b) water is getting insight my rear tail lights. what can i use to seal up a crack on the outside of the tail light?.

C) a got quoted.. 450.00 for a wheel alignment, to zero and replacing two front tyres as they are getting bold. <--- yet it is onli a small patch where its bald tha rest of the tyres are full tread <--- 125.00 for two front tyres. and 200 bucks wheel alignment ... is this a fair price?

Replace them!
b) water is getting insight my rear tail lights.
That would be as distinct from the front tail lights? With water getting inside?
what can i use to seal up a crack on the outside of the tail light?.
Nail polish.

200 for a wheel alignment is a rip off. Shouldn't cost more than about $70.

If you have Japanese suspension, ditch it. If you have factory / original suspension, replace it. In both cases, refer the group buy on suspension.

A) sht replace them.. i knew there was no alternative..

B) nail polish ... hmm will try that for sure thanks mate

C) wtf st george tyres said 200 bucks for the alignment jipping kents

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
