You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Sooo, pretty disappointed atm, I thought I made a mistake and Pettett was right, my car WAS too low... WRONG.

Didn't touch the car since the defect, didn't raise it, didn't change exhaust, nothing. Took it in to get RWC 2 days later, passed first go.

Took it to Vicroads this morning, they height checked it + listened to exhaust, both passed. What the f**king shit is going on, Will be carrying a tape measure in the car from now on so I can measure his bullshit $3 dollar bunnings caster wheel next time.

Which model specifically and for what use? A girl I knew, who practically stalled everytime she moved off the line (dat cringe when 300rpm launch), managed to get her daily driver Wrangler to 250,000km before it developed engine rattles.

nah 90s cherokee (xj) just something to use instead of the new hilux putting way too many K's on it already and too paranoid to get it off road lol would be nice to throw something around on the dirt without worrying about scratching the paint

found a couple that i'll be checking out on the weekend. btw are diffs expensive? :ermm:

lulz if Petite was innocent all along and had just been issued with the wrong equipment and law book.

Make a complaint to that police internal affairs body, Borci. The more legitimate complaints about that guy, the better. I'd love to see the bullshit he comes up with to justify your defect.

In Jeeps, yes. Same for gearboxes. No parts held in Australia and no one will touch them for cheap.

Yep planning on writing up a draft on the weekend, but have no idea where to start on any of it :P Just know that I've got enough anger to do it.

Will take 10mins of your time, and if enough people do it things might start changing

Sick. I copywrite, so if you need a proofread / to make it formal sounding, I can do this for you. Anything for my buddy Petite!

As for a start, literally just start writing about how pissed off you are and exactly what happened...including swear words...then once you've got it all down, start cleaning it up / swapping out words / ordering everything.

was probably expecting a bribe

yeh, or if you get a fine, just give them a fake name.. lol

soo what happens here, the rental company giving you another car?

who you rent from?

nah the defect only says i cant drive it after the 6th, so ill drive it until we go back.

sattelite rent a car

LOL Aaron... You're just a defect magnet. Was the rental car bright orange?

http://www.fijitimes....aspx?id=215162

I wouldn't risk giving them a bribe :P That would be worse than passing the defect notice onto the rental company.

lol it was funny, he goes, do you have your license, and i was about to take it out after saying yes, and he goes "ah ok good and walks off hahah

My bad, forgot it was Ford/Evo/Bike/selfloathing/hate or nothing.

i agree, i like the CV8Z!

if the car measured up, then i dont see the problem

Yes, but as matt said the place looked after him as they have a working relationship. Lets be honest all of our cars are probably not roadworthy if they want to be knts about it

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      By Borci88 · Posted

      It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.

      I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.

      Not without making up a new screamer pipe from scatch I don't think based upon the angles of the current return. Backpressure shouldn't be an issue though as the straight gate isn't affected by backpressure in the same way that a poppet valve is, and on top of that the exhast system is 4" all the way through so there should be minimal pressure if any to begin with.
