Cheers for that cubes!

Do you do this in your shed with the car on Jack stands, or is a hoist really more necessary?

Also, where can you get a flywheel machined southern suburbs, and any idea of cost?

Cheers!

I've only done one on the ground with jack stands and found it quite easy.

The old man used to have a pit in the house he recently sold; doing a gearbox in the pit was easy to get to bolts etc BUT getting the thing up and down was a pain in the arse as I had no gearbox lift. :D

No idea of where to get a flywheel machined down south, I used to do it down at a mates girlfriends dads mechanics shop at Aldinga when I was younger. I'll have to look soon though as Im up for another clutch soon. :S

Last time I had my flywheel machined the machinist did it as it was also being balanced for the new motor.

Ohhhh noooo scandyflick!!

What happened to the soara?

its still available afaik.

but using the money to move out will be infinitely better for my sanity.

ill have to wait and see though.

:) i'm sooooooooooooo happy today hehe

the lady (Lois) i help out in the op shop asked me today what i'm gonna do

after i've finished me hours there. i said i'd probably continue working there

and she had the biggest smile on her face.

i've only been there just over a month and they already trust me hehe

it's great.

she said it's hard to come by people like me :) (you should all take note of that :))

I tried to do some local volunteer work early last year.

It was a government organisation that helped elderly people get to there doctor's apointments, specialists, etc, etc. So i got all the info and arranged to have a meeting with the manager. And i got there and they laughed at me and said "why would a young person like you want to do that" so i went "ok" then and left.

f**k them if they are gonna laugh at me. Try to do something to help the community.

its still available afaik.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
