spotted ya again brad :) thursday morning. i was actually in my liner this time...not a beetle or on foot

Thought that was you. Waved but was a little late lol. Were you in the beetle the other morning, think friday? (All days all the same at the moment lol)

just wondering were would be a good place to get my 25 rebuilt with forged internals for say up to around 600 HP, i have asked this question before but didn't really get to much of an answer, also, what kind of price range would i be looking at?

Peter can do them at RPM. What type of coilovers do you have man? With pete's racing history and street knowledge I'm sure he'll get it sorted dude.

does anyone go to harry's anymore?

Not really only for lunch every now and again, Too many wankers that attract police attention.

A few of the boys were at my place looking at stereo gear and such.

Grats on coilovers

+1 for peter at RPM

same as what clint got in his 34. some BC V1's the nice soft girly street ones :P

read up on it today.....they seem very easy to fit. three bolts per corner and a trolley jack.

RPM is only round the corner from me. so getting there for the alignment wont be too hard at all. only issue is i need it done this week as i want them in and sorted for happy laps. i'll def be having a late night tomorrow to install them. and hope pete has some time for me this week, will cal him tomorrow.

    • 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.
