  1. all you motorcyclists are going to die anyway, atleast you dont have to suffer with busted organs, you just get chopped in half. youl even fit in a smaller cheaper coffin and it will be easyer on the guys cleaning up the scene only having to pick up 10kg lumps (no extra acc heavy lifting training etc)

    everybody wins with cheesecutter barriers.

  2. Your choice. Why risk it tho when you can just make 4 little brackets. Wouldnt take over an hour or so and will never break.

    because if everything on my car was reliable and never broke id get bored of it and i could have used that hour doing it properly to fix some other dodgey shit id done earlyer.

  3. a point of intrest on the turbo waterlines. hundreds of factory turbo rotary motors get/got put in early mazdas and noone bothers with the waterline.

    the added thing to fail, make it an extra bit harder when you have to take the turbo off as its normally in the way of the last bolt you need to undo for any job.

    summing up. waterlines are gay as.

    unless you plan on using your car as a taxi and doing 600,000k+ and 680 hot shutdowns a year.

  4. Try AACS on 04 3813927

    The cost will vary depending on what type of gas is in the system.

    If its the old type, you will need to have the system flushed and the dryer replaced, and that will be pretty expensive....probably more than a grand.

    my missus had an old stuff system filled with the new type (really technical terms) im pretty sure they replaced the dryer (i dont know what this is. if it doesnt make my car go faster it goes in the bin). it was $~350 and nearly everybody quoted the same.

    they said the compressor had to work a fair bit harder on the new stuff,

    (you could smell the paint on the pump)

    funnily enough some temprateure switch failed after 1 day on it

    can you just get some old stuff from a wrecker/buy it off a broke student?

  5. isnt the motor in the orange one pretty naffed?

    (it seemed that way at e.s trackday)

    would be a shame not to give it a reco on its way between shells for the cost and effort involved in it.

    na bey from my expert watching oppinion it was only smoking on the corners = head not draining all the oil and it going into teh manifold and burning up

    out of intrest, how does the oil get into the engine through the head? get forced past the valve stems?

    i apoligise in advaqnce for spamming up ur thread

  6. i love the autolock, keeps my mind ticking, sharp and on form.

    is there any other odd things people do that dont make a car a total pain in the arse that you end up not doing it (i.e plug leads)

  7. i disconnected ex/internal lock mechnisms and just use the alarm.

    i cant think of anyway in besides climbing over broken glass/keep expensive shit out of arms length. you cant take/force the doorskins off with the doors closed either.

    just have to be concious that if you leave your keys inside for 1min with ign off, the doors will lock. its taking a big risk if something fails but meh. the odds of it failing are low & windows are cheapish.

  8. seeing you have your awnser, for future ref, heavy transport tyres in penrose are mean for fitting tyres afterhours, they seem to be there 25 hours a day, 8 days a week. last time was $20 cash to fit 2 tyres & a new schrader valve at 8:30pm.

  9. will bring one home 4 weekend yo/

    on another note whats the deal with the pads that are really unevenly worn?

    is that a common thing? the pad looks like the caliper floaty arrangement is 10 degrees out of square to the disc, but its not

    i apologise in advance for spamming up your thread

  10. it occured to me today thinking about that article above, we should check the thicknesses, the max face runout on the left? front disc was like .08? but if how i remember that article is correct, that would make it .16 thicker than the thinnest point. if it was "warped" as such it would only be .08, that guys pretty adiment there is no such thing so im slightly inclined to belieive him. have you got an external micrometer at yours?
