is up for sale. The Mirage has been good to us over the past 5 years, we'll be sad to see it go! The car has around 203000ks on it and comes with 3 spare keys and 2 remotes for the key less entry. My wife has driven the car to work and back most of that time and it hasn't skipped a beat. It's got 17inch mag wheels that have seen better days (scuffed and chrome flaking off), although, the tyres are almost new on the front. New Pioneer CD palyer with AUX input and 4 6in pioneer speakers, tinted windows, factory Key-less entry, Air Conditioning, Power steering and we'll even throw in the sunshade. The Major service, timing belt and seals were done at 180000ks, the clutch was replaced at around the same time, the slave cylinder was rebuilt and rear-main seal replaced while the clutch was being done. We bought the car with 150000 ks on it and since that time the oil has been changed every 6 months. Coolant and brake fluid were replaced in January 2011 as well as a minor service. For a 10 year old car you'll find that it is in pretty good nick and one of the better examples around. Paint is in good nick and the panels are straight as an arrow! The only reason we are selling it is that we have upgraded to a bigger car to start a family, baby seats and 2 doors don't really mix. Would make a great First car for someone, very cheap to run and very reliable so grab a bargain. Test drives and inspections welcome. Selling car in as is condition. For any questions don't hesitate to call Matt 0431 687 834 Car located Toongabbie Sydney NSW.

or you could have a go at trying to replace the seal yourself? Its a weekender. Its pretty straight forward to do. I reckon it'd take you 2 hours max and cost you 20 bucks for fluid and a new seal and possibly an o-ring.

Guys I only have 2 free saturdays until next year, one of them I have to go to dentist, so is next year too far away? I can't really talk about the method I use to repair dents, I have signed a contract saying that I will not disclose work methods, sounds silly but thats why we have the edge on other companies that do PDR. If there are 2 of us working on the day I wouldn't book in anymore that 10 cars each, some cars may take 2 minutes, others could take hours all depends on the dent. Cheers Matt.

No. Not the police. They don't make mistakes....

If it was thrown out of court that means its thrown out, no recorded charge.

Well as the topic states, was just pulled over on my bike, was going too fast. Helmet off, step off bike, waiting to be told i'm going to jail.... Afternoon officer, Good afternoon, now why did we pull you over? Ahhh going too fast Thats all we wanted to hear, count to 10 out loud (RBT), ok mate I think we've shaken you up enough for one day go home. Thankyou officer Just remember, we can be anywhere at anytime! Yes sir. And that was that, a little respect goes a long way guys, remember that.

Spotted a maroon/red stagea at IGA Toongabbie Tuesday night about 7:30ish. Said g'day to me and my dog and gave him a pat(my dog ), then went into shops, I turn around and see SAU sticker before I could say anything he was gone.

Yeah Slim tried to get a day happening a while ago but the place we were going to do it fell through. I asked the other guy I work with last time and he said he'd be keen to work as well. All we need is a shaded area with not too much glare from surrounding objects and cars to work on. So yeah if you organise it would be happy to attend and show you guys what we can do. Cheers Matt.

When moving, in a W2A the air flowing through a radiator can reduce the cooling liquid to less than ambient and when not on boost the air being drawn into the engine through the intercooler also cools the liquid in the system. A2A is most cost effective, but doesn't become effective until vehicle begins to move, water to air is ready to go all the time, apart from track use as mentioned. Benefits of the W2A is shorter intake tract for better throttle response. The kits are not too much trouble to install, haven't done one myself, but my father in-law has one on his turbo diesel patrol and should be able to be done in a 5-6 hours by a competent DIYer.

Yeah thats right when engine is at normal operating temp, under light throttle and cruise conditions it with use the O2 sensor as an input(closed loop).

Yeah for sure, it would be interesting to see what causes this as I'm pretty sure that those ECU's don't learn. You don't seem to be the only one experiencing the symptom though. What are the theory's behind disconnecting the battery and the effects its meant to have? I tend to agree that it may be placebo effect, but can't really say without experiencing what you're saying. Cheers Matt.
