Probably installing this weekend...been weighing up whether to attempt it myself or pay someone else to. I like DIY and this looks pretty straight forward, but shit ALWAYS goings wrong at some point and takes 10 times longer than it should. I'm guessing the broken manifold studs are going to be the catalyst this time around.

^^ LOL!

Andrew knows from experience.

Those injectors were the last straw for me ever working on the car again. Omg in and out like 5 times ... and in the end just bought those new 800cc sards which are going in, in the next couple of weeks.

lol I ran into Shan at Nandos camberwell - I wasnt on wasteland was on 9gag FYI :P

Yea dezz my jacket is black alpinestar with white stripes like over the shoulder bit, black helmet with dragon tattoo looking design on it with green eyes, got a black visor for it and my black bike with CF exhaust :D

Black ftw :D

I just have 3rd party on the bike because i'm riding it illegally anyway lol (bike cost me 7k) 3rd party was around 150 with aami.

Oh and my new car is black :D

I know yeah, you just raging everytime LOL!

But it's all good now!

Only reason I like doing it myself is that I always get it done properly and carefully. Looks pretty straight forward going by this guide, what do we think:

Post up some photos of your gear

Helmet was around 500, jacket around 500, pants around 250, gloves around 100, boots around 250-300

cant remember exactly but pretty close to those prices, got a little bit off due to buying all from peter stevens at once

haha f**k thats expenisve, my mate came out with us one night, just pants and a t shirt, doing wheelies all night long on his R1, too ballsy

you at least need helmet jacket and gloves imo which will set you back over 1k for some decent gear.

I asked the guy how much do i need to spend on a helmet he replied "how much is your head worth?"

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
