I'll take you up on that.. We'll go up the hampton esk road its nice and bendy :)

hahaha, haven't heard anything from Jason for a while now... must have been escorted out. :D

10 mins boys and the porn wasn't even on screen. God damn porn nazi's!!!!

weak.

In other news, i need a respray soon, anyone know some people that will do a good job for reasonable cash?

Going to go and pick it up shortly.

Really wish the idiots had have called me BEFORE they did any work though. Charging me $385 in labour because it took so long to try and track down a new unit for the fan... which they couldn't find, and wound up getting some holden unit, and that's another $80. If they had have just ASKED me, I would have said 'don't worry about it' bought one from the classifieds or wherever, and plugged it in myself. The fan wasn't even that much of an issue ffs.

Then they tell me a mechanic needs to do the reverse light. That my brake lights work fine (two witnesses say otherwise, as well as me braking outside a window at home every day) and that they've done nothing with the head unit or the alarm.

Not impressed. at all. Really pissed off would probably be a more appropriate description.

So don't anybody ever bother using Chermside Auto Electrical in Boothy Street at Kedron :D

Damn, thats Terrible!

What do they reckon is wrong with the reverse lights? I can't see any reason a mechanic would have to look at it, its ALL wiring except for the reverse switch, which is a switch on the side of the gearbox that takes 2 minutes to replace. Sounds like they just CBF.

What is wrong with the brake lights exactly?

As for the alarm, I'd be figuring out exactly what it does and doesn't do, and get whoever installed it for you to fix it for free.

Head unit... yeah, I guess we'll have to look at that further

Yea... Thats bs. I'm totally against people doing something without letting the owner know about it and then charging them for it. Its like "hey, your motor's f**ked and we swapped it with another 1 we have. That'll be 5 grand please." BS!

It's the reverse switch that is faulty apparently... telling me the gearbox has to be dropped to replace it (bs)

The brake light problem seems to be intermittent. Sometimes all four light up and the spoiler, sometimes the two centers lights up plus the spoiler, and sometimes just the two centers on their own.

The alarm doesn't go off when the boot/bonnet/or doors are opened (when armed) - and the turbo timer doesn't work one out of every ten times the car is turned off (usually when I really WANT it to turn on too).

and yeah, we'll have to investigate further with the head unit, and see if we can work out what's what.

oh, and on the way home the steering seemed to lose power. so that's probably the pump. GRRRRR!

Toowoomba... I'll be heading there this saturday!

Hope no trouble with the cops.

Make sure you don't park at chalk drive and make sure you do come to a complete stop at the top of the range or they'll get ya around the corner.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
