They're like a nice warm buttered piece of toast with a yeasty coat of vegemite.

I think that was originally a "Used HKS Super power flow 250mm mushroom pod filter with silicon joiners for a bargain wont find any cheaper $100 from Taz" pun?

Nah I was gonna say doesn't adjusting the handbrake from the top stretch your cable but I realized he was trying to loosen it not tighten it, I read from bottom to top, I was on my phone and being lazy/

Plus there's no adjustment from the bottom!

Well seeing as i have finished doing the rear end i will start working on the interior and engine.

This weekend i plan to:

-Install Error Code free ABS ECU (Already cleaned and installed new ABS Sensors)
-Give My center console, handbrake lever and Gear Gaitor off to my work collegue (Upholsterer) to get made up and covered in new leather
-Drain Sump - fill oil cooler and system with new Penrite HPR Full Syn 10W along with new Drift Oilfilter
-Reinstall Radiator, Replace Coolant Sensor from Shtuart, fill with coolant

- Start Car

- Bleed Brakes/Adjust handbrake Cable

Next week

Install new Front Swaybar Poly Bushes
Install new Front Swaybar Whiteline Adjustable Droplinks
Order New Tie Rod Ends
Adjust Front Coilovers Higher
Clean and rubberize Front Wheel Arches

This should compliment the already new LCA Bushes, Wheel Bearings and Balljoints in the front

Well progress has halted due to me having to buy two Davies Craig fans to fit the oil cooler lines in with our rubbing hardout on sh*t.

However got the interior bits out and the sump drained.

Did stuff
