  1. Well It fits They share components Because they can uhm - its fun
  2. Drove her again... yae the clutch works perfectly and the temp readings are down to low 80\'s...
  3. Depending on car, as it is Subaru I\'ll go with them 215/45r17, 225/45r17 - 36Psi 205/40r17 - 34PSi 215/45r18 - 36Psi
  4. So this car strikes again Clutch master cylinder is fooked. They ordered 2 different units - both are wrong (using part numbers from Subaru...) Cost to rebuild/refurb the POS is between $165 & $228 +GST, new one $248 +GST... Refurb is 2 days away, new one here tomorrow Guess its a new then...
  5. I believe he is referring to the same tyre size i.e. 215/45r17 with worn tread within 5% of the other tyre also a 215/45r17...
  6. Whats even worse is the goo gets into the actual damage/hole, it then gets to the belts etc and prevents the cement from forming a barrier to moisture...
  7. The repair goo forms a layer that is not-removable on the inside of the tyre, you cannot remove it hence the tyre cannot be patched (you need a clean clear surface to use the cement and patch on... Also, the goo is harmful to aquatic life and hence has to be disposed of as a dangerous chemical - most tyre shops do not have the facilities/training to do so (no Bridgestone/TTSL/Beaurepairs store does). I know this for a fact...
  8. Well where do i start... Drove car yesterday and pulled up at her work, give her keys and say, the radiator is leaking, dont give it jandal... On way home she give it the jandal... So we rescue her on side of motorway (thanks tot he guys who towed her to Ohoka Rd overpass... Drop at Autotech Rangiora, new header tank, noice and the clutch master cylinder is got poos seals causing it not to work nice... f**king great... vapour lock Oh well at least it has been a loyal old beast not breaking down
  9. Yes Basically Subaru states that ALL 4 needs to be of the same tread depth/pattern and manufacturer. Subaru goes further to state that all 4 should be replaced at the same time Most major tyre companies, NZTA, MTA, and car manufacturers specify that if 2 tyres have to be replaced, and they happen to be the front pair, then the new pair should be rotated tot he rear as the car will be more stable under driving/braking/etc. Only a select few state otherwise - i.e. Holden Captiva is only car that specifically states the new tyres must go to the front due tot he cars drivetrain (i.e. they state it will break if you do it the other way) Most manufacturers specify as above as well, some minor differences too So if you must leave it on, move it to the passenger rear location, alternatively splash out and buy at least another 1 to match the full size spare, or get ready for a new gearbox Also while on topic of tyres:
  10. Guy next door to my workplace uses a heat gun on a low setting and just peels it off...
  11. Supeglue Give the part of the windscreen a good huck out... Or come visit at home tomorrow & I\'ll spot you some cleaner that\'ll work
  12. That there is pink sticker & WOF fail. Stretched far too wide for the size of tyre
  13. Mine\'s silver and has not and never will have a Tony\'s Tyre\'s sticker...Also beeeeeg Clubsub banner along the back
  14. Adjusted the clutch travel/engagement point. Finally got off my arse and fixed the driver\'s door card rubber trim - 5 years and finally fixed it. Washing the poor thing.
  15. Midget, farkme, an asian female midget would have trouble doing that! And yes just completed it... Thanks for the info.
  16. Depending on model & year of car and new stereo, ripco/supercr@p/et al have factory harness adaptors that will let you keep the steering wheel functions
  17. Jaycar or try someone with some spare MDF, doesn\'t have to perfect round etc...
  18. Spray WD40 into the internal working parts of it, this may help long term or short term... 5 years and counting at my end so far...
  19. Hi Team How do i adjust the hydraulic clutch on my BH5 GTB? The bloody thing is out, had the clutch replaced and done a few months ago, and it required adjustment relatively quickly afterwards (less than 50Km after work done) and now done about 3000Km and it is now a pain in the arse as the travel is still all the way there but it engages/disengages in the fist 20mm...
  20. Same Mrs RS did it as well, wheel became incredibly hot, I vote sticking caliper
  21. Yep das me with her ladyship the 2 year old...
