which glass?

anyway -

front/rear screen : cant do anything without pulling the windows

rear 1/4 windows : cant do anything without pulling the windows

outside of door window seal: one screw at the back of the door, easier to remove with the mirrors off from memory

inside window rubbers : remove the garnish between door jam and rear 1/4, then just pop the little plugs out and remove

inside door: pop the plugs at each end then stretch the rubber over the pointy studs that are stuck into the door

So if you wanted to take your car into a windscreen mob, is it an easy job to replace the rear window rubber seals with new ones? My front one is new and looks great but it makes the rear one look like crap.

easy yes (i used BA falcon generic rubber) - but obriens etc dont cover your screen - so if they break it, you gotta pay for a new one

Well that sucks. I'm guessing it's the same deal with the side ones? My car had the weather shields on it when I bought it and when I took them off it made a lot of damage on the rubber, pisses me off every time I look at it (for 5 years now lol).

      Gates is saying the same thing. They think I have the right bag with the wrong hose in it... I bought it off amazon, I'm thinking someone pulled a good old swapparoo and returned normal hose. Well looks like she's coming back out... Not very lucky with this hose lol.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
