still drives, but worried the diff is going to give out on me whilst driving.

 

 

i've been having that thought for about 9 months.

passengers complain about the excessive noise,

 

i've gotten used to it.

Can you post up a write up of how you did that cluster?

 

With the later model guages, the numbers and letters are raised, So you simply paint the entire guage the colour you want, and then use a small paint brush or something similar to go over the raised letters/numbers in the desired colour. Pretty simple really. I did my first set of these about 8 years ago, just used globes with blue coloured socks though as LED's weren't as readily available.

got the new diff to go in, unbolted the old one, just got the brake lines left to do in the morning =]

 

hopefully will have help to lift the old one out and lift the new one, also invested in some car stands and a trolley jack XD

 

drum covers arent on in pic, being given a coat of black to make them look less, old!

looking good girly!

 

but you should of painted the whole diff and sprayed the underbody too while the diff was/is out. Thats what i did and its amazing how much better/cleaner/neater it makes it look, definitely worth the minimum time/money it takes

the diff in there was painted. paint jsut came off, plus this is only temp as i am planing on gettin all rebuilt wen the car comes off the road for respray =]

ALL DONE XD

 

dead silent!!

Now all you need to do is fix the hole in the exhaust and she'll be like new. Maybe you could find out why it sits lower with the 30 diff in it :y:

luvin ur car bianca. makes me wish shops were open atm, cos now i wanna do some work on mine. I'm so jealous, hope my car turns out as nice as urs. :y:

hmm. how long in advance do you generally have to book in to an exhaust place, to get a new system put on? may have to make some calls!

 

EDIT: Ryan took her out for some twisty action and i couldnt really notice the extra body roll to much, i mean its there, but not extremely bad. and also longer gears FTW! no more stupid auto diff!

she is all booked in for saturday. he has some other jobs so said to drop it off at 9 and come back later to pick her up. :P

 

will be done for cruise. about time really. :hmm:

What kind of exhaust are you getting fitted? Gotta get a video of it afterwards :hmm:

 

The exhaust place near me that I / mates have used for a while now . . its just a walk in and pick it up later job. I don't think we have ever booked :P

yeah but i want to make sure its done before the cruise, so he said he will have it done by end of trade sat-dee!

so ive had a busy couple of days this weekend, thursday night i picked up a tacho to go in place of my clock like i had planned so i then installed it friday night after work, there was much grinding action to get it to fit, i basically ground out the entire hole where the clock face used to sit against and then ground a few mm of the dash facia also as i put the tacho through the front of the cluster instead of inside to leave clearance for the globe, very fidly job and also slightly difficult as the dremel is a pain in the backside at times!

 

also today i dropped my car off at the exhaust shop and picked it up 3 or so hours later and she is now looking and sounding FAR better than the pea shooting piece of crap!

 

also got one of them kits from supercheap for making an interior light LED, like a board with 12 LED things that is attached to a globe that you can put in your globe holder, just to get the power and earth ect, nifty idea, might get a photo laters XD

 

also sprayed some issue rust spots with kill rust then covered up the shit looking rust with some duct tape, ironically the tape is like pretty much exactly the same colour as the car and isn't that noticeable from afar. obviously still stands out like dogs balls but looks better than shitty looking rust!

 

EDIT: as you can see got the 30 diff in in that picture, it goes so well, better than any diff i have had in her in the past, this is #3!
