Update, we should have it back next week, there is still a lot of work to do, all the front end wiring needs to be redone as it was ripped out, wheel alignment, re buff the whole car, apply window tinting, re gas the aircon system.

I don't want to be that guy, but, I was taught that you're not supposed to buff a car for at least 3 months (normally 6) because the paint has to de-gass.

He’s the expert I trust his judgement, also my brother is a painter and said they do it all the time at the shop so it can’t be that bad for it

It depends on how the car is baked, there are baking techniques which allow the gasses to escape faster.

Bloody hell its Hanky, between the Doggo
And the Misso I thought we’d lost ya!

Happy Friday bloke, any plans for the weekend?

 

I heard there was a football match on, might check that out.

What about you?

I'm considering buying a 4WD which might impress you Martin. Trev might also be impressed because it will most likely be a dirty DIESEL.

I sure do! Hopefully in the new year I can tag along on a 4wd trip with you.

Some birds are taking on some cats in Melbourne apparently.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
