  1. yeah. have the car on axel stands and jack up the arm that the spring sits on till its captive, then jam the shock on to hold it there.
  2. This. get it to hold the spring captive then 1-2 extra turns to hold it in there is how iv always done it.
  3. boring picture-less update...... finally got myself back in the black so have started amassing stuff for the car have purchased 1 Bosch 044 fuel pump, 2x fuel pump brackets (1 for the 044, 1 for the 070) and some MRP/Fortune Auto coilovers, should be the goods, next will be the wilwood order =) edit, found a pic of said suspension, shit is flash
  4. this will give you about 1/4 a turn each way http://www.ajps.com.au/parts/extra_lock_spacers.php
  5. back in the day we got the K50 plate made into a 4 puk job by clutch systems with a standard 4age pressure plate and it was sweet as, never had any issues like that
  6. ha fuck me someone is taking the piss with those electric water pumps. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DAVIES-CRAIG ... 085wt_1108 Its the better alloy pump and controller for mucho cheaper. have ceen them cheaper than this too
  7. glow plugs would be my first bet, prob the cheapest and easiest fix too, possibly glow plug relay also. glow plugs will sting you like $25 ish from BNT or repco
  8. Learner Driver!!!???? all this effort to make it mint and you / your letting a learner drive it??? WAT!
  9. those wheels are so sweet for what they cost. my flatmate got a brand new set when they just came out for $500.
  10. 99.9999% of people with adjustables put them in set the height and thats it. thats how the majority of competition (drift) cars iv com across) are run, maybe the odd damper adjustment but iv never seen someone adjust preload "hardness" as you said it. and most of the stuff iv read lately basically says that all the cheapish coilovers (BC D2 Tein xyz cusco etc etc) the adjustment actually doesnt do sweet fuck all when put on a shock dyno.....
  11. what about getting springs made and adjustable konis or something and keeping the stock setup. wont be height adjustable tho
  12. / dont bother, large ish expense for sfa gain. 2tg or 4age ftw
  13. Because the guys that write the laws are all hot rod guys, so are out for themselves..
  14. sweet progress man. Could try get the grease caps polished to match the wheels??
  15. i know the guys a Lowes in chch (make alloy fuel tanker trailers) use a spool type alloy welder and the welds are amazing. Prob worth like $20k tho
  16. gay news on the camber. IIRC these run the gay trailing setup, which cam be made camber adjustable by fitting cam lobe style bolts on one of the front mounts for the trailing arm, One does camber and one does toe from memory. kinda like this http://e30m3project.com/e30m3performanc ... /index.htm
  17. just take the tank out. its not hard 1/2 hour to an hour max. but if you cant do that you are going to have to pay someone to do it, which will probably cost you $200 just to remove and re install the tank. thus blowing your estimate out of the water instantly. you will NEVER get the car 100% rust free, 80s toyotas were factory fitted with rust, even if you cant see it, its there. putting a bandaid on a stab wound really. that being said get everything you can see done PROPERLY, it will probably be good for another 10+ years. But it wont be cheap for a good job. Listen to DANGER, he knows what he is on about.
  18. 1 : if the company is elite, dont expect much, biggest bunch of useless wankers iv delt with. 2 : how is sticker bombing anything but "gay" 3 : iv yet to hear a valid argument that the JDM wheels are worth it, bar the "they are real/gotta have JDM/the others are just copies etcetc" Id much rather pay $250 a wheel for a 15x9 -10 that is readily available / replaceable and from any more that 5m away looks exactly like the original. Dont get me wrong tho if i could get a 15x9-10 for the price of a new set of rotas etc id pick the "real" one every time, but in reality that will never happen.
  19. might be some overseas model, they have ke55s in aus which as far as i can tell look likefacelift ke30s
  20. between the carb and manifold, manifold and head
  21. they have 40w70 engine oil in perth repcos, look for that lol
  22. Quoted for truth...... God i hate the whole "stance/hella flush" bullshit. Mate, i can see your wheels are sweet i dont need to be told its hella flush/stanced , especially when its on a gay as aids windom. The whole "stance" thing is almost as gay as stickerbombing...
  23. ^ can get pretty much all of the 15x8 rip off wheels in like +20 offset too man, and 0 offset bearly hang out
  24. ^ thank fuck, was thinking you were going for the record of following the most clapped out gay fads on one car. 10 points for removing gay, gay stickers oh and +1 for just getting rip off wheels, "JDM YO" wheels are such a rip imo
  25. use the bumper as a seat??
