Yeah but would rather cash up members than jollys and not have to go and pull them

 

You can always pay Jollys in cash. I'm not sure anyone else pays in sexual favors.

Yes Duncan,

 

But Nick is a student, so he must do what has to be done to get the parts.

 

At least he is not into dead things !!

Did more things today. Pea shooter exhaust, all exhaust brackets and hanger restored, one rear strut out then cracked the shits cos it was too hot and i was tired. Progress none the less. Also got me some turbot headers (holy fork theyre heavy) for mad rumbles when its registered or if i get bored in the mean time

4WD spec at the front now

[LPM_B4]

Needs more rego first

Who could say no to a pair for GD alloy arms for $57. Gotta love wreckers. One came out easy the other had a hell of a time cracking the front crossmember bolt. Got in the end. Have pics of its muntedness for later. Had to rip the swaybar links apart cos i didnt have thin enough pliers or an allen key to hold them

[Matt]

Youll need some gc8 sti spherical swaybar links to fit to your swaybar with those arms aswell....the link ones work but are extremely dodgy

And i got a feeling the gd ones are to short

yeah I tried to save the links but I couldn't get them off without ripping them apart.

[Matt]

As said...pretty sure ya cant use them anyways

Just get a set from subaru for a gc8 sti....they are better than most aftermarket ones as far as im concerned
And please tell me you got the black cones that fit onto the ball joint and go into the arms?

If not go back as you need them!

[Barbbachello]

Ah right. Thats what I get for skim reading. I know whiteline ones are adjustable so they should work but are pretty pricey.

No the cones were gone unfortunately. I assume you can get them from Subaru though

[Matt]

And pretty shite aswell...they flog out in the bush

The roadsafe ones from bursons work.....but for the price i just use the gc8 ones
Seriously? Thats crap?

So the ball joint ends were gone? As they often jam on to them and require a bit of trickery to get off

Maybe from suby....but dunno how cheap they are?

[Barbbachello]

Pretty sure they're gone. Both arms were separated from the ball joints. Had a look on some parts diagrams. $15 each in the US. Im not fussed

[Matt]

Damn....well ask around as someobe may have a set aswell....i think Chris had this happen aswell with his foz....dunno where he got his set from?

[Miguel]

They GC8 arms?

GD. Came off a bugeye WRX

Mechanical work done for stage 2. 4WD spec all around and cable tied the front bar on better. Just a windshield, few bulbs and some non tinted indicators left. Went for a test drive and the handling has gone from neutral to boat. Seems to be a bit of low speed whining noise as well. Im assuming the CV or maybe crud on the brakes working its way off. Considering i honestly cant find a split in the CV boot i took off i might put it back in when its rego'd and see what happens. Apart from that it goes a bit nicer with no exhaust leaks and it looks like the oil leaks have stopped. Still smoking like a train while the remnants burn off but ill give it a smash with some degreaser i spose

Its like factory
