Hey guys,

hasn't been my week. went to a suspension place onsaturday and they told me that the rubbers on the ends of the swaybars are gone, so no biggy, get them replaced. then there was a crack in the castor rod, no probs get them replaced with a wheel alignment, now the whole thing feels tight with the new swaybars in place :rolleyes:. but I have had an electrical gremlin for a while so I left it at an electrician since monday morning. they think they have fixed the problem which makes my alarm go crazy and lose all power to everything in the car (no not the battery, that is only new). thought I might get the air confixed up while its there and they have had to retrofit it with the new gas because mine was R12. Thought that was weird cause mine is a 93 model, but oh well. called him up and now he said the air con is working intermittently, on 1 sec, off the next. so he is trying to work that out.

but also that before I took teh car down there, my bonnet catch bracket was a little rusty and has snapped, so I get my car back tommorow and it goes straight down to the smash repairer to get that fixed.

hope it goes well after this, I want to get my new brakes in the next few weeks which cost $1200 fitted with new pads and discs all round.

anyone else having a bad week?

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
