Qld mod day

Hey guys,

I though that since I'm going to have my house all to my self on the 19th (Saturday) that I would have a mod day at my place. Thinking a 10am start with a BBQ for lunch or pizza and just chill and talk **** all day and work on anyone's car.

Ill be doing some work to my car this day with reguards to the looms and dash parts and maybe suspension but I have 95% of the tools here, for instance air compressor, rattle gun, dremel, sockets, spaners, electrical tools and so on.

So all u Qld fock come on over for a ho-down and some modding of said cars

Mat

Address is 54 chalfont st Salisbury 4107

Well il be in Sydney for work on the car, I'm planning on coming back by the Friday, but I have no idea if that will happen. If it doesn't happen, I won't have a car, but I might be able to get the astina to drive then. The only way I'm not comming is if I'm either driving back from Sydney, or I have just came back Friday night and am sleeping the trip off sat morning

Keen. Sam, get Phil to take you if he's coming from home.

@Phil, could you have a look around and find the brackets/bushings for my front sway bar too, please?

The brackets are the same as the stock sway bar and you will need new bushes as the stock ones were perished and cracked. You can get new bushes at Supercheap or from Fulcrum or wholesale suspension.
BTW do not attempt to install the front sway bar yourself. Its a complete bitch of a job and should be done when you swap your gearbox.

It only took me 6 months to swap mine. But if it's anything like a BG then pay someone to install it. Doing it under a car on jack stands is not fun or easy.

Oh, sweet. Will have to get the new bushes then. I thought they were different brackets cause the bar is much chunkier.

Yeah, I wasn't planning on doing it myself, just getting everything prepared... Still trying to find a damn speed sensor...

Hahaha yeah.. I don't want to end up doing that, I want it done quick and easy so will get someone else to do it methinks.
