V8Pete Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Eep! I can get replacement needle bearings for $100 so will just do that. Any idea of the specifics of what he spent the 4 G on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Where are the needle bearings from, Pete? I really should have just bought that 309 gti on trademe a month or two ago... None of the wreckers I've called have a rear beam or want to rape my wallet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
