Removed the other trailing arm ready for offset castor bush to be pressed in this week.

Am trying to find the local seller for the rear lower arms so i can just go and pick them up, but cant seem to find the listing on ebay.

Anyone able to help me out with that one?

Finally got the alternator bolt off (was done up way too tight) thanks to payaya and replaced the alternator belt.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like the alternator is the cause of my engine noise, looks like a pulley in the timing belt area :\ I'd have to have it all replaced and it's going to cost quite a bit. Add to that that I need to spend money on other areas I'm now considering just getting another FTO.

So depending on financial factors I'm now looking at another FTO. Would like to get rock-it's FTO it's just a tad expensive. Want something in good condition and that already visually looks good. Not a great deal of FTO's for sale that I like unfortunately.

Rock_its car will end up being the same price as any other car by the time you mod it. Bobby is basically a finished project and it has been taken care of since Craig has had it. So by the time you fix small things up on another car you will have spent the same amount anyway.

Just take a loan out, could probably get it for less than 100 bucks a week.

I easily have the money now but next year I'm back at Uni for my final year, so I need to save everything this year to get me through it, otherwise I would have taken the plunge already. Just in a crappy spot, full time work this year virtually no work next year. I might just take out a 7 year variable loan to get lower repayments and then when I'm back working pay it off in full

Or save up enough cash to cover the repayments for your year at uni. 40 weeks x say $75 = $3k needed to get you through a year of uni.

Anyway, back to the thread.

About $60 actually..

But yeah, she has been a problem free car for me. If I keep her, will be doing either a full respray and fitting of Dwayne rear bar and front guards.. Or wrap it in flat black..

She gets 12 month rego tomorrow..
I just had to add it ......

What will be your deciding factor of keeping it?
Do you have a time limit on when you want it to sell or something?

Don't get the money I want = Keep..

No time factor as I am more than able to afford to run the 4+ vehicles. Just means I don't do what I want to the Evo straight away.. And let's me share the K's to all vehicles instead of putting them all on 2.

I still have Dwayne rear bar and guards.. So if I don't sell the car will put those on and respray or wrap while I am at it. I LOVE her, and driving her so if she doesn't go, she will get some more attention.. :)
