If you can buy the wreck at a good price (assuming most of the components are Ok) you could get yourself an RS4T and transfer all the good bits over.

Broke the motor ....or maybe if i'm lucky just blew a seal out in the turbo!

lot more smoke than that LOL......yeh went a got the car trailer!

Cop's(hwy) turned up while I was loading it.

Stupid question from them too as I was winching the car into the trailer:

Cop "What are you doing?

Me "If I have to spell it out bud there's a problem"

Cop "I asked you a question!"

Me "winching my car into the trailer officer "

Cop "are you being a smart arse?"

Me "I tell you what bud.....why don't you tell me what you would like me to say!......I don't want to be Captain Obvious here but really....what the f#$K do you think I am doing?"

Cop "Is this you car?"

Me Just answered that! "You want to buy it?

Dad " Craig shut up and keep loading the car I'll talk to the officer"

Me "Good idea.....I'm not dealing with fools very good ATM!"

Cop "Excuse me!"

Me " Yup you are!"

5 minutes later

Dad "Alway's have to be a smart arse don't you"

[PN-Mad]

"Officer, why the #*%& would I steal a Volvo....????"

[Dunc]

Dad " Craig shut up and keep loading the car I'll talk to the officer"

[rb26stagea]

keeps lube in glove box for next time plod sees car on road

[SMOKEYV35]

ow unlucky, hopefully just a seal and you havent sent an exhaust wheelll through the works.

spent yesterday arvo, and all day today cleaning the InsIDE of my car. took off all the seals, cleaned and conditioned them, cleaned all the doors and door jams, sunroof seals etc, hit all the furry stuff with upholstery cleaner.....it was an epic battle. also relocated the gizmo EBC from out of the glove box where it was rattling around, to just under the headunit. need to hook up a kill switch in the event that i get pulled over, but looks trick.

next weekend it will be exterior, and weekend after that, engine bay and underbody - but i'm slowly getting there! it'll be mint once its done.

question, does anyone have trouble with the rear sunroof not sealing up? it looks like the rear edge of mine could go up another 2-3mm - and i reckon it's letting water in. it tends to fog after a wash with the high pressure hose? tried to manually wind it a bit further, but wouldnt budge.

[chef_stagea]

smokey... ive had this drama with mine b4.. passenger side at the rear, or the rear sunroof??

a guy on here put a little plate in his to hold it up... as theres no adjustment for close height as far as im aware... if there is its maxxed out.

do a search and u will find what im talking bout

[SMOKEYV35]

sounds pretty similar chef. mine is on the drivers rear, and it's not letting water into the car - but there is enough of a gap for me to tell that it would be sending water down the guttering rather than letting the seal do it's work.

i found this: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/104404-leaky-body-sunroof-2.html

sounds like what you're talking about, did you do the same on yours??

got my alignment done

can someone have a squiz and tell me if the messed anything up?

i asked him to dial in as much caster as possible and he seemed confused and said "i don't think you will notice that on road tyres mate"

Thanks

Faark dude, even with my best squint I can't read that properly, hope someone's got better eyes than me. I'll have 6 beers and come back to it.

Around +5 deg 22" left, +4 deg 41" caster; -1 deg camber and +0.5mm toe was optimal on my old r31, and it needed camber/caster adjustable strut tops to get there; obviously there'll be some differences given the rear can also be aligned. How were they adjusting the caster? Are your caster rods adjustable?

On my NM35 they're not...
