What did you do to your car today?

[Grrrrrrr!]

Put the battery back in, started it for the first time in 2 months and slapped a wof and reg on it. Might even use it sometime before the wof runs out again lol.

^Corolla got its WOF back in February... done 111km since then lol

Got the cylinder head back today, better start putting the car back together.

[Dell'Orto]

Had a quick look to see why this Corolla runs so badly. Quick shot of engine start finds a massive airleak on 1 & 2 Damn cobys...might try whip the manifolds off tomorrow and chuck a new gaset on there

Use a one piece 7K gasket, way way betterer than the two piece ones.

Might do, the TGP gasket set I got has the single piece steel one in it. Got a few ACL ones kicking around though

Shuffling cars around when I realised I've never had them all in a photo and there was a rainbow! ...WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

[Leon]

.WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

Too damn many cars?

[Bling]

I was going to say, not enough

Is that possible Mr Leon

What it means is some leprechaun has tagged all your cars number plates with black paint

Installed a wideband into the starlet yesterday and checked over my tune today, ive got quite a bit of work to do

[Kiwi-Corolla]

Took the sedan for a cert. Failed on the front RH ball joint and the rear wheel studs being slightly too short (6 turns instead of 6.5, ugh). Got a new ball joint on the way from Mark and am going for shank style wheel nuts rather than using longer studs (a much cheaper and easier alternative). Recheck will be next week when the cert plate gets put on.

..going for shank style wheel nuts rather than using longer studs (a much cheaper and easier alternative). Recheck will be next week when the cert plate gets put on.

Getting the wheels machined for shank nuts is cheaper than replacing the studs? Or are you changing wheels?

No just using shank nuts on my current wheels. You can buy thin ones that fit aftermarket wheels without having to machine them.

I would check if the certifier will accept those, safer just to get longer studs.

He was the one who suggested them

Finished getting MX5 ready to sell.

Time to take photos and advertise.

Sigh, trademe fees, and muppets to deal with.

[Bling]

You can always get less money for it and have it sit for months if trademe fees are too high Best money spent IMO, i've had no luck trying to sell privately in a short time period.

Those wheel nuts look like they'd have a weak spot where they are thin and where they clamp to the wheel. Can't be bugger all material in that stepped area.

Booked an alignment tomorrow for one of the dailies.
