Woot. Coils, sways and hicas lock goin in tomorrow. Can't wait :D

How did you survive this long without any of those? I mean, stock suspension for superior acceleration, but no hicas lock or sways? them's cheap easy first mods mang.

the joys of buying from the US and getting a cd player for half price shipped than what you get here :D

where from?

i need a single din headunit with usb mp3 capability...

that panasonic in my car is getting dated, cds, pffft, who uses cds nowadays..

got one for the golf too during their Black Friday sale thing. lol @ local shops, even with their christmas sale couldn't match it.

Only sucky part is that the US uses some homo Digital Radio frequency, whereas Australia uses a good quality frequency with a higher sample rate... which means buying digital radio tuners from the US isn't gonna work :(

I still use CDs :P If I plug my iPhone in it tends to go flying whenever I take a corner quickly.

So it's never actually flown then?

I've got a stack of SD cards, picked up 20 512mb ones for like $20 off fleabay. They're slow class 1 or 2 SD's but fuck, all they do is hold MP3's. Takes up little space and easy as to put music onto and you can leave it in your car.

That way I have a different SD for different genres etc.

well turns out the cd player will work as long as the FM frequency is in the Australian frequency range of 87.9MHz - 107.9MHz it'll be fine and this one is

apparently the AM is shit but no one listens to it anyway

of course, but its regular payments so financially the ghd would be a better long term solution.

wtf? homo

peasant frequency FM is fine, US and AU are the same. US Digital Radio is different to AU Digital Radio tho, just like them backward nga's are still running around with CDMA phones in half the country while we're cruising mad 3G's.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • 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
