Na after i got rear ended (car not me trev) and i dropped off car to be repaired im still in dispute with my insurance about quality of wk done but thats another story, but with the guys who did the work badly i pretty sure they took my car out for a thrash, so 1 of the reasons wanted it was limp mode (again trev car not me) but yeah if anyone wants to know where not to take a care for panel repairs i can let u know. I really wanted to name and shame them.

Aw c'mon why you no leave yourself wide open

[t_revz]

So there was engine dramas after they had it? So you bought a Pfc to be able to set low rev limiter while it's at repairers?

Morning all!.

Up bright and early planning out todays work which if the weather lets up will involve removing rear tint, cleaning rear seats and carpets in car (any tips on getting sand out of this stuff?) and if time permits, washing the exterior.

A friend of mine told me he'd be coming around this arvo to look at the tachometer but that's a 50/50 at best. I have access to the rest of my tools, which means I can finally Jack up the car!!!. I'm mentally preparing myself for that, as i've been told the RB25's are real tight at the back (Just like z00key).

Also, yeah, the quality of work done on z00key's car was just heartbreaking to see, could have done a better job with cable ties.

Ok, so after successfully removing the interior from the car, and cleaning it all, I also did a quick plastic restoration on some of the older bits, that had lost their colour and changed to a chalky white. Here's a quick little before and semi-after.

All that is left to do now is remove the rear tint (bubbly and gross), Fix the Coolant leak, Mesh the front grill , fix my tachometer and brace my Pod Filter down. Once that's done, I'll take it over the pits and see what they find/complain about.

Wow that looks good what did u use to get the colour back, tge test will be in few days to a week to see if it stays?

[Hank Scorpio]

Nice, come and do my RX-7 and YOLOdeo? That black strip looks fkn terrible on both.

Maguires Trim Polish & Protect. It soaks into the plastics, takes a lot of elbow grease. It's also water resistant so we'll see how it holds. Am very happy with the results.

Hank, come over and fix either my gauges or coolant leak and i'll clean your RX-7 (because I love RX-7's)

Yeahhhhh... *runs away screaming*

Damn it, Just about to Jack up the Car and the rain comes back ... Go Away Rain, I'm pretending to know what i'm doing and you're not helping.

Actually, Hank, you do suspension work right? If you're ever in the Forrestfield/Wattle Grove area, the previous owner apparently had the suspension on the car "raised" to get it to pass the pits, but it's higher at the back, lower at the front. He had all the work done by pedders, I'd love to get your thoughts on what they've done.

Also, I want coil overs. Will wash cars for coil overs

Put coilovers in and dump it, just do it.

And a massive front so you can pick up ants while driving

That'll work.

It's a split hose!!! I found the leak. The question is, how do I change this hose? I'll put some photos here.

It's a very small, short hose at the rear center of the engine.

Any one know which hose this is and the best way of tackling it? (from underneath or above?, tips?)
