No idea. Hasn't been bottomed out or anything.
Too much torque? :lol:
Got ralliart mounts all round except for the rear which is the HS60 from Meek and it's already split after 2000kms.

Water pump on Rowans car is in, still got to put the cambelt back and the ps and aircon pump and rad - what a faff doing the water pump due to that bloody engine mount bracket over one corner of it.
Didn't like the look of the auto tensioner when I removed it as it looks old so will have to test that before making a decision on replacing. Also oil came out from behind it when I removed it, don't know how/where it came from but was behind it, hope the block isn't cracked behind there.
Did the water pump/timing belt on the legnum last night/today.
Also went to the wreckers and picked up a new front bar, driver's side guard, bonnet, and lights for it.
Now to work out why the fans don't come on.
Man '96 FTO GPX
Man '89 Legacy RS Rally car
Man '90 MR2 GT
Auto '08 Fairmont Ghia

That's why you remove the engine mount bracket and the A/C compressor mounting bracket when doing the water pump.

Head gasket or cracked head or cracked block.

Oh sorry Rob, I thought you meant there was oil behind the water pump.
Continue on with fingers crossed

Got the white one lowered again at #TimKnottMotorsport. Need to bring front driver side down a tad more, but should be easy to sort before wheel alignment!
Restored some pink tail lights for the Evo/GSR ...
Picked em up on ebay for $50, when they sell brand new for over $200 ...
They actually looked a lot more pink in person ... But at $50 it was worth a try to fix them up ... Kinda glad I did...
I just had to add it ......

Yeah, am guessing a cheapish material (usually made in Thailand) and affected by good ol' mother nature.
This should now last the test of time...
