haha

yer

its missing

but its $280 for a new one and its genuine only

wreckers or nothnig dont have them

has to come from japan

and theres a big dent in the back corner and yer not pretty

otherwise its good

and on a rainy day

still goes the same

nothnig happens

its fine

what im doing next is putting arctic blue globes into my headlight and fog light =]

then getting some mesh and taking off the other scoop and putting it into the vents =]

i keep the photo of the dent away though

not a pretty site

yer man all fixed

see what happened the gear that goes into to the gearbox had somehow unscrewed

so what i did was screw it back in TIGHT =]

aint going anywhere now

now everything on the car is good

except for the small tapping from the timing cover

but thats not important

if it snaps

WARANTY cause guys before i bought the car didnt do it right =]

haha

and a few squeaking/knocking noises from my door trims which i have to secure

and i really bad knock/rattling from behind the glove box

so i gotta strip all that down when i have time

not major just annoying

fun isnt it =]

test your battery and your alternator and check all the fuses

could be a alt reg starting to bugger

ok

not a head gasket

it was a heater hose under the distributor that had burst and was spraying coolant onto the distributor

haha

so glad =]]

nah man

its hasnt

haha

im a mechanic

that cream is just condensation in the oil from water

you get it aswell from not driving your car

but yer

ima tk test it today

if it is

ima do a little tip of the trade and sell it =]]

blown head gasket =[[[[

but the thing is

if it was really that

it wouldnt idle properly either

but it idles perfect

ok the other day i was going about 80 km/h and i dropped from 5th to 3rd and floored it

it then just cut out and jumped back in

i was like "ok..."

so drove an extra 200 metres went around a round about and it just died again and wouldnt start

i left it for 5 minutes and tryed to start it and it started and idled

then i reved it and it sucked air in and just died again

left it for 10 minutes started and it was fine

but now when i accelerate it pretty much struggles

i can feel it as i go

what is this?

how much do you think parts for a blown head gasket will be

and a recon'd engine? including turbo

haha

no not that hard

i never really go the speed limit

but i dont overly speed

i know about how fast im going =]

but me and my workmates all rekon the the gear has just fallen out from behind the dash

cause it doesnt seem like a electronic speedo

and i dont have a tacho

just my rev meter =]

but ill pull out the dash myself and have a look over the week

im a mechanic so ill get my tools from work

haha

if anyone needs a mechanic hand just ask =]

other day im driving along

then i accelerate around a round about and i notice my speedo dial is just going everywhere

couple seconds later back to normal

then again it happens a couple minutes later

now when i drive it stays on 0

or moves between 0 and 20 ks

now

opinion

the gear on the gearbox is fryed

or its popped out from behind the dash

what do you rekon?

i did see someone taking pictures

just cant remember who?

thats the problem we have here

haha

yer it was good

though i was shy

haha

and i got stuck at the lights

and everybody left

and then got slowed down by cops on freeway

AND turned the wrong way onto leach highway

and STILL got there as you guys got to maccas =]

haha

still didnt get a race though =[

well ill be there either way

10 30 is easy

i wake up at 7 am 7 days a week

man

which one do you like better

5th or 6th?

they have equal power

cause its basically the same engines in them

no difference in power

but for the 6th

parts are prob easier to get

cause 5th are older

dba doesnt even make slotted discs for them anymore

so depends whether you want parts easier really

or looks to you
