Dumb Question Thread!

[Guest hate-evoz]

yea they weaken, you can adjust the tightness on the back . look on youtube how to do it

[Johnnynz]

Can be adjusted at the Handle end also if your at the top of your handle range.

[Timmah]

Cool, I\'ll YouTube this. So there\'s nothing like pads or such that need replacing? Just tighten her up and off you go?

I had it as far as the handle would go (I think) oddly enough I had it tightened almost 5k ago during a service.

Handbrake pads/shoes dont really wear unless you do handbrake slides/funny stuff or roll around in salt water.

Some cars have handbrake hooked up to rear brakes other run handbrake as a drum inside rotor.

I\'m no expert but I just adjusted my Handle, darn simple and fixed my problem.

Centre console out and if you can adjust a push bike Gearset its self explanatory.

That shows a much much much better way to ensure you have a good strong handbrake. Takes bugger all time to do it properly and you could park it on a cliff after tightening it up at the back.

Thanks Koom! Just what I want.

Pvc downpipe in replace of snorkel or seal up the airbox around the guard?

Can you drill out the intake on the airbox to match the size of the hole in the guard, then seal it up?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

It\'s close to the same size as it is, and i\'m hoping to have an easily reversible mod should i ever decide to sell. All standard parts are being kept

Then I\'d just pvc it up. Will do the job sweet!

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Sweet, now to find me some pipe that\'ll fit lol, that won\'t cost me a 3m length... Only need probs 3/4 meter of it, and a couple of bends... But to buy it in a full length f**k it\'s expensive!!!!

Surely you could ask a plumber(s) or a work site for a piece of off run they don\'t need?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Yep, few plumbers on site where i am atm, i\'m keeping my eyes wide open hahahahaha

[QRAF]

think he means go an ask them not just steal or take from the bin.

most plumbers id now would be how much you need to then buzz here you go

to bad my plumber friend moved to aussie

[Marky]

Where are you running the PVC pipe to?

If the airbox is pulling air directly from the guard already then it\'s as cold as it can possibly get already, without the risk of it sucking water if you try 4x4\'ing in it

Pretty sure the factory setup (the over - the - radiator thing) on v7 onwards doesn\'t actually present any measurable restriction anyway I thought?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

I want induction noise lol. Looking at maybe getting hold of a spare foglight cover to butcher for a ram intake and piping it up to the airbox

silicone intake?

[Marky]

You lose most of the sound running the pipe down anyway, muffles it heaps.

Get one of those M&H silicon AFM pipes (they\'re like $60), leave the airbox open to the guard, sor\'ed - loud as you\'ll get it without just using a pod

The under manifold pipes make things a heap louder too don\'t they?

correct. thats what im sayin. silicone intake will get you lots of induction noise. will also make the stock BOV more audible also

My clutch squeaks when I engage or release it slowly, not quickly though.

Is this a matter for CRC5.56 or is it a bit more than that i.e high temp grease or what not.

CRC! Fixes everything

I am a WD40 convert myself

[Codex]

I\'d use wd40 for some things (works magic when trying to fix anodizing too ) but after seeing what id does to bike chains i\'d be cautious o-o turns bike chains into rust factories lol
