chilly beer..from the u.s. .... be carefull with this one! it had my mouth looking for the nearest tap asahi from japan... not too bad but nothing to write home about grolsh from germany... nice but comes in huge bottles, 2 or 3 and your done elephant beer from Thailand? stronguest beer I have ever had ... its like 2.3 standard drinks for each 330ml bottle and will f*ck you up! and many others... cant remember most though LOL

ill give you a little taste of what to look foward to when you rip her appart oh the joy!!

had a bit of a mishap with the ute and bent the rear passenger side axle... where or who do I see about getting this fixed?

take it from some one who bought a T56 (6speed Manual) off a ba xr8 that it doesnt fit!.. the xr8 box is longer as well as the bellhousing being different.. and then theres the cog ratios they are different too.

also the xr8s box is longer to acommodate for the shorter motor as well.. from memory its about 80-100mm.. so it wont fit even if you change the bellhousing

so what was the fix? damn its like watching a really good movie and then theres no ending

title says it all

2.5 hrs?!?!?! are you kidding?? I have done my exhaust just today after replacing my motor and it took no longer than 30 mins

just do it yourself its not that hard. it will take about 30mins as long as you have a decent car jack and stands

lol just kidding, in that top photo the ute was loadedthis is what the lower job looks like with 19s

no problems with resetting leafs in the ute.. the 4x4 gang have been doing it for years to raise their fourbies, your even supposed to reset leafs when the suspension sags. I got my ute done for $700 front and rear

wooooot the new engine is in!!!!!! not yet operational bit um not worried, its only a matter of time (and $$$$) before shes up and running again.

nah the block is getting scrapped. as is everything in the bottom end.. I got a new block with forged pistons and billet rods to go in. the complete head might go up for sale as it is undamaged

some pics of what was inside the engine schrapnel anyone? I think it exploded in there cos there isnt much left of the rod/piston.. just a sh*t load of ittybitty pieces

hahaha on the shackle. I swear I had 2 but the other one had gone walkabouts. so I had to improvise and yep full forged for this baby. if this is a common occurence is there a fix? I was thinking of repairing thw wiring heatshrinking it and adding some heatproof tape.
