nah Phil - i really love my GTR wing - just seems to be of very poor quality thats all! then again i was doing a 130km when it decided to dettach!

how to tell if they need skimming ...... only changing rear for now - i aint made of money at the moment!

agh i hate driving wit my mum "Lauren we are doing 110km in a 70 zone .... u realise that? .... thats 40km over"

"thank u mum glad u can solve mathematical problems"

"*insert lecture about losing license here*"

*repeat process when entering new speedzone*

AGHHHHHH

yeah my mum suffers from car sickness and is a natural born whinger! *must have some english blood in her* :(:)

but u talk to mum and she exaggerates everything!! she sounds like she drags every car and is a total rev head ....... but in reality she drives like a pussie!

Paul yeah i know but apparently i have 80% front brakes left and no back brakes ...... so considering those odds im replacing the back first :(

ive got it printed out on my last service report - front 80% rear 30% hmmmm i think they would be down 10% since then. If i take them to a brake blace to have them skimmed and ask them about the fronts ...... of coarse they are going to tell me to change them for some extra $$$ :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
