yup, leases can be traps. You're not really "owning" anything. Of course with employer deductions and things it can be worthwhile, but otherwise.

mj: yeah, went very well.. here is pretty much the sum of it:

It may be a while before i can take it out and really test it to see whether it really made a difference, but i suspect it will.

hey smooth, did you get gav to look at your car? whats the go with it?

Nope, he was too busy...

Havnt really driven it so I will take it in next week hopefully...

I had a mate come over he thinks its a combination of black thin oil... very slipping clutch... and sparkplugs a bit fouled...

Also confirmed th sound was coming from the idle pulley which isnt a prob...

Will get it compression tested at gav's to see if there is any probs with the engine etc

:wavey:

the plastic pipe was installed by the previous owner. Looks a bit scrappy, but held to the FMIC piping via a zip tie and cloth tape -- classy i know.

As we were saying the other day, bunnings could be a good place to get it. They have like plastic garden irrigation piping, which is about the right size, and can be bent to size. I've got mine running through the old return pipe for the stock IC (which I no longer have)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
