Went to the Hare and Forbes sale today and pickup up a thread insert set and a bush driver set. Could have spent a small fortune...

I was in there today as well. Bought that llarge HSS drill set, some 125mm soft jaws for the vice and also that nice step down drill set. It was very busy today, lots of wide eyed adults looking like they were kids in a candy store.

I'm a huge supporter of china shit tools.

Basically having the right tool for the job is always better than having a top quality wrong tool and using it in the wrong way. For me a good example is that I could afford a H&F press, drill press etc that I would never to be able to afford in a quality brand. And frankly if I use it once a month it really doesn't matter if it fails on me quicker than a good quality one. I wouldn't look at it the same way if I used it every day for business

That rule doesn't always hold for me of course; in particular common things like spanners, ratchets etc that I use more regularly I buy mid quality to save my knuckles....

This, except for stuff that tends to break - circlip pliers, quarter inch drive sockets, easy outs....

I was looking online and Masters have a Felo Ergonic Screwdriver Set 6 Piece for only $40

http://www.masters.com.au/product/100884747/felo-ergonic-screwdriver-set-6-piece

That is really cheap

Went and checked them out today. The exact same ones but a 5 piece set was nearly double the price.

There was two sets left after I grabbed a set if anyone was interested. The chullora store.

ive had a few sets of felo screwdrivers, they are definitely worth the money. i used them everyday as a sparky with no dramas. only ever had one break and that was the terminal flathead and only after a retarded apprentice used it to lever a 2mm thick bit of tin out of a 20mm holesaw.

Made another simple Cool Tool today for the purpose of removing and fitting Lower Control Arm Bushes in the R31.

Not my idea but it works well and hopefully it will be just as good for the Trailing Arm Bushes. We shall see...

Piece of pipe, Threaded bar with nuts, Washers from some R31 Castor rods. Priceless.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
