MichaelJFox Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Picked this up the other day for awesome travel while the Merc's being a massive cunt. Got it with my tax return, seeing I have no job. Overheated twice on the drive home, the radiator fan wires were squashed underneath the engine on the mounts!?! But that's all fixed and wired up now, the radiator itself isn't amazing. If anyone has any details on how to pump up the suspension and remove some from the rear then awesome, otherwise I'm bumped stopped for now in the front.

(First lot from TM listing) You can see the suspension valves here, anyone know who can put the right gas in them and take some out the back? (Can't just use air? haha) All bogan in the reflection, lol. They do mean with banded wheels, first I need a matching set. Anyone got any? Missing the of the front type, got the spare.

MichaelJFox Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Got informed while driving that my brake lights didn't work, instead my reverse lights came on? Who knows. Got that all fixed, the switch at the top of the brake pedal was oxidized as fuck. Whacked some decent speakers in the front, and some crappy CD player. Still having an over heating problem after the fan fixing. Might have to get the head off and check the gasket. Besides from that, nothing major to report. Will photoshop up a decent mockup I think, some inspiration. /too many cold n flu pills atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Replaced the thermostat yesterday, was some seriously loose shit going on in there. Here's a shot of it apart, and the 'gasket'. Gave it all a clean, new thermostat, new coolant etc Back together, may have solved over heating a bit for now, gasket will be next on the list. Notice the lovely round screw holes?! Haha, till' next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Bordem got the best of me. Got a decent cd player/speakers in there now. Need some 12" tyres for the back. Raped the spare hood for lols/being awesome/ghey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Was uploading photos and this almost made coffee exit my face with lols: Just a normal relationship innit. Anyway, commence headgasket pics. All cleaned put back together etc. Also, sold out and its going to Strong Bros on friday morning to get the suspension taken' off the stops. $85 ffs. And will also slam the rear because its gay bus spec atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lezani Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I have one of these - suspension has to be pumped up and for that I take it to BMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I can't be bothered looking for the discussion thread but you can make a pump from a grease gun.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 ^ Yeah, suspension was fucked. Is now probably a toaster somewhere, engine is in a mini though. (Down in Welly I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
