Hey all,

I just took my car out for a complete thrash as im not gonna have it for a few weeks while the whole thing gets fixed, my final quote came in at about 2600..... but i dont have to pay a cent, ill need to ask some one to back into me next time i want something resprayed... haha oh well.

Just wanted to say how good it is when its cold, i took my car down a street i know fairly well, flat change second (completely dry) and it steped out for a bit, on comes the shift light and bang into third and it stepped out again?? i couldnt believe it my car has never done that before... What are u guys greatest achievements when chagning into third in the dry?? Slip got to see the results of doing it at about 80-90 in the wet~!! haha that was fun.

Cheers

John

i never flat shift mine cos its too stressful on the gearbox driveshaft, clutch etc, best mines ever done was hang its tail out in 3rd gear with a full load of pasengers :) so it does give abit of power ! cold nights like tonite (may go for a drive hehe) have me doin awesome launches at lights, and POD filter sounds oh so lovely. In the wet i dont do nehting stupid cos i lose traction instantly 1st, 2nd and 3rd sumtimes!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
