  1. Dont buy tardme for helmets. Could be 2nd hand, could be dropped onto concrete. Go to a motorbike/car shop and buy new. Not expensive.
  2. I got 2nd hand rebuilt bilsteins about 5+ years ago, and have hammered them everytime since. They still going very well. Just had them greased.
  3. Thanks, I was going to degreaser it then water blast it. Will soak with detergent then water blaster it. That should fix it I\'ll be surprised if you can get the smell out. Might need a trip to pick-a-part. I have a beanie that still smells after 3 years and a lot of washing. It\'s faded over time, but it\'s still there. I\'m left wondering how and why you stuck your head in diff oil ???

  5. I spilt smelly diff oil in the boot and the carpet is oily and stinks bad. Does anyone have suggestions how to get the oil out? At present the carpet is clipped to the garage wall and draining oil out.
  6. I look for a full 8mm of tread, and square blocks (not wriggly) with sharp snipes. Do you know if the attributes for dirt/grass performance are transferable to snow/ice? Obviously, the full 8mm tread is a gimmie but the actual tread profile etc? for snow and ice, the prime attribute is the sipe

  8. I use them on dirt and grass - they are awesome
  9. Finally changed the brake rotors after warping them at the dobc playday. Did 2 events with them warped, kept the speed below 150k\'s. They were fine ;D
  10. we used air tools only when stuff was too tight otherwise it was 3/8 socket set. Took 2 hrs due to neither of us done this before
  11. My rear diff has been whining for a few years. Got a near-new diff from a generous Stoffa for a great price, and Webster installed it on his hoist, with me assisting. There were sparkly bits in the oil, and the diff was very noisy on overrun. All vanished now
  12. Oh Debs it\'s your fault my car runs out of gas at the bottom of the tank
  13. Have you ever had an inkling that maybe the fuel gauge fell quicker after the needle reached half way? I did, so I did a fully scientific experiment and found out my hunch was true. Here is what I specifically measured for my car, you mileage may vary : Fuel Gauge litres between gauge marks F 0 3/4 17 1/2 14 1/4 13 E 10 No gas 5 So what does this tell me? That the distance between F and 3/4 gives the longest driving distance, and that the distance between 1/4 and E gives the shortest distance. And when it\'s down to E, then the 5 litres left in the tank is really only fumes, because of the saddle shape and shallow shape of bottom of the tank. It\'s confirmed my thoughts that the fuel runs out quicker at the bottom half of the gauge.
  14. My legacy engine done 380k from original. It helped to change oil at 5k intervals.
  15. The beauty of the little turbo is that you get awesome early response from it. You\'re getting max torque at 4491rpms and 90% max torque at 3500. That should give you excellent push driving out of corners.
  16. I use my cool MSNZ lanyard daily at work to hold my usb/security key stuff. Reminds me of the motorsport everytime
  17. Great work Doris! How I wish we had a motorkhana each month down here. Heaps of fun
  18. My pick is V4 coupe mainly because is the donor car for 22B. Also it\'s got just the right size rear wing, a really nice front lip.
  19. Yeah I have similar problem with my Starlet but from different source. The water temp sensor has gone faulty so ecu makes fuel rich to protect against hotness and leanness in cylinder.
  20. What if you\'ve got discarded pieces from 2 really broken gearboxes? Is anything worth keeping? Have inadvertantly destroyed 2x type-r gearboxes in 1 year, and have all the left-over parts. I\'ll keep the spare dccd internal unit but the dccd case itself is a little shattered - don\'t ask - some dodgy purchase I never noticed till too late. About the only other thing maybe worth keeping could be the main case - someone please tell me this too is useless. Help me throw this stuff away.
  21. An alternative if you don\'t have CRC is to spray it with a \'dry-glide\' silicone spray used for drawers.
  22. Just the std one AdamOst.
