EXGMH304

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between superpro and nolathane bushes?

I know how ya feel man.. its just heartbraking sometimes. Im trying to save my house deposit but it keeps getting eaten by the car! So it turns out that my auto, rebuilt 6 monthst ago, was full of water. They tell me the cooler in the radiator cracked, & showed me the pink thick shake in the coolant reservior.. I had them flush everything out, coz I'm not spending another $2.5k on the auto... instead I'll start saving for a t56 conversion. As well as the kaaz diff centre, front suspension, and then the engine. She will be a brand new car by the end of 2011 and ill get another 100,00km out of it hopefully!!

thanks guys, it's going to the diff shop today.. fingers crossed that it's not the diff but if it is I'll look at a kaaz, can get a kaaz centre for $1295 plus tax & fitting!!

Cheers Senna that's what Pedders said when they gave it back.. its going to the transmission/diff guy tomorrow so ill know a bit more on tuesday. Hopefully im not up for a new diff... but if I am, what can ya tell me about the kaaz units?? a coupla of mates have em in 383 stroker commodores & rave about them, but I drive the car to work everyday?? Thanks again bud! Craig

Hey guys, I just had pedders replace my diff mount bush and control arm bushes & I think they did some other bushes too... also had sports ryder shocks fitted. I was told the knock/clunk from the rear on gear changes was caused by a shagged diff mount bush, so I spent $1650 having it all replaced & the clunk is still there!! Any ideas as to what it could be?? I had a rubber diff mount bush fitted on pedders' reccomendation as I didnt want added NVH, all other bushes are urethane. Any help would be great on this one as I cant really afford the $900 labor to have it all pulled back out for diagnosis!! Thanks in advance, Craig

What's up???

Is this the Shell Servo on the Todd Rd. exit of the Westgate?? I'll come along for this one, 'bout time I came out & met some of ya!!

Who will be running/organising the event??? I was at the LS1 Nats last month and it was a joke... If HPR Management & Staff are planning the timetable then you will all just be wasting your money!! A friend of mine paid to race at the LS1 event and got 3 passes, we saw some test & tune, and a few rounds of qualifying and that was it, no prize money or trophies were handed out, and it was one big let down... especialy being a Ford fan as as the only XR6 Turbo that raced had issues and didnt even get off the line 1st pass, I missed its 2nd pass but it was back on the trailer after that!?! If it;s being organised by forum members then I'll be there, but only spectating... don't think there's much point racing with a stocky!!!

bfturb & arm79, where do you guys work?? I was pulled up on the corner of Pipe & Hume Rds in the work car (white EL) the other morning when a Force6 went scooting past, you maybe arm79?? Where do you guys get your cars serviced and stuff?? I used to drop mine at HP-F when I was working in Dandenong, got no idea where to take it now, there are so many options I don't know where to start!!

Might have settled on Melton, just waiting to hear back from the bank, if I can buy a place it'll be melton, if not I'll keep looking for a cheap rental! Not working at any tyre joint, I'm driving a truck for Southern States Cold Storage & Distribution, so I get to hang out at Beaurepairs a bit though, they're on Fitzgerald Rd. So Dags, won't quite be out in the Marsh, but not far from it!! Who's comin to my house warming if it happens??? P.S Who drives the ute with the EVLFRD rego plates??? We work in the same street!!

Spotted bionic ute, EVLFRD, parked on the side of Pipe Rd, Laverton Nth, a coupla times lately... I know it's someone here but cant remember the user name???

I've just started a new job in Laverton Nth, or Derrimut I think they call it now, so looking to move out that way. Anyone got any recomendations?? I want something small and cheap, so I've been looking at Sunshine, Altona, Brooklyn and places like that, but the guys at work tell me to stay away? I'm sure there are good and bad areas just like out here, but beggers can't be choosers!! Would be nice to meet a few of ya's too, cos I'm gonna be a fair way away from my friends and family!

Just spotted XRSCAR turning into the carpark at Knox off Burwood Hwy, car looks nuts, soo clean!! P.S. Cheers to whoever fixed my signature!!

Hey guys, Well nothin will be happenin anytime soon. I've been working like mad for 18 months now to save and repay some debts, and thought I would be well on my way. After reading all your advice, I decided to see how much money I had to spend on the car so I could make a start, and it turns out I have none. Went through the books the other weekend and I seem to have gotten nowhere, or at least, not very far. So I start a new job this week, and will look at moving closer to work if it all works out, so I'll be earning more and spending less. But I still have to wait another year before plans get off the ground :( So I have one more question; Would it be worth getting the car tuned without all the mods?? I'm thinking I might be able to get a little bit more power out of it, and maybe enjoy it a little while I'm saving. Will I save a bit of fuel by doing this? Can't realy justify it if I won't... Thanks again for all the help and advice, and sorry for waisting all your time. Cheers, Craig.

I see BEILKIN (spelling??) in FTG alot too, but not for a coupla months? I need custom plates so people will recognise me... Not sure about EXGMH on my XR6 but?!!! Also theres a Phantom XR with Phoon rear wing, & an acid rush with rego# EATV8S or something like that that have been getting around Amberley Cres, between HP-F and Kewish alot lately (I work in the same street) anyone here??
