Everybody makes mistakes, especially if you are only starting out. Let me know if you need any bits and I'll see what I can find. Thanks man, I don't at the moment but I'll let you know. Dad said he'd help me out on this one but said he'd prefer if it went to the mechanic of his choice so it's at M...

I don't know how everyone else spent their Thursday night, but I spent mine learning an expensive and potentially very dangerous lesson. As the car owner, triple check everything is bolted up correctly. Don't assume that it has been unless you've seen it checked three time. http://i.imgur.com/EoiQR....

What time are you there til? I can only get off work at about 5 and it'll take a bit of time to get the right one off as well.

Upper riccarton, very near uni. Everything on the front left is as detached as you can see in the photos. Nothing on the front right is though.

KYB's are good shocks, i run then in my Hilux and take a beating. I used Standard Height Shocks with Lowering springs on the front and its captive, if its only a tiny bit lose you might just need new rubber bits that go around the spring. Looks good, new shocks and springs will Totally transform it...

So thus far I've failed to undo the metal thing (name?). I don't suppose anyone has either the proper tool to undo it, the knowledge to undo it with out the tool, or two new metal things I can buy so I it doesn't matter if I break the current ones?

I had Cobras and KYBs in my car before I went to coil overs, they were really good apart from being not quite low enough. Are the rear springs captive? You'll more than likely need to remove the front struts from the car and put them in a vice or on the ground to get the top nut undone. Mine were a...

Hey so it's been a while since I've been on here, but between uni finishing and some how getting an internship over the summer I haven't had a lot of free time. Anyway, something exciting arrived yesterday, just in time for this Saturday's cruise as well. KYB shocks and Cobra springs. I know there a...

I could be keen, put me down for now anyway though. Between some engine hesitation, new suspension setup turning up soon and a new fuel pump coming we'll have to see what state the car is in. Come anyway, you can grab a ride if yours isn't running. Ha yeah suppose I could, Blenheim road isn't too f...
