Im buying a house next year with my partner and one of our main requirements is that it has a garage!!!

At my current house theres a car port but i can never park my car in it.

And i live in boddington at the mine camp most the time anyway so i just bought a car cover for it to protect it from evil gold dust

ModYourCar have a car cover that doesn't touch the car I think...lemme see if I can find the linky I saw before...

there ya go...seems quite expensive though, not sure how sturdy it is in a strong breeze.

just read it, says it's usually for indoor use, so maybe no go unless you can secure it.

There are so many faults with the above car cover.

It says doesn't touch the car but it touches the car when putting it on and taking it off so it will scratch the car if any dirt is on the car. The cover also touches the ground and rests on the ground when he is folding it up which will then get transferred onto the cover and then onto the car and scratch it when putting it on/taking it off.

My car lives outside but I got a car cover made specifically for it which is fully weather resistant and really soft on the inside for only $220, went through the whole winter and car was not affected at all by moisture, wind or anything.

P.s - still sucks to have the car outside but not for long as moving to a new place with 3 car garage so 32 can go indoors and rendering my car cover useless.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
