4ABHGE's Red Lunch Box - Goners!

[Bristowe]

Accidentally went for a drive a drive in the snow...

IN A POST NUCLEAR FUTURE ONLY TWINCAMS ARE TOUGH ENOUGH TO SURVIVE

wicked 82 dude :)

weather looks miserable, I hope your heater was working!

[jeffy]

^ hehehe heater ;3

[4ABHGE]

Thanks man! The heater was working, only problem was the car was constantly on cold start when i turned it on which wasnt fun through the twisties or in the snow! lol all fixed now though :)

[4ABHGE]

Update:

Didnt end up going track, car wasnt ready because...

Driveshaft is poo and clicking a bit too much now, it will have to wait till wednesday

Clutch is poo because leaking clutch slave/piston and hence i have no clutch pedal feel and its causing some crunching

Catch can is installed, and i should probably say some good news in this thread... update with some piccies in the morning maybe?

[ben yip]

oh no

[4ABHGE]

oh no

Nothing to worry about, will get it all fixed on wednesday in a few hours, already have the parts stashed away ;)

[4ABHGE]

Recently bought some of these for a cheap price from a Honderp driver

They are Toyo R888's and apparently only used for 2 track days...

See? still a fair bit of tread left :)

I installed my catch can not too long ago...

*Le ugly engine bay pic*

So once i get this car's reliability woes sorted, im aiming for a 1:46'er at Winton in June if the weather permits :D

Action driveshafts in Dandenong sell good shafts cheap, about 90-100 each. They are pre-balanced from factory so don't have the balance beams/weights on them, I used these on my Corolla and were great for the price. Get a lightweight flywheel and you'll your target time :)

[4ABHGE]

Now the other driveshaft which i just changed 2 weeks ago to the AE92 one i had laying around went to poo and is constantly clicking...

New ones will be ordered in the morning and clutch slave changed tomorrow night.

Trung: Yeah Im definitely going to get one but It will be down the line when the clutch gives signs of giving up... Flywheel isnt the easiest thing to change...

[4ABHGE]

Some vanity shots, the daily wheels are back on for daily duties and the KU36's have now worn out :)

Put new driveshafts in, theyre both reco'd AE92 SX items (sorry only got one pic)

And some better piccies of the catch can and motor...

[jeffy]

Shell in cnr Main rd and Station rd ?

Lookin gooo !

[4ABHGE]

Nah, the one in Melton ;)

[cruzer]

So ur drive shafts went ? :P

[4ABHGE]

Yeah too much powwaz and too many skidz :P

In other news:

I found the cause of my knocking in the right suspension, the ball joint was loose where it connects to the control arm :| and also I may have a possible wheel bearing failure because there is all this extra road noise coming into the cabin, could be my crappy daily tyres though? :s

FFS!!

[cruzer]

I just re did the bearings last weekend they were crushed :/

[4ABHGE]

Juvenile: Thats flippin awesome man!! where'd you find it? :D

Cruzer: Damn!! did you have really loud road noise just before it happened?

Yeah sounded like noisy tyres also when u turned the wheels there was a grinding noise and a knocking noise most disgusting sound ive ever heard

[4ABHGE]

Yeah pretty much what i have, but it hasnt got that horrible noise when i turn yet, but i think the tyres(?) are squaling when i go around a corner regardless of the speed, atleast it sounds like the tyres...

[juvenile]

Juvenile: Thats flippin awesome man!! where'd you find it? :D

haha I thought you would appreciate that, looks great huh...

Was someones background image on Minkara somewhere, if I come across it again i'll send you the link...

I bet this will be going viral on 82OC if hasn't already ;)

Aside from the usual AE82 emo moments, today I got a quote for an exhaust today from Highpoint mufflers, had a chat to the bloke there and they seem all right and got quoted a good price. They did say that 2 inch mandrel bent is too big for a 4AGE though.. but people have told me a lot of things that were wrong, the standard piping is 1.75 inches and very restrictive up top.

I was thinking 2.25 but ill just go with a 2" system, one reso and a magnaflow muffler.. also broomstick cat ;)

Also may have found a front hub to do a quick fix on the wheel bearing and im ordering parts for the clutch master tomorrow morning.

Maybe in June, I need to fix a whole lot of things before I go... Yeah Ive heard 888's are one of the better semi slicks you can get, cant wait to try them out :)
