Yours manual? I thought it was auto

Negative, my car is girly enough without being auto :P

Majority of my time on the road is traffic. Lol

Most is highway for me, so manual > auto

Also considering auto use more fuel and manuals still have cruise control so it's still an easy drive

I've still got the evo here anyway, incase I feel the urge..

Driving the merc is so relaxing though, and coming back to what you said about the evo not being comfy, I've realized what you mean.

I've forgotten what comfort is lol.

haha working on the astra is a bitch, but they dont actually handle that bad!

people track them too, usually the turbo ones of course

willwood brakes

^^^ would buy.

SRi turbo astras = sweet!

If your missus's astra is the same model as my inlaw's astra (the same body shape as above pic), then yep, gonna have to agree they're not the most friendly to work on :yes:

Haha yeah, they are pretty 'firm' to drive :P

^^ why do you hate everything? Lol

Astra turbos are f**king mental cars! They handle a lot better than some of the boats on here..

because i was cooped up in hot kitchens for 80 hours a week for 10 years.

FWD = GAY... true story

what was that about a FWD winning Vic Time attack by like 4 secs?

oh and wasnt it a FWD that got the fastest time at eastern creek at SAU nats?

Haha touche'

That Integra is nuts

FYI nats was at Wakefield

+1 for turbo Astras, they have a mad little engine. +1 for Opels in general.

And +1 for FWD. I love me a good maccas tray slide.

Nick I don't know anyone who does those parts...eBay USA is where I'd be looking.

    • 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.
