replaced all hoses/pipes in engine bay as they were perishing (including fuel pipes also)

including powerstreering pipes

new startermotor (old one totally wore its bushes)

shreads tyres due to suspension being haddit (would always wear off the inside ring of the tyres, regardless of how many balances/alignments i got done (new coil overs fixed it)

new steering column switch

fixed solder on power windows

new thermo fan (old one cracked)

new o2 sensor (to try and fix fuel economy, still attrocious)

I've had my

Radiator - replaced with new

Fan Clutch - replaced with new

Coil Packs - replaced with 2nd hand (twice)

Battery - replaced with new

Water Pump - replaced with new

Timing belt (did it with water pump) - replaced with new

Nothing too much really - usual wear and tear parts I would say - except for the coil packs!

Ive had mine for over a year now....

I have replaced:

- Spark Plugs

- Brakes

- Tyres

Just the things you would do on a normal family car, so i havnt had any troubles (touch wood).

Things that need changing in the next 6 Months:

- Clutch

- Timing Belt

- Water Pump

So all in all ive gotten off alright.

I guess it just depends if you buy a clean car or a worn out car....

I've had my car for going on 4 years now and all I've had to change on it were brakes, spark plugs, timing belt and tyres (plus regular servicing of course!)

The only thing that has gone wrong with it so far is that the electric side mirrors don't work anymore but that's an easy fix if I could be bothered.

    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
