We are hopefully going to arganise a group of club members to head to a downshift one day and try to recruit some more members who don't seem like di*k heads.

keen for this as i still have not been to one.

Finally got my kit painted and fitted over the last week, not the flushest of fits but i guess thats what you get with EBay Kits. Also one of current interior [golf shoes are apart of the "look'

]. Needs some new seats

Mechanic, Was going to send it to Dan to do as he had the right price and I dig his work.

Now that Dan isn't around I am not sure where I want to go with it.

Yes the ERD thing is unfortunate, but you can do it yourself. Just hog the garage for a few days, and doit! Mine took the better part of 2 days. but i did take my time and did lots of interneting and reading beforehand.

just need a few choice tools :)

I am always stuck at work at the moment so I couldn't spare 2 days even if I wanted to.

I need to find a garage that has a lot of experience doing the work and has a reputation for quality work at a fair price.

After much debate, I will be putting more power into the car, It will get it's 100K service a full service and some tuning done, I will then look at what options I wish to use: IE different turbo, head gasket upgrade, Water Meth, Haltech.

good choice!!

where you taking it? and when are you coming out for a drive?

I am taking it over to All Star tuning and performance in Brendale, I had a good chat with Richard and a few club members and they have highly recommended them.

I am going for a 100k service, a full vehicle check and regular service and a retune at this point, The price that I have been quoted is excellent (we get club discount)

I don't know when I will be out for a drive as I still have it up for sale but I am not actively trying to sell it, I am considering getting a 4x4 as owning a car like ours is proving to be a hassle with all the young dickheads buying them now and doing skids / racing in them.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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.
