Yeah, I've seen that ep on YouTube only, was it on Foxtel or something?

Nah, i watched it on youtube aswell, but theres a new channel on Foxtel called Discovery Turbo. Its about car and stuff....my favorite channel.

Flipped the tie-rod ends and installed ball-joint spacers, now I have to get a wheel alignment. Hello proper steering geometry. In the process I found that one of the coilover spring seats was a bit loose and could be turned by hand - I'm pretty sure that was the annoying creaking sound when turning at slow speeds.

please tell us how the flipped TRE and BJ spacers go. very keen to for some feedback on wether they're worth it or not! also pics of your car's ride height for reference

Will do, just have to get a wheel alignment first. Won't be able to touch it until next weekend now. I was hoping to run at Oran park next Sunday but I think I may have run out of time. That would have been the perfect test for it not to mention the last opportunity to drive at Oran park before it shuts down

Btw my control arms are about 20mm higher at the wheel ends so its not super low. It should be level or a tiny bit above with the extenders in. It will be interesting to see how noticeable the difference is.

I 'fixed' my parcel shelf supports,.. by putting 'new' ones in! Replaced my clutch cable that was about to snap and also modified the clutch travel a bit, so I dont have to raise my knee above my ear to shift. Put some new rear wheels cyl's on some old (but have good thickness) rear drums. Also started prepping for the mk 3 booster and 22mm MC upgrade.

Installed a manual choke to the Weber last night (got sick of lifting the bonnet upon starting)...have also just come back from a 4 hr. Friday pm lunch...time for the next Xmas drink !!!

took off from turning into Nepean Hwy for a blast, foot to the boards and literally the gas pedal stayed there... cursing that the accel. cable had slipped at the Webber, it was only the (new) accel. cable that had popped out of the (new) rubber bush on the end of the gas pedal....easy fix and a great blast up to the Elsternwick video store(who still have us on their records after a 7 year absence!!)

Drivers side door lock now both locks, and unlocks, so I won't be locked out or leaving it unlocked as the options to choose from when I park it.
