Not this one... Still handles well... Tight as a nuns c**t!

Vixen handles like a video game.... tweety is a lot more work to drive

But things start to get loose and sag.

That's what cable ties are for.

Whole point of driving.

^ this!

yeah its a whole lot more pleasurable to drive... Vixen is better for long tours though

Updated original post,

Fixed the shifter shroud today, replaced broken passenger side tail light - then heard a squeak from the engine bay yesterday, popped the bonnet today and the aircon belt has jumped 2 teeth and shredded so that's just become the most urgent thing at the mo...

Fix one thing and another problem comes along...

Haha FTOLYF!

Updated original post,

New speakers in, belts went in ages ago

Just clocked 106 thou k's with a run through the national park.

oh and some old bag cut me off and hit the front left of the car so it goes in for repairs next Friday

So replaced the stereo today, cracked the stereo surround... she's gone brittle!

Just need to hook up the cd stacker put in the new option floor mats and move on to some preventative engine recon now.

First post list updated

I cringed when I read that!

Yeah its not a big deal... just cracked a little just to annoy me.

I've already bought a new one anyway. It's the least of my worries... just have to laugh that at one point I had 3 unbroken ones lol

Installed new cam belt and water pump with Daniel and fraz's help over the weekend +2... took about 15 hours total including 3 goes with the cam belt to work out I had it right the first time... pics to come when I get a computer (laptop hdd died). Quite satisfied I did 95% of it myself considering I had f**k all knowledge.

Updated first post

Oh yeah... my top engine mounts are fucked now too, that's next in the list

Well done Schumie
It's a great fealing when you get stuff done yourself

Yeah I'm sure I could do it all in my sleep now... Def know I could do it in under 5 hours now including the water pump, it's not actually that hard if you know which order to take stuff off

Sahin is keen to tackle my timing belt and tensioners now to get rid of that horrible sound. Sahin is a true legend, cheers mate.

Lol... should have a rebuild race...

Yes... Shane-o is amazing... All hail Shane-o

I could definitely do it under 5 hours with cam lockers, and matt your water pump will last to your next timing belt after this one because it's about 20k kms old and they usually outlast the belt by about 40k

Got pink slip
