i could have bought my car cheaper, but i was super happy with them (was worth paying extra);

no dramas at all, even when we had a few small problems after we got the car home;

they fixed all for nix

NA_R33 - Yeah took a closer look and it looks like the rack is bent as well as a whole other bunch of stuff, so I am probably just gonna tow it to Gav's and let him sort out the mess! Thanks heaps for the help changing it and offering to help out, muchly appreciated :)

Pred - Man that is a pretty intesting door you had, I really wouldn't mind hearing bout it for the 500th time, I know what it's like as I have had to explain my traffic island "incident" like 500 times this week.

ska: whole rack bent? hmm, now looking quite expensive. Steering arm is one thing, but a whole replacement steering rack is not an easy job. Feel for you man :P

nexus: me? nah, just search VIC and search for "And you thought Gordo's bad luck had ended" thread..

Yeah well, was my own fault so cant bitch and whine about it, just pay for it and get it fixed, got a car trailer and something to tow it so now just gotta wait for the replacement mag to come in and take it to Gav's :P hopefully I might have enough left over to get a cat back exhaust :D maybe........... fingers crossed :D

It was actually pretty lucky I didnt have a after market front bar or side skirts as they would probably need replacing too, I am soooo lucky I didnt get any body work damage, but guess I kind compensated with the mechanical damage. Well if you're gonna do something, ya gotta do it RIGHT! :P

yeah.. exactly - you would have done them.. all those stupid bits of fibreglass are a pain in the ass.. my replacement front bar last year: $900 . Can end up costing just as much as the damn mechnicals..

For those interested in the story of the multicolour car read here.....

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
