not my car and it was yesterday,

fitted a cat back exhaust system on a fairladyZ (350Z) with a help of a neighbor.

my car still praked at my mate's since i fuked it up on ruapuna track day lol

[aim]

I've dented it a little.

did a sloooow drift (20kph) into a snow bank. hit ice coming down the mt hutt access road. The door is now bent a little and no longer quite sits flush with the body

[Guest Bemrose]

lol at your sig, i wonder why

[aim]

lmao it wasn't like that. I'm not sure if you've been up mt Hutt but the road up there is pretty treacherous at times - I was being careful, but obviously not quite careful enough. Was driving down slowly braking when I turned the wheels I kept going straight. I managed to get the rear around a little so I hit the snow wall fully side on, lucky it was fairly powdery and the law of pressure saved my bacon. The door is only a little bent and only noticeable if pointed out.

[Guest Bemrose]

but you know its there

that's a shame mate. driving too fast ae. did you have chains on?

[aim]

No chains. In hind sight bit of a silly move given I'm running such road orientated tyres. I got up fine, so I thought I'd be all good on the way down - gravity was working with me to push me into the bank I'll show you the damage next time I see you Ross.

Once work pays up and I pay off my OD I'll look at getting it rectified. Do we know any panel beaters in the chch area? it shouldn't be too big of a job. No paint is broken or lost, so won't even need repainting.

[aim]

I heard of at least three accidents that day on that road - I guess I was lucky that I only had very minor damage.

I know and it pisses me off, that's why I'll look at getting it fixed depending on price.

[Guest]

Cleaned out my boost control solenoid... its been playing up since the last rebuild, may be an excuse for a new shiny one eh???

[Guest Bemrose]

i need a new one too mines fucked and ticking

[zarnah]

I did heaps! (ish, considering I have about an hour a day max of free time at this time of year) finally got my old engine out, have swapped flywheel etc onto my new engine (it was auto), taken the exhaust manifold and turbo of the new engine ready to bolt up my poor mans headers (250t headers) and twisted setup, just waiting on new clutch plate which may get tommorow with a bit of luck and I can begin putting it all in

[QRAF]

went home at lunch time and found my cheap as chips bov had arrived and it looks like its going to fit just need to fit it and bung up my pipe as it 100% vented.

where do you get that from super cheap?

doesn't it all do the same job?

[Guest keltik]

I looked at mine and decided to drain the oil...then remembered my waste oil barrel is full... So fuck it. Ill do it next week.

Popped the exhaust and spare wheel brace off the hatch and emptied the float bowl of the carb. Unhooked a few other pieces. Makes me sad

[Guest Fastfour]

A cap will crush when you tighten it, and no get a good seal.

Any place that sell bov's should have bungs.
