Hi guys, been a while since i posted.
Developed a bad rattle from what sounds to be from the exhaust, will chuck it up on the hoist at work and try pin point it. was wondering if there is anything common to look for in regards to the rattle.

Also tinting the fog lights yellow and replacing the headlights this weekend.
Replacing a few worn bushes at the front.

Fixed the rattle, was a broken bracket holding onto the headers, all fixed now.
Fog lights done and bushes done

this was from a jdm meet near me,

Which is also when i noticed it had a lot of swirls, so the next day at work i got the detailing department to give it a nice cut and polish

The car a mate and i were wrecking had Sony speakers in it, probably not very good but better than stock so ive now obtained them

Will be going in with the old sub and amp from the calais and a new head unit once my fascia kit arrives


Head unit is a jvC KW-AV70BT with inbuilt bluetooth for calls and streaming.


(and yes, something seems wrong with my phone it is taking extra bad photos)

The Fascia kit

Also have the patch leads so i dont have to chop up any of the factory wiring.

Soldered it all up to the head unit wiring, like so.

In other news ive had to change the LHF Wheel bearing, had it up on the hoist at work and could move the wheel in a bad way.

Thats all fixed up now.

So i was putting the window down last night on a late night kebab run and it only came half way down.

When i went to put the window back up i heard a heartbreaking screech....

The little clips that hold the window to the reg had snapped off.

new clips on their way and re tinting to be done once the clips arrive, in the mean time it looks like this.

Ok So the parts i needed to fix the window have arrived.... finally.

These need to me sikraflexed to the window, not sure when i will find time to do these as the window will have to stay out of the car for a couple hours.

Maybe... just maybe ill find time to do it tonight.

These are thicker than the originals so hoping they wont crack.

Okay, lots of frustrating updates.


As you know i recieved the new window clamps last night, i then proceeded to try and fit them to the car.

You can see here where the old clip had broken.

11831721_10205786954565341_1724108761452


I spent about 20 minutes trying to free the rest off the clip by cutting the old glue with a blade but this wasnt working so i had to rip the dremel out once again and cut the old one down the middle like so

Once all that was done i spent some time cleaning the window to perfection, then lined up the new clips (without gluing them on just yet)

Fit the window to the regulator and put the window up to make sure all fits well.

In the process bending the regulator and snapping the nylon bush on one of the arms which must of already been on its way out as the regulator hadnt even struggled.

And WHY? you may asked this happened.

Because the new clips are an incorrect fit so when the window goes up they touch another part of the regulator putting strain on the system.


So now i need

-A new glass (with clips attached)

-A new Regulator

-The re tint


luckily as i am in the trade the regulator is only $70, The glass only $95 and the retint $40.

The Regulator is already in my possession and the glass is on its way.


lesson: The cheap way usually becomes the expensive way :doh:

DONE!!!!

So i finally got the window fixed, although it wasnt without more failure.

As i went to put in the new reglulator i realised that i have recieved the wrong one........ yes.......... gotta love wrong parts :censored::upyours::bang::ranting:


BUT alas i was able to use a part from the new reg to fix the old one, i then put the new window glass in, tested it 1000 times before and while driving to tint-a-car.

long story short.. its fixed

As you can see i had to jack the car up to change the window :rofl2:

My clutch started slipping so i decided to change it..

1 driveshaft is split and needs to be reconditioned, the other. welllllllllllll..... It didnt want to come out and i uh... broke it

So yes 2 reconditioned drive shafts to come.


The cup of the driveshaft is still stuck on the box, going to attempt to get it off once the box is out as ill have a lot more room.

Everything was going so smoothly until that moment :bang:


Have some pictures

EDIT: oh and yes i bought the clutch, and the tools... ended up going with a Clutch Industry Heavy Duty clutch, also bought all the bearings to go along with it.

Up bright and early to finish this job.

10329050_10205958478493332_3755692103529


Box out.

The thrust bearing is actually crusty and hard to turn, lucky i got to it in time. It started putting some nice big grooves in the pressure plate springs.

I was able to get the remainder of the drive shaft out once the gearbox was out.

so it was time to head off to M & S driveshafts to get them reconditioned.

11987143_10205958479533358_1548170760249

11947538_10205958480533383_6107940416514



Oh and of course it just wouldnt be right if the clutch actually fit. nope still never received the correct part first go for this car.

So now im waiting for the correct clutch to be to get delivered hopefully with in the next hour.

Well last night i had put most of the car back together: Flywheel, clutch, gearbox, driveshafts are all back in all that was left was to change the oil in the gearbox, fit the slave, bleed the system, fit the airbox and battery.

I got as far as trying to put the slave in and guess what, i managed to strip the thread on the line...
So this is how she looked this morning

11960081_10205964670968140_6169191450632

All mounts in and bolted up

Sadly though it was time for work.

NOW, i can get started fixing that thread for the clutch line.

10848033_10205964671968165_2399716387246

The heavy duty clutch feels much better and grips a lot more :D
