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.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
