THE BEAST IS ON THE ROAD




been sweet to be able to drive it around finally, loving the diff, and has almost twice the go as my old blue thing, which is weird as its the same motor.

only trouble ive had so far is an exhaust leak, HID wires came loose, trouble trying to work out the cruise control and the water pump pully bolts came out and threw a belt

also does anyone know where this goes

Long time No Post!

in my absence from the site i got my hands on some stuff

Fully Adjustable coilovers
some LED spotties
a set of Speedy 17' wheels and new tyres
a set of BG SP seats cuz BA ones are horrible
shortshifter [not installed yet]
new alarm [not installed yet]
Shifter bushes [to go on short shifter]

along with goodies comes with a list of problems that i didnt get a chance to take care of before i had it rego'd

engine mounts
bushes
tappet cover leaks [i think cover is warped]
heater hose leak
wheel allignment
and for some reason when i go over a bump the steering wheel moves but the wheels dont, then it goes back to centre if i turn hard
