Had a look under the hood after noticing some wisps of smoke coming from scoop when engine off- developed an oil leak somewhere near the primary....looks like its under the heatshield - any guesses?

Jacked up one side (was only jacking front but rear wheel came up too- awesome stiff construction!) and found i have cracked cv boot spraying grease on cat

**Edit** - Drove up to Richard (SAS) and had new boot fitted in about 10 mins - cheers dude!

Depends if it is during a week day or a weekend

Week day = at work usually 25 Seddon Street = Seddon Street is the main Street of SH4 next to the Old Theatre

Weekends = At home ( Hopefully as I work 7 days a week ,) 30 George Street = 2nd road on left when coming from Wanganui

Leave the wheels silver!

What size/offset? Should be more camber than that they get heaps of camber just from lowering them in the back?

[Guest]

id go black Centre spokes leave the lip polished.

[thorpy]

Any more pics , looks good. Used to have a t coupe many moons ago , fun cars.

Cleaned up sump, all that goo!! I disdain the crap, apparently that\'s the OE replacement says the guy from BNT I spoke to on the phone. Anyone clarify? I prefer real gaskets/seals as opposed to gunky shite. Also, what\'s the best way to clean the gunge out of the sump?

[MercuryFree]

Yeah gasket goo is normal

[94 Leone]

Damnit, ah well. Cheers for that.

[Roo]

Silicone will be fine just don\'t go overboard with it and make sure you wipe off excess, I hate it when people leave it oozing out

[marc]

Made a little sheild for the alternator.. well V1.0 for now :-X

[Roo]

Fitted battery box in boot and an insulated positive stud under the bonnet.

Removed spare wheel etc.

Polished the roof as it was looking fairly oxidised

Looked at it and thought I might be starting to care about it again or something? Surely not..

[boon]

Did you fuse the feed from the boot? And use at least 2GA wire?

Soooo many people with a relocated battery running 4 gauge wire with no fuse on it, car fire waiting to happen.

Could clean off the old stuff using a whiz wheel pretty quickly

[vfjohno]

Possum Bourne Motorsport make a cork gasket for the ej20 bout 25 bucks

Would post a link but I don\'t know how :-[

Would that I could find it, flap disc will do fine for now. More cleaning stuff on today\'s agenda, new head bolts tomorrow

Voltage drop.

Buy old welder cable usually 6-10m for $50. Double insulated and usually real big.

[Roo]

50mm is overkill though. Factory cables are 25mm so 35mm to overcome the voltage drop is fine.

Yes all battery cable we use is double insulated.

Stop trying to pick holes in what I do for a job

I wasn\'t. My point being I would almost bet that its cheaper than you would pay for it ever so definitely cheaper for a casual member on here without connections.
