Changed fuel filter. Was pretty manky. Glad I changed it. But I didnt see any of that black pitting that some people talk about when they run e85. And Ive been on it for 3 years now.

Cleaning out garage after car has been hibernating.

Ive bled the shit out of the brakes yesterday. Brake pedal feels abit soft. Do have new pads. While the car was standing the reservoir was empty, soooo I presume the ABS unit was also drained. Am I meant to be doing something specific to get the air out of the ABS? There seems to be zero air in the lines.

Ill go for a proper drive, bed brakes in and see how it goes.

ok,

brakes are now all good. have feeling no spongy pedal and no squeals.

Had some trouble bedding them in as they just started squealing for a while. So I did decided to go harder on the stopping, few of those cleared it right up haha. QFM HPX are pretty good for a street pad Id say. Doesnt look like they throw much dust which is always a bonus.

My racepace front pipe was no where near to fitting on the car. But after countless alterations, it now is now the highest sitting 3"-3.5" front pipe I have seen to date, only sits just lower of the x member. Sounds pretty grumpy now.

If anyone wants a great exhaust shop around the central coast region, I highly recommend TM Performance exhaust in Erina. David is an absolute legend.

Car is booked in for a touch up tune so I will be sure to update then.

Time to try some of this stuff. It gets a good rap from the guys over on the detail forums. Meant to last a few months aswell.

It's brilliant stuff; one of my detailer mates put me on to it.

So good on dark coloured cars.

Update on collinite.

I love it! Best wax/sealant I have ever used. This is only based on ease of application and the fact that I experience zero smudge.

Out of all waxes I have used, none have removed as easy as this one.

Stay tuned for longevity test. Let's see how long it will bead.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
