What Did You Do On Your Car Today+ - V2.0

TE37s

stockmy00

They look like the real deal

autech_s15

Nice work. They look good on your car

DAL32

Yeah I love the look. The 30 offset wasn't enough though (as in would not clear brakes)

autech_s15

european offset is so backwards.

DAL32

Stock wheel on the Alfa is +30 but basically the wheel looks like a +50 offset in design and has a "spacer" built into the mounting face of the wheel, about 12mm worth compared to any normal wheel.

I don't feel too bad, Ferrari also do this

And people wonder why hardly anybody wants to buy from/deal with local automotive businesses anymore. Have just been into a general mechanics, a steering/brake shop and a bearing 'specialist' to have the supporting bearing swapped between the factory and quick-rack input shaft on my steering rack only to be told it was impossible/unable to be done without destroying the old shaft and bearing/etc. I know this is complete bullshit. Stopped in at Johnson Transmissions @ Brendale for a final opinion before giving up - the two old blokes there had it swapped in a minute and didn't charge me for it. Guess who's getting my business in the future.


Yay, rack is finally done.



Quaife QSR/new boots/tie rods/rod ends/etc

Catapult

Re-tuned the auto, fitted lowered suspension springs and struts in the rear, new setup in the front also, full service, fitted a sub, happy boy!

Geoff

Bought myself an 08 GLX triton 2 weeks ago and the first thing i did was fit up a UHF radio - a Uniden UHN7760NB remote head jobbie. Mounted the unit up under the dash hidden away.





Then came the 265/75R16 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 4 rib tyres on 16x8 sunnies (cruiser offset). Those motherfunkers were hanging out like wizard sleeves in a Valley alleyway at 2am.





Drove from the tyre shop in Osborne Park like that back to my house in Greenmount LOL. Via bunnings for some flares. Some might call it garden edging and well, they'd be 100% right but god damn the car looks good now:





Going for its first wheel tomorrow, up to Lancelin for the day and then an easy run through the Powerlines on Sunday.

Rileys

That looks the tits Geoff

I was asked to switch projects at work and they threw in a company car to sweeten the deal. Downside is, it's a Proton Jumpbuck ute with over 160k on the clock. So I went to fill it up yesterday for the first time and just grabbed the cheapest unleaded (91Ron) pump when I noticed it has a sticker inside the fuel cap flap saying to use 95Ron minimum It was pinging before, let's see how it goes now.

VersionR

I agree, got ENZED to make my turbo oil feed, charged me $140 which i thought was a little excessive but oh well. Recently wanted it cut and another T piece fitted for an oil pressure gauge, simple job, I ring Pirtek first and ask them if they can do it and how much. "Dunno, you'll have to bring it in so we can see if we can do it or not". "Pirtek has been around for 30 years and you're telling me you dont know if you can cut a teflon braided oil line and fit a simple T piece in it?" Silence. funk off useless merchant bitch

ShanO`

Gave the daily Falcon a service and fitted some coilovers.



Need to Drop the front another 10-15mm and raise the rear a little so it sits even. Also need to fit a set of shorter bumpstops which should be here by the end of the week.

Geoff

Drove it

B Unit

105k service on my Transit van, so it's running really nice. Time to clean it and sell it.

S2krazie

Can I have my wing back since my NSX-R wing never arrived. LOL

B Unit

.Woody.

Put it on a hoist at work, dropped lower strut braces, subframe and exhaust center section out,. Removed the swaybar, then put everything else back on. So happy I have no more squeaks and squeals!! Now to either leave it off or sort out a custom bar mounted externally.

Also found that my transmission fluid was waaaaay overfilled by someone... let all the excess drain out haha.

VersionR

Wiring in an Apexi SAFC II now, took me funking ages just to find the ever elusive ecu. When I'm done I will put in my 460cc injectors

Rileys

Some new speakers for dads cressy in the rear. The original ones had almost perished

the_random_hero

Flashtune for the daily. Ohai 320NM@1900rpm

wolfman101

Center stack out, new one in.
Still have to put in the new door speakers to go with the amp.

VersionR

Ditched engine fan in favour of twin thermos

wolfman101

So you can keep two cups of coffee warm simultaneously?

VersionR

Thats correct, and its super effective too!

the_random_hero

Not my car, but was moulded off my parts. Slight bit of tweaking and they'll be ready to rumble.

VersionR

What is it?

Fitted 6 speakers, amp, sub and head unit, finally have something other than triple M to listen to. Gave it a wash and vac too

Luke

Got some VY SS S2 wagon tail lights the other day.

Driver's side done:

ps: Yes, I know my car is filthy...it's well overdue for a good wash and some TLC...

the_random_hero

Carbon fibre rear visor.

Mr.B

Washed and cleaned then scratched head as to where I can put the oil catch can.

autech_s15

Painted my cam cover for my new engine

VersionR

How is the engine build coming along autech? Who's doing it?

autech_s15

I bought a stock SR20DET with about 90 thou on it from Dave @ Japanese Parts and Performance for the time being. I'm in the process of putting that engine in and getting the car running/regoed etc.

Once that is out of the way, I'm stripping the blown engine down myself and rebuilding it.

Forged bottom end (Rods/pistons)
Block bored/honed/decked
Head decked
New valves/springs/retainers/cams/head studs etc
3071r

Will be a pretty decent build Aiming for 400hp

Sharpy

Serviced it, changed the scummy plugs, was overfuelling like a bitch, missing, backfiring



Was driving good again after! YAY! still needs a touch up tune. It's still a tad rich (this is after changing plugs, idling for about a minute



Washed the POS

VersionR

What about tuning, you know anyone good, nissan guru's etc up your way? I'm moving from Sydney to GC soon and wanna get a decent tuner when I rebuild my KA, not many people seem to know the go with them down here
