Aaron Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 + Dylann's Enkeis (check) Picked them up today. Plan is to chuck my 155's on them for a nice streched look (as below) Next up, + Exhaust manifold has a leak, so need to replace the gasket Wish me luck.

Aaron Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 + Exhaust manifold has a leak, so need to replace the gasket. (fixed/checked) Finally discovered the cause of the "mysterious ticking noise", it was the gasket. It had fully cracked so got that shit fixed. Next (i hope), + Get the rust fixed on the drivers side, and also fix the drivers side pillar (has a nice dent in it somehow) Sounds pricey.

Aaron Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 **Update** Sooo0ooo0ooo... potential blown head gasket/cracked head. Mechanic didn't actually take the head off and have a look, but wanted to charge me $1500. Got hold of another mechanic up the road, says he will do it for free if I can get the parts. Radiator is poked, so trying to suss another one (any ideas on an upgrade?) Also installed a single 4" speaker in the front (want to keep the door cards unmolested) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 **Update** Alrighty, so the cars running and currently sitting like this, thanks to this. So, got a spare radiator fan and hooked it up, didnt work. Which leads me to believe that the relay has pooped itself. Also, thought I would share what I accomplished in Photoshop. Aaron out.

Aaron Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 **Update** This is what happens when you think you can drift. Went to Brugar Engineering to and got a quote of $160.

Aaron Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 **Update** + Lowered: Check! + Get the rust fixed on the drivers side: Check! So, thanks to Johnny (kiwi808) and the boys out at Repco this weekend, we managed to get the fender mirrors on. Also, popped some new springs in the beast, so it's sitting about 50mm lower. Currently the backs are un-captive and the fronts are just captive. Getting shocks shortened tomorrow, so should be looking a bit like this.

Aaron Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 **Update** Alright, so we're back on hotwires. 13x7 with 185/60/13's all round Had to work on the rears gaurds to stop the scrapping. Gave them a nice polish with some Autosol, came out sooo nice. Before: After: So no need for spacers, cause the gaurds are pretty much all filled out. Can only just get the tip of my shoe in there. Also, Gillmers fitted! Here's a video. http://youtu.be/ZN-ZjSGnGmQ Rattilng noise is the airbox, dunno why it does that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
