Ordered some Prado 150 calipers, rotors and pads for the Hilux. Turns out they're a straight swap, just have to drill the caliper mounting holes from 12mm to 14mm. Pads are a heap bigger and it'll go from a 319mm rotor to 338mm. Cheapest big brake kit ever, under 1k haha

As much as people sh*t on them, subies make for awesome first cars! My first car was a Subaru Impreza. Learnt a lot from that rig. I miss it every now and again. The awd system is extremely forgiving which is great for inexperienced drivers 😊 easy to work on, fun to drive. Aftermarket parts are extremely popular! What more could you want really. Only downside I had from it was the expensive mechanics bill when the timing belt needed replacing. Other than that it was sound 👌

yes, cut the oil filter open.

Heh I got through the 5x5 of squats so the rest is easy from here

So I've been digging into the whole garret bankruptcy situation this morning to find out more about this asbestos situation. Turns out Honeywell own Bendix brakes and the asbestos is from the brakes made back in the day that used asbestos. "Garrett sought bankruptcy protection Sunday with a plan to sell itself to private equity firm KPS for $2.1 billion. The reimbursements Garrett owes to Honeywell relate to asbestos claims stemming from Honeywell’s old Bendix brake business." - Source: Yahoo Finance Article found here.

This 100% our 2007 would throw an oil light on and off very so often and the oil was always fine, no leaks etc. Got our local mechanic to look at it and after some research came across the issue mainly on turbo Falcons where the small inline filter gets clogged and stops oil flow to the turbo and it goes 😲 Luckily the Terra T seems to be routed differently as it sets off the warning light whereas from reading about the Falcon issues the 1st you know is when your turbo dies 😰

I’d hold the phone but a Genuine Garrett G42 1450 1.28 is over $5500rrp So something to be mindful about regarding price vs quality vs longevity Aeroflow have come out swinging and so far so good, potential for another company to be the parent and delivering the same over at a lesser cost is interesting and welcomed but none of them have the time / kms on them yet to know Fingers and toes hey as it’s really a buyers market !

Sad day this week when I said goodbye to the F6 after 7 long years. Thanks to everyone for there input and help over the years. Special thanks to Wiggum if he's still on here and Jet. Picked up the new ute yesterday. Loving it so far

Good to know a couple years holding off learning and seeing other cars and working for someone who's built monster barras has taught me nothing then mr negative. Cheers.

Pretty much. For some reason I woke up with a sore knee and it's still sore after warming up. Farken mother farker.
