Morning Mangs,

+1

Been here since 7, for that entire time managers have been sitting here with their morning chit-chat routine, preventing me from wasting time on SAU etc :D

How was the weekend?

Good. Won the WDC in a williams, and got a drive in a red bull alongside hitler's youth for next season. G27 is kick arse.

Also regreased all my bushes (that's what she said), car is considerably less squeaky now. Brakes still a bit squeaky and so are the front swaybar links. The swaybar links are pillowball with no grease nipple - I'm not sure how to lube them up. Ideas?

MTB is at the shop to day to get the gears adjusted and brakes fixed up. He didn't seem too optimistic about the brakes though :down:

Sounds like a successful weekend. It was raining all weekend on the coast so I did some assignmenting at uni on Saturday arvo then went home had kfc watched movies and played poker. Sunday I did all my shopping and cleaned the unit then played more poker lol. Played 6k hands and broke even. So lame.

Good moaning.

Morning Mangs,

It was ok. Got stuck inside on Saturday due to the rain and had to watch the AFL GF. It wasn't so bad as I had beers, chips and other assorted artery hardening food stuffs.

Moar grease on teh brakes?? :D

The only way Ican think to lube up the swaybar endlinks is the remove them.

So glad I didn't have to watch either of those GFs... GayFL FTL.

Yeah need to borrow Dan's copper grease again so I can lube them up.

I can remove them, but how to i get grease into the pillowbally bit without a grease nipple?

Nice fail recipe

Mangs,

Weekend was decent. Went to Movie World on Saturday and got some cool t-shirts. Watched some LOST and ate KFC on Sunday.

TAFE is boring today. All repeat info on OH&S. Might pass the time with some Stephen King.

how so?

Probably f**ked calipers. Bleed them up but can't get any feel to them.

f**kin win. The 31 is going to be in a movie :(

Do it, you skirt

Got outbid on the head because I'm too much of a lowballer for the buy it now price. Auction didnt meet the reserve anyway but ahwell.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
