  1. It's even worse when the battery glues itself to the bonnet.....
  2. Somebody needs a hug. ;)
  3. I'm trying to put my 4'11" wife in a 2.2 tonne Touareg atm... :P
  4. Chassis rails as they disappear under the firewall. Often rust in the goose neck there. Particularly the left one.
  5. Stormrider ute used to do 82 in first, 124 in second and 72 in reverse before the rev cut. :P
  6. VW Touareg for the win. :| V6 TDi rocked my little world.
  7. I was also scarred by 6 months of 2.6 Astron ownership. It took me 16 years to own another Mitsubishi, but I must say the 3.2 DiD has been the goods. Now up for sale if anyone is interested. :jamie:
  8. *sigh* Work offers and cars I want to buy.
  9. Trade tools do a brand called Force, and for home use, you'd struggle to find a better value/ money/ application than these. I have a Kincrome wall mount for home, but if I had my time again, I'd by a force one.
  10. Photo courtesy of winton photographics.
  11. Dyno Dyno Dyno. Try Allstar tuning in Geebung (or they might be in Strathpine now...) They know Webers, and Richard knows what to do with them. You can be told sizings, but until it hits a dyno, it'll never be right.
  12. Just paid rego on my two trailers and one of the race cars. Ow.
  13. That's actually quite cool. ;) Although I can't get the shade of red I would like... :)
  14. Carb-Tech in Redcliffe/ Clontarf have always done mine. It should also be noted that you're not going to get the tuning right until you have it dyno'd.

  16. I use a long, thin diameter pin punch from the other side. You can usually get it past the shaft in the middle of the diff if you try hard enough.
  17. Sadly, no. There's a shaft in the way that prevents this. where have you snapped the axle? Mine have always, without exception, sheared at the spline. Therefore the diff has always come out of the carrier easily and I've been able to knock the remains of the axle out on the bench.
  18. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZV_Uw_UnNg From the days when men were men, and trees were nervous. No commentary, no music, just the sound of horsepower. BDA Escorts with Clarke and Waldegard, and a wild Celica with Hannu Mikola at the wheel. Best youtube vid I've seen in a while. FWIW, an asociate has a replica of the Escorts, and it puts down 235hp ATW at 9000 rpm, from an NA 2 litre. (Yes, his is 2 litre, he has a BDG in it.) It also sounds every bit as good as the video. :cool:
  19. I can't believe you guys are becoming respectable.
  20. Topics merged. One car = One thread

    I don't think there's a problem, Jon. I've said my piece, and bear no angst or animosity towards Ella at all. You should know me better than that. I don't hold a grudge. Lifes too short for that. If, per chance he should pass me again, and gives a honk and a wave, I shall cheerfully wave back.
  22. 18RG is an old technology boat anchor (and that from a man who plays with 2TG's....). They can be made to go well, but for the time and effort you may as well put something new in.
  23. Time to buy a tape measure.....

    A: I have every much right as you to be on the road. B: If I was any further to the left, I'd have been in the fence. It's not my fault the car in front of you didn't want to overtake. You seemed to be able to get past okay..... C: Yes, I know how to find you, I wanted to advise you that your attitude was irresponcible, and that it reflects badly upon the Corolla and modified car scene as a whole. Gee I held you up for all of 5 seconds, the world must be coming to an end. I'd have done the same thing on another forum if I'd seen a sticker on the car. D: I would classify abuse as words shouted in anger out a window at me. You qualify. Realistically, all I want to say is that people are in too much of a rush these days, that's how people get hurt. The road isn't necessarily all yours, play nicely with others. No threats, no agression, that's all I want the message to be. R
  25. Seriously, go and do some research here and on other sites, and get back to us. There's an infinite amount of info out there, ready for you to discover. Oh BTW, I know who you are. :y:
