Just FYI.... the first Texi in Sydney is June 12, and it's only $30 if it's your first time with us.

It's not *too* much of a shitful drive from here as Quakers Hill is just off the M7.

should be fine, how much power do you have?

Smoke-worthy power?

Im not sure, would be 140kw at the rears (ish) and about 390nM torque.

Enough for a 400m speed of 189km/h

Might bring a few sets of spares to see what gives good grip.

Hopefully I will have Pinky back on the road for the April local Motorkhana.. If all goes well, got my side indicators half installed, new mirrors on, will have my front indicators soon then get the front bar fitted and sprayed and all ready to go!

more details on the cressie kthx

Bought it as a finished project, built for daily duties and long cruises. Came with a trailer load of spares, literally.

When its washed up a bit I'll get some pics and maybe a mini-build/ fix it diary thread.

Currently waiting on the USA for cool-flex radiator hose couplers. (1.3/8" rubber joiners for the custom rad hoses)

So its not running.... missed very much too. The Holden Cruze/Ignis just doesnt do it for me :(

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
