Just went out to the shed and started mine up..poor thing should be on blocks,only did 26km in the last month....was thinking about taking it for a drive but it's raining..
put new plates on mrs possums car this week,to match mine.
I was gonna jump in mine and take it for a spin, tinker with boost control a bit more and possibly head over to Mudskis, but walked out looked at it and walked back inside.
Don't GQ's work in the rain?Quote:

Maybe start a thread asking if someone will lend you their ecu?? But like i said i'm not sure if its plug and play or if you will need to sync the ecu with the bcm and nats system. When i get a chance mate i'll let you know and we'll have a lookseeQuote:

Was actually bracing myself for a whole world of pain getting it off, but it came off really easy and didnt leave any glue behind. Only took about 45mins all up.
Method used was :
1. spray entire window with windex (make sure that its the one that says not to use on window tint!)
2. cover entire window with a large black plastic garbage bad to keep the windex from evaporating and get some free heat from the sun
3. park in the sun and leave for 30mins.
It is actually quite wintery here today so I gave it a bit of help from a heat gun on the outside of the window
4. peel back slowly from one corner, dont pull too fast or jerk it or you'll leave glue behind
5. drink a beer to celebrate a job well done!!!!
Many thanks to Mudski! Took the car around to his place and he tampered with the needle valve and we both took it for a spin and shes back to normal now. Very happy jan! Lets just see how long it stays this way ...
Thanks George. After Mudski played around with it today, it's leaning towards the boost control side of things as the culprit. So will keep an eye out on it and see if it shovels s*** in my face again. Hopefully not.Quote:

The GU badge.
The weight of the 35s and so sometimes 33s on the door. It wants to peel the door outwards and thus there crack begins.Quote:

Installed my new 28 smd led roof lights.
:-o I can see....
Get a tig set up. Easier to use, puts less heat into the work, cleaner weld, excellent strength and uses less gas.
Too late bud as I just bought the mig. I need a crap load of new tools, BA can vouch for this, lol, so mabye down the track I will.Quote:

Being testing it for half an hour now, it definitely reads resistance when moving the float but It's not steady, jumps around and sometimes goes back to the original reading from when float is at bottom although float is at top.
All connections seem fine and is clean on the sender slider reading thinngy, not bent and actually looks in pretty good condition but it worries me.
Not sure what to do as it does read changes in float movement....Bugger!!!!
I'm thinking about getting a new one just because... While it's out
I know....really do not want to take it back out again!!!!Quote:

I'll wait until I'm finished. Well, atleast to the painting part. I then will start a DIY thread for others to see how I did it.Quote:
