Did the whole shop smell like clutch?

Fortunately not lol. Was quite funny tho

[Jakee]

Mine was being driven up onto a lift and the guy stalled on the ramps and got out and refused to move it. Claimed the clutch was to heavy. I got in, he had left the car in third. Facepalm

[xsvpwr]

and a can of upper engine cleaner

[G-unit]

Photo documentation would be most excellent

Today, filled up the windscreen wiper bottle with more water and windscreen wash stuff. Also put some blobs of bluetak under that plastic cover for the speedo and stuff to hopefully stop the damn rattle.

Just need to see how to take off the plastic cover thing on the steering column to stop that *(^#$(*&$*(#&$*(&$ thing from rattling. /rage.

hands got way 2 dirty 2 take pics with the wifes camera sorry, its very simple tho, if u do it, jack car up remove rim, then remove the inner guard, u will see a metal bracket, undo that, theres a nut inside the engine bay, 2 actually, just under the airbox/pod filter and then theres 1 near the front of the car, but inside the front guard that holds the massive filter box in aswell, then it just falls out, the hardest part for me was not braking the plastic clips that hold the inner guard in

Ahh yes those plastic clips are fun. I had fun with them when I removed my monstrosity of a box too

you must have a wardrobe full of fittings and fuel stuffs by now

[Koom]

Removed a cracked rim due to the dickheads who are building the new motorway extension not being able to completely fill a trench that they dug across the road, or put up roadworks signs when they hadn't left the road in a useable condition.

[xsvpwr]

take photo's and lodge a formal complaint, STMS regulations are ridiculously harsh and you should be able to get some form of action due to their incompetence...

[Koom]

I went back and took a photo after work but it had been re-filled and had become a lump across the road by that time. Not even sure who to complain to and it has taken another month for the crack to open up. So really not sure how good any argument/proof is by now. It was bad enough that the whole car got airborne when I hit it as my head touched the roof/ceiling (what do you call it in a car?).

[xsvpwr]

haha I'd go with roof. NZTA would be who you complain to but on second thoughts any complaint procedure would probably take about 6 months with their processing times so not really worth it...

Damn that sucks!! I hate some of the roads about ChCh. And the drivers! Fuuuu there's pothole, now they come up my ass all angry cause I slowed down..

I'm also seeing Tony tomorrow so I'll ask about the Cold Air Intake too

[Koom]

In general the roads don't bother me cause there's not much we can do about that, its when some dickheads cut a trench across a road and then don't compact it properly so it slumps overnight and leaves a nice deep trench with sharp edges to ****k wheels that it seems a bit pointless and lazy, especially when their signage starts another couple hundred metres down the road. Plus I just seem to like wingeing more than usual at the moment....;D

I'm still encouraging him to keep working on my heads too. Slowly coming along nicely. It is kinda weird for me being a paying customer for once though.

Wish I could get my work done for free But tomorrow should be fun Interesting looking at the subby's just chilling there. Especially the one with a poddy the size of my head.

[Koom]

I don't normally get work done for free. What I get is Tony and Josh sitting in my car drinking beer while I try to solder stuff and concentrate or moving things just as I'm about to weld them. It may be due to my tendancy to stand around drinking beer and annoying them while the "3" of us work on the rally car ;D

My favourite cars are the old Escorts that sometimes grace the shop. Although once the coupe finally gets out of the paint shop (I've been waiting in ChCh for it since 2007) then there will be another Suby to really drool over parked in there ;D

On topic again: also today I tried to convince the machine shop guys to make my vernier cam pulleys that I've been waiting 12months for. Not sure if I got anywhere as I also dumped far too much "proper" work on them an hour later
