Haha itll never be a black hole generating 20psi gen3 though!


20psi ftw! Though not sure mine cuts through space and time fabric just yet haha.

I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

Another bonus. You learn so much doing things yourself. Next time you do the same thing with another car it'll take you half the time. ;)

FARK YOU CAR!!


After only 300km on the new/refurb passenger side hub, i noticed a loud rubbery squeek when rolling the car around today

Got the shits with it and pulled the rim off and checked it thinking it may be the cv boots or something simple

But after pulling the whole hub off i found the outer seal wasnt fitted right and was wearing away (rubber all in the brake disc) and was making a horrible sound

Luckily cardiff auto had spares so i tore it off...im getting good at it now lol...10mins!! And flew up to cardiff and swapped it over

All is now good..but it wiped out 3 to 4 hours outta my day when i wanted to give the car a polish and wax :(

So she got a half arsed wash and wipe down and interior clean and i think thatll do :)

But im now ready for tomorrow and keen as mustard!

I wish I was attending HVC15. This RS would be one I'd be tracking down! Even if it has chewed on an inner seal :P

Well, after seeing pics, your car just looks god awful, so terrible.

 

 

But seriously.....

 

 

LOOKS MINT AS!!


As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;

I should just convert to single, right?

So got over the spark breakdown/soft misfire yesterday when booting 3rd and 4th.
So on Micks recommendation i sourced another alternator from the wreckers today...scored a bugeye RS alternator which was the same part number and got it very cheap ;)

So dug in and put the new STi coils i got from STi heaven (10min job now) and swapped alternators

Took her for a good run to my local test area and had a good run in all gears at WOT.
I didnt feel it once! Pretty stoked! Will drive it to work a few times this week ato be sure its fixed, but after the run yesterday and what it was doing i should have felt it today if it was still there

Car was crab walking hard in the wet! Hahaha was such a blast :)
