So, This is currently on (my guess is) deck 9 of the Morning Miracle, on it's way to Port Melbourne... for me!

post-51760-0-98563100-1373715065_thumb.jpg

I'm not a workshop guy, so I need help here.

A few things....

1: I need a workshop in Melbourne that won't charge me the earth to maintain it, but will do a great job, especially the first checkup.. it's just a daily.

2: it has lowered springs... do they seem too low to you? will that hurt it over time?

3: THOSE WHEELS!!!!
Anyone in the market for some REAL Venerdi 19" Chrome 5's .. :P (currently fitted with 245/40x19's

I am looking into replacement wheels, not sure about fit etc though. 19x9.5 ... just want them to fit.. not really into the whole "stance" thing...

4: The Works Bell paddle mod.. it seems easy enough.. is it reliable etc? this is the first car I have ever risked going auto for!

5: maybe that's enough for now!

That's a sweet ride you've got there! I'd be careful going up steep driveways as it looks as low as mine.As for workshops.......f**k that,i wouldn't let any of those monkeys even peer through my windows let alone look under the bonnet.Get onto Scotty he is the man when it comes to these things and is always willing to help a brother out.Good luck on the wheels!

As mentioned by Gleeson, get in contact with "Scotty M35". Mechanics in Vic don't even know what these cars are, they're not technologically advanced or should we say bout 10 years behind the rest of the world.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
