Had a fiddle with tyre pressures today and managed to get pulled over by the police, The police officer was cool and had a little look over the car and did not say anything besides "it looks well looked after".

You have to be happy with that

ACT police don't seem like a bad bunch

Agreed. Far less painful than in some other states, unless your a dickhead then you generally get equal and warranted treatment

Exactly right!

I have driven past them, had the behind me and been breath tested and never had an issue. It doesn't seem like they have the same import attitude that other states do

Totally agree with that one. I've been pulled over plenty of times. Even had my car checked over by a couple guys in suits with the coppers a couple of months ago dropping a mate home at about 2am. No issues whatsoever :)

Dickson make up for what the cops don't do though.

Just now I've booked the Stag in for a roadworthy inspection at Dickson for Monday afternoon.

(was going to go with Ultimate Tunes but the car has the Purple import sticker, lame)

*fingers crossed*

Be careful with car cover. If the car is even a little dirty, it will scratch and wind blowing the cover may also scratch.

Just in case... Happy Birthday for Thursdee!

Finally a teenager. :D

Haha you nob head.

Yeah - might take it for a full detail somewhere as I don't trust myself to get every spot. Ease of mind as well.

they will just take a cut compound to the car. Invest in a good wax and keep the wax up.

SkyWagon Lukey Extractors on! :banana: Thanks to Roadway Exhaust.

All new Studs. (Five out of Twelve were broken)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
