  1. If ya do a google.com.au for "tramp rod" http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q ... DcountryAU you'll get the idea... they stop the axle housing "torquing" (wind-up) around the axle axis... In english, they stop your diff hopping during a burnout... they used to be real big in the 70's-80's... you could see them (chrome) in front of the rear wheel with a rubber bit hitting the leaf-eye... my five minutes of paint (and 10 of waiting for fucking imageshack to work) These are the 80's style I stole this from somewhere but the dude makes sense:
  2. My little stick (coz I haven't got a console yet and the original looked too long... until I saw the youtube thread ) But when I do, it'll look better and my new stickers EDIT: I gotta respray my boot properly!!! (stupid cans but thats all ya can do when ya get $15 a week to spend on our car) Might change the black one for another silver yet... it's pretty stealth...
  3. true there! old 195-205 LCs smoke forever!!!
  4. Have to show ya my Vic Rattlehead tatt oneday
  5. what my bro-in-law did with his mk2 4age escort rally car... roll cage and then rolled it over and mig'd between the spot-welds on the chassis (seams on all structural body) to stop any flex...
  6. Same... I'm a firm believer of "If it don't come off with all the tools I got, it's a fuckin left-thread!"
  7. usual.... yes... always? um... depends... Is it a bolt or nut? If bolt---- Look at the head of the bolt... real friggin close and just check there aint a little "L" on it anywhere if nut.... you might be able to see which way the thread turns
  8. did you ask ross to ask his mate?
  9. You tryin to get the pulley off the alternator? or am I drunk (already)? Or you tryin to remove whole alternator? edit: nevermind... just got it into my friggin head... no slots in anything to wedge a bar thru???? not a left hand thread is it?
  10. And thats where most people get confused about the "shortening shocks" bizzo...if they are doing the shaft, will make no difference if it's the body hitting the top mount... buy a shorter bodied shock.
  11. put my tools in the boot... hard to believe it sits 110mm off the ground an the exhaust is 40mm... till ya park it behind an old isuzu ute with 2in lowering blocks an no bump stops and i'm still lower!
  12. barstard! i'm sittin on 60 demerits and coz a car ran up the arse end of work truck while I was goin backwards , I'm gettin done for careless... oh well... when it goes to court, 3 months and then no demerits!
  13. Yeah... might have to do something... only found it when I was lowering the arse und... also found the end of one sill is stuffed... and the bottom of the passenger door... and.... got till july tho
  14. right at the top of the inner guard above the wheel... none on the outer at all first time I've ever seen that!
  15. what about where my inner-rear guard joins the outer-rear quarter? makes it hard to belive she had a warrant done 2 weeks before I bought it (oh well, time to borrow a mig)
  16. just dragging up old stuff coz I was trying to find out about structural rust (yeah, found some) but all the LTSA links are stuffed... any ideas?

    there's some dude selling pre-cut tints to suit your car on tardme... start at about $78 a full car... nearly cheaper than buying 2 rolls and cutting it yourself (major hassle, especially with and old car that has felt around windows )
  22. Like the wheels... I used to have a 59 ute over in oz... sold it when I found the rear quarters were chicken wire and bog still, got more than I paid for it. Had the same crap exhaust!
  23. true... typical of kapiti council morons tho....
  24. What a fuckin stupid idea!!! Who had their brains in their arse for that to happen???
