if your talking about lifting the bonnet heres what you donvr2low wrote:What do you mean furthest away man were do you put them washes please show
1. remove the plastic water guide (just beneath the windscreen), there are little clip things. take your time because these snap
2. remove the rubber strip that goes along the top of the engine bay. without this more air can escape the engine bay
3. [one side at a time] you have 2 bolts that connect the bonnet hinge to the chassis on each side. undo the top heads of the bolts and slip your washers on.
4. once done slide the hinge back on the 2 bolts and retighten the heads. easy peasy bonnet lift
- do the other side
5. put the plastic water guide back on
6. take off any wires that may be earthed to the firewall and earth them elsewhere
tips:
- if you use to many washers your bolt head wont have much thread on the bolt... high speeds + weak bonnet latch attatchment = death
- if your bonnet is vented then listen to capatain obvious - ''you dont need to do this''
- dont put the washers on the latch > bonnet side because when you lift up the bonnet the corners touch the chassis, which damages paint
hope that helps mate

I could have put it at $23000 but I would have to pay more each year. As for why it's at that price because I too have done work to it and to get a new car and do 1/2 the mods again would take more money than that.Valandis91 wrote:whys yours insured for so much! with all the stuff ive done to mine and everything mines only insured for $19700 i wouldve liked 20 somethingaza013 wrote:The closest thing I did to work on the car today was drive it and renew my insurance $1117 later all done.

About a 2 weeks ago i put in petes 2nd hand compressor $50, last week i put back in my old condenser that was welded up $50, replaced the TX valve $55 & receiver driver $25 replaced all the o-rings, everything myself and got dad to gas it up (FREE!). So for a total of $180 i saved about $1500.
Aircon sits about 6-7 degrees in the vents. And i must say aircon places overcharge.
Yesterday i sanded and polished my headlights, installed a new ciggarette lighter, put some new windscreen washers on, dug around at the wreckers to find a knob for my windscreen wipers (off a magna, exact same). Also bought some HKS flexi intake pipe.
Tommorow, well today lol. plan on trial fitting my new veilside bumper and fitting my flexi pipe for the bumper to airbox run. Might buy a sh*tty pod filter or something as well. Also thinking of de-spoliering. kind of like the flat boot look. Also while i have the bumper off ill fit the HID ballasts under there.
Sounds like a busy day for me.

We just used a 3 arm puller to remove the axle, then banged em out with a hammer, then 'pressed' the new ones on with a hammer, and pulled the axle on with a big long bolt. Lots of 'innovating' but we got it done! Would be easier with the correct tools but doable all the same.
Biggest recommendation is DO NOT USE GENERAL PURPOSE GREASE. We couldn't believe the Mitsi manual suggests this! No wonder we cooked the grease at OP!! Disc brake front ends should always have hi temp grease. We used some Shell racing sh*t dad picked up a while ago.
Drop by on Sat and have a look if you want. Front end is still not fully back together, next step is cleaning up the front coilovers and refitting em.

What work? I need 2 panels to be resprayed (maybe even the full car due to the shape of the FTO) and a dent out of my drivers side quarter panel.
Some stupid Asian lady hit the side of my car while I was driving straight, she's trying to put the blame on me but even the police said she's completely in the wrong.
