My misses is working till 8-9pm, she might come depending on the time..

ok so i plan on taking my front bar off this weekend, it's not sitting completely right (ill show you guys tonight) as far as i can see it's just plugged in etc, mind giving me a few tips? ill be going threw the DIY section once i polish the car.

it's not so much not having anyone to talk to, it's a few things, she wont be home till like 7:15 7:30 as she goes to the gym, and when she gets home, because i can't drive, she wont go out anywhere, she isn't the biggest person for social events

i know about HICAS, i was wondering if i should remove it or not, thats all, i don't plan on doing any sort of drifting, but would like to do mountain runs, so would it be adviced to remove it or not?

nah leave it in man, its a "save your ass if you play to hard" type of rear steer. V

ery handy for mountain runs......and if your car steps out and catches you off guard.

drifters in particular remove it cause it screw with how the car turns in. its not a nescessary aid. but if it aint broke, dont fix it :)

*not sure how this goes with more power and after market ECU's etc

Yeah I wouldn't be disabling it unless you have a lock bar on it what if it isn't centred when you disable it?

Still sick and can't drive my baby hoping to be better before sunday.

I removed the hicas on mine, because it gets a little hairy when she wants to step out at 5000-6000 at 18/20psi. You can still run the hicas with an aftermarket ecu as it picks the speed signal from the dash. I promise guys I'll get out 1 night to meet and greet. When I get home most nights early I could not be f**ked heading out again. Lazy I know, but I will get out soon.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
