  1. I'm gonna say it is... Leak looks exactly like mine did before I replaced it with a four cylinder L-series unit (with only two bolt holes, but it still works fine haha)
  2. Awesome mate, really enjoying seeing it get some love!!! My fuel pump was leaking out of the pivot pin hole too. I replaced it with another and cleaned out the end of the hole well before sticking some silicone neatly into it with my finger too. No leaks there yet
  3. I know it's a tad late now, but what about swapping to 330 stub axles?
  4. Yeah it's a little funny to think about. You would really want the old balljoints as well to chop up and install some very high grade bolts.
  5. I have heard of machining a spacer between the lower balljoint and the lower arm/wishbone. I'm tempted to give that a crack. But I'm also going to raise my car a fraction (both front and rear) because it isn't all that practical how it is haha. On the front mine has 290mm between the centre of the hub and the wheel arch. You won't get that with the unmodified standard bumpstop in place. Would also be really keen on getting some plastic B-pillar trims off that parts car if they are in good condition.
  6. Thanks guys! lol definitely not going any lower anywhere. Can't get it into my driveway and it's just riding the bump stops in the rear end the whole time. Front springs are custom coils I had done locally, but they aren't as stiff as I was told they were going to be, even after cutting heaps off them, but I think I'm gonna get some nice thick 'sports' HQ springs and cut them down to size. I trimmed the bump stops down to next to nothing, but I want to alter that as well to get a fraction more travel and a better dampening effect when it does hit the bump stop (which it will be doing frequently as I drive this thing every day, country & city)
  7. Stoked to see this thread up and running again. Cream interior w/ brown carpet is sexay. EDIT: That parts car of yours, does it have the orange reflectors on the rear guards? I really need some for my car! I've just got the crappy black blanking plastic things haha
  8. Year and a bit on... thought I'd hassle you haha. Lowering my wagon a little more ATM and came here to read up a bit more on opinions
  9. haha definitely planning on going a bit lower, and bought an L28 for it too. CEO spec is the aim haha, fucking BOSS
  10. Stepped up 15" barrels from Whitehorse Industries in Melbourne.

  11. Well, a year on I thought I might update you guys over the ditch! Pulled the interior out, had some retrimming done, put in a stereo, better insulation, factory tacho, electric aerial, optional factory auto-seek radio etc Brought it down a bit lower: Tried some other wheels: Next got Jesse Streeter to bring me over some B310 fender mirrors. Baseplates were rusted apart so I made some new ones out of alloy and fitted them up And got stuck into my masterpiece... Turning these 14x6.5" 5x114.3 Starsharks from Otomoto: Into proper size & offset shakotan style rolling stock. Modelled this up for inspiration haha Damn you welded 3pce wheels! Making them holy Media blasted centres
  12. Just a small update from a little while ago. I pulled off the bumper and removed the square trailer light socket (gonna put a round one hidden somewhere underneath the car when it actually has enough grunt to pull a trailer haha) so I could install the number plate in a better spot and get the P plate out of the rear window. Also panel-beat the bar into shape and painted the inside of it, the brackets etc, put new lenses on the numberplate lights and put new globes in there. Now the reverse light lenses sit nice and flush in the bar too, it was all over the shop before!
