Suspension is sorted :) No more rubbing on the guards, not bottoming out on every bump on the road. Hooray!

12mm increase has made ALL the difference!

I need to go visit those dudes for an alignment some time soon as well, how much did the new bushes set you back?

All up it was $900ish. That included the new bushes, alignment, adjustable camber arm and getting them to raise the suspension slightly. I've got an itemised invoice in the car, will check it later and let you know the price for each bit.

Friendly guys, great service. Car feels completely different and is a lot more confidence inspiring now that I'm not constantly worried about it bottoming out and scraping the guards/front bar.

Sighhhhhh more shit to do on the car...

1. Headlight lenses smokey (its a 33 -_-)

2. Wiper blades need replacing

3. Small chip in windscreen

4. Bare wiring in engine bay (just need to hook them up to the sensors)

5. Clutch bite point too low

6. Front bump stops need replacing >_< this is the only annoying one.

Yeah heard about that on the radio. Messed up.

45 minutes to go!

That's what she said.

Unlucky :(

nice one, yeah they are good, and luckily are walking distance from my house!

Dealer finally came through and fixed the aircon today. Which is good. However I think i'm getting some kind of cold (unrelated to aircon), which is bad. Sigh.

Sigh... Another day at work. Less then 2 weeks to go until new job however, can't come soon enough.

Anyone besides me going to the SAUQld BBQ tomorrow?

None of us are cool enough to go.

Nah I'm not part of sauqld so I wouldn't even know it's on

Saw your post on faceparty. What was the damage?

Got done over at Indroopilly BP, the one just across the road from KFC, out the front of Myer.

Pulled into the petrol station, and as I pulled up noticed that there was an undercover car filling up as well. Started screaming in my head as I calmly started filling up.

Sure enough, within seconds, the chick cop that wasn't filling the car up wanders over, tape measure in hand already, and starts asking about the roll cage.

At this point I was still hopefull that she was merely trying to find out whether I was built proportion all round but I was bitterly dissapointed when she started measuring the height of the car.

She then asked me to pay for the fuel and pull the car up just up ahead, out of the way.

Listed:

car too low

wheels too wide

roll cage not plated

no rear seats

number plate not mounted properly

aftermarket steering wheel with no padded centre

She then said they were going to get in contact with another officer who knew the laws around modified cars a bit better, and also go check my licence...

At this point, not a happy camper, as I was informed that this would be a court appearance.

When she came back, said that I seemed like a nice guy, and if my driving record checked out, they would let me go if I agreed to have the car towed home, as she couldn't allow me to drive the car home in its current state. Farken hell yes. She said that I had to get the car mod plated for the cage and rear seats and to fit different wheels. She said she wasn't sure about the steering wheel, but recommended getting a rcw place to check it out.

Called RACQ, had the car towed home, and organising an engineer to come give me a mod plate for the cage and two seat conversion.

So, overall was a bit of a hassle waiting an hour for the tow truck, but way better than having to go to court and have the entire car inspected.

That's got to suck. I live near there and I am always extra cautious due to the number of cops you see around with three stations in a couple of blocks (well two and the police beat.)

At least she was nice enough not to f**k you up about it all.

    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
    • Thanks guys - I have been overseas for a hectic many weeks , so haven't had time to chase any of these up.  Some of the suggestions are for 4.1 ratio, which I already have, and a 3.5 at Lonsdale, which is also too tall.  Really looking for 3.9 or even a 3.7 LSD, either with M12 bolts. Will look some more.
