Yeh nothing like the old $500 to buy $500 to install feeling. Its generally a 1/1 ratio. Thats y u should try to do most of the work yourself like services and all that small stuff. Plus if u want something done its good to rip the part off and take it in for them to work on as opposed to making them pull it out.

i think the work wouldve been alright if i owned a little hyundai but because i worked for the general car industry not the import a lot of them didnt realise what kind of work was involved or wha thtey were looking at in regards to the ZX.

I would like to be able to do stuff like that but as my car came with a warranty I need to get authorised mechanics to carry out 6 monthly services... the next one will be the big 100,000k's service to.... not looking forward to that one ....

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
