Keep it mate. I went threw the same thing and after looking around and seeing only 3ltrs I've started repairs..
The way I took it was
Sell the q, buy a zd30 and spend $5 thou straight up on prevention measures and still run the risk.
Or keep the q, put the 5 thou into it and have a nice car that I know the history of..
Dont go gas. Go light turbo setup. As you will have more power you'll use less go peddle..
Was awesome fun mate, just uploading a couple videos now.
Skid pan, oversteer exercise.

Picked up this little beauty at a top price from LEDLight Co (vendor thread). A great members discount.Attachment 34581
Munchkin scored in the top 3 for Oz in Chevron Australia's photo comp for his pic of a Boab Tree, not bad for a 12 yro.
Places not know until presentation night in a few weeks
Yup, only problem is I forget what the pic looked like :( Will try and get a copy on Saturday when I pick him up from his Mum's place and put it up :)
What a great sunrise this morning.
My rear rotors arrived and its only 8.30
Cant wait to fit front and rear with the Brembo pads
I am guessing they are better than standard rotors TD?
@ OD yeah hoping for much better grip, @ $75 a rotor that's not too bad.
I'll get my OE rotors machined and store them.
But its more the pad than the rotor IMO that helps you stop.
OE rotors are flat these are dipple drilled [counter sunk] and slotted
I`ve got a 4.2 shorty for two days.
Lucky boy Fracster, thinking of trading??
@ OD going to use RDA extreme Pads {gold}
No, mine is in for a timing belt swap, he found the front crank seal leaking a bit, so may as well change that whilst the car is in bits.
4.2 pulls like a train, but diesel is £7.50 a gallon over here, the 2.8 drinks enough of that.Plus I like my LWB.
Got the power and phone back on this afternoon,first time since sunday
bugger, those gas lanterns and gen sets would be getting a work out down there
Ordered some gear for my Patrol, and fitted some today as well, finally catching up on some maintenance, and little jobs.
all this is weather dependent
Wow, blow me down with a feather! The clutch boot turned up today. It is already fitted and sealed:) Thanks to Andrew at Autopro.
After 2 years of working on this project I am finally finished!!!!!!!!!!
I am now getting the applications uploaded and approved by Apple and Google Play....Praying they accept it and then I can show everyone my idea and hoping people on here can help me with getting the word out there to the 4wd, camping and touring world!!!
Thanks Westy, it has been a mamoth nightmare to the point I gave up a lot of times.
It's a world wide site that no one has thought of yet so there is no competition hence I am hoping everyone is comfortable to spread the word amongst other forums, websites, blogs, word of mouth, and any other social media.
I need to hit some big 4wd countries too.....Russia, USA, etc.....There are so many 4wd forums around the world....It's going to be a nightmare...lol
And Its not a forum...lol....I have too much on my plate here to start another forum...LMAO
14.5 hours today, a bit of overtime coin to boost the holiday fund.

Went onto the computer and looked on the forum, the forum sponser tags have changed :) cool
