The rolling shot looks good!

I agree man, awesome shot thanks to Sam! I really gotta get the new foglight in, just waiting for the bulbs to come in to save me from having to get into those gaps twice.

Haha, it needs a touchup in photoshop.

I don't know how you guys do it, leaning out the window to take a photo at 110 ain't easy, plus Zac was boosting..

Not all of them know how to steal cars

[Liberty]

I turned on my car this morning and activated the windscreen wipers as you normally would after it had been raining. I look in the rear view mirror and activate the rear wiper on the selection 'INT', only to notice that it stops midway and never where it's meant to start/stop from.

 

What's happened?

 

I've tried turning off and turning on my car but it still does it. Does anyone know how to fix this small, yet annoying, issue? This morning was the first time it has happened to me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jammed motor?

[Liberty]

I was thinking that, but the wiper stops in different places almost in a sequence, not in the same place each time I turn it on, off and on again. When I say sequence, it'll stop at 1/4, then halfway, then 3/4, then the full way, then start at the beginning but slightly above where it's meant to rest, and so on.

 

How would I go about cleaning out the motor?

Sounds like a dead motor or a broken earth wire from the parking disc.

The parking disc keeps power to the motor after the switch is turned off until the motor hits the 'dead' spot in the disc, which is the park position.

I've got a rear wiper motor if you end up needing one Garrrrrrrrrry.

Awesome man. I'll have a look and keep you posted.

Thanks for that Jase. Now how would I go about seeing whether there actually is a broken earth wire? I assume it's just a matter of removing the trim from the boot lid (which is also how I will locate the motor if it needs replacing)?

I wonder if your having the same problem as what the sunroof motors have... Worn out brushes... Cost me $3 to fix mine

Hey Gaz, Are you still after an exhaust system. I think this fits your car and seems like a bargain

Thanks heaps for the link Haz, but I've already made a purchase on the stainless steel quad mufflers from TCP Auto. They should be coming in pretty soon. I am after the Xforce centre muffler and Y-pipe assembly though but in mild steel, not stainless steel as per the topic I created... If it's still there by the time I get back from Thailand I wouldn't mind giving the stainless steel bits a run and compare the sound.

 

Sucks that I don't have the money to get this right now as it stands though as I could easily sell the bits I don't need...

[Adam]

Yeah, Surely that kit would be cheaper than new mild steel???

[Liberty]

Brand new mild steel centre muffler and Y-pipe assembly from Best Mufflers will set me back $220.

[Adam]

Oh, my baaaaad

[Cam.]

And you aren't buying an entire catback with stainless everything and mufflers for $300 because?

Bargain!!!!!!!!!!

[U-Shell]

Should buy it and sell for a small profit!

[Liberty]

That's exactly what I am thinking of doing... I am just not in a position to buy it NOW a week before I go to Thailand... If it's there when I return I'm on it, no doubt about it. But I've definitely thought about buying it all, selling the bits I don't need and getting a least a bit of money back...

I've heard mixed emotions between going all stainless steel. Apparently the sound isn't as deep and it is a bit tinny when cold.
