Parked in the uni carpark in June, some kid back out and dented and scratched the front passenger fender and front bar, and scratched the rim. Luckily he was a good kid, left a note saying to go see

I once reversed into a bollard that was ever-so-slightly out of vision (not to mention that I was tired and just wanted to get home out of the heat), and when I got the scratch in the bumper repaired

That's the exact reason why all trucks (in Australia) are legally required to have a "load step" as the rearmost point of trailer or load area. It isn't required in the US and causes hundreds of deat

Got a mate of a mate of a mate to respray my front bumper a while back, took it off for him, paid upfront only for a 8 day turn around which resulted in orange peel finish and some bugs in the clear, which might I add was still soft when I drove an hour to pick it up... Lesson learnt

I noticed the other day that my old man, who's been using my car as a bit of a workhorse because it's bigger than his own car, has managed to chip and/or scratch the glass on TWO of my Defi gauges, and also scratched the top of my head unit on the frame above the display.

When I confronted him on it, he simply dismissed with an "It's alright..." and I said, "Umm, no it's NOT. If I did that to your car you'd have the shits. These are $400 gauges, you know I spent a big chunk of money on these." I slightly exaggerated the cost to try and make an impact, but I may as well not have bothered. :(

I'll have to get photos.

Just dropped my Stagea to get a RWC and a few marks on the panels touched up, thumbs up for panel shops that do RWC's. Hopefully comes through with not a lot of issues

Another horizontal dent with accompanying scratches has turned up on the left rear of my Stage, suspiciously at the same height as the garden edging beside the driveway. Oh well, resale value has been ruined by family over the past couple of years, I'll have to keep it and endow it with a bazillion killerwasps.

Dude that's sucks, hope you can rectify the damage done or at least make it look better in some way.

Nothing stays new/pristine for long thou, believe me I've tried. :/

Regards Jase. :wave:

Firstly the idiot is me.

Tried to install a mini hd media player via the aux port in the tv tuner.

Spent hours soldering plugs and power supply.

Managed to get good connections but the media player just didn't display with the screen.

Tried every resolution option but unsuccessful.

No sound either, just a fuzzy scrolling faint image.

So two weekends later, cut it all out, put everything back and still stuck with stock head unit playing cd's. :angry:

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
