I always like it when a mechanic notices that you've got an interest in cars and actually talks about what and why he changed something for... like shows you the inside of the screwed water pump, or the timing belt cracks etc :P

Also makes payment a lot nicer, knowing that work was actually completed... and WHY it took xxx hours

This.

I shall take a photo of my old timing belt lol it was cracked as fuark! Apparantly influenced leaks in cam seals so had that all fixed. *phew* Coil packs didn't need changing, already had spitfires, didn't even know! Changed HKS spark plugs to NGK's, hks one's were pretty worn tho. But yeah car just feels amazeballs, due for a reefton run. :D

Reefton Spur, I assume? Have been meaning to go for a ride/drive down that way, but haven't been able to yet. Actually haven't driven / ridden besides daily duties in a long time, lols. Give me a yell next time if you're going up :P

f**ks sake man....

related: I got done for that one about 10-12 years ago at like 4 am sat (was driving modded e30)

cop asked why I ran a red light, told him it was amber when I went through and it was safer to go through as there was no way I could have stopped (truth)

he gave me the fine and points anyway. $200 back then

Then he started to hassle me about what I was doing driving around at 4am in the docklands ( this is back when it was an industrial area)

Told him I was a DJ and off to a $200 per hour gig... dude lost it, I just got in my car and drove off... lulz were had

Dont think it would go that smoothly in 2013 though :no:

yeah we all know they're a bunch of wankers one day they're going to go too far with the wrong person and someones going to get shot or killed over modded car related issues.. my brother is PISSED atm

I kinda want something bad to happen to a stupid hwy patrol cop, they might re-think some of the stupid fines/defects then? I duno.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
