As I see it the car came with factory cold air induction so why remove it for a pod filter sucking in hot engine bay air!?! thats why I got a UniFilter ordered and sent up when I first got my  T2. I'm in Brisbane, got it ordered through autobahn. But further on this I've seen on some NZ online car p...

thursday came and went as did friday. theres still some problem with the rebiult cv ends not fitting and causing wobble onthe wheels, each of them. the right bearing was perfect he said with the left pretty much gone as expected.   found out the guy is a friend of my parents neighbours so he does de...

Ok I bit the bullet and dropped  my baby off yesterday. I stressed that te stock aussie city parts WON't  fit and suggested the civic wagon for a bearing match etc. they said out parts guys have the parts ready for us, so a one day job... ANyway as I told them the bearings and cv/driveshafts where a...

sorry Im a bit dumb when it comes to how this all works. Is where the line levels off where your device interupts the signal? And where blue line peaks the boost cut? If so does this leveling off effect fuel mixture ie. lean it out any as computer reading a 3.2 volt measure (right)? I guess thats wh...

...your in brisbane too aren't you!? Think a guy with a silver T2 gave me your card once while back....

its your new one tats slipping?! thats wierd... I'm not 100% of their mechanics really, but if its had easy driving it shouldnt be glazed or tired already... my clutch was replaced about mid 2004, I found it slipped when coming on boost usually more noticeable the faster I was travelling when boost ...

Got another quote from Pedders, they said would replace each side, new shaft and (I think) outer joints only (?) for $225 per side with fitting for a pair at $160 inc wheel alignment (whoopee). so thats $620ish what honda pretty much quoted me... also the quote above. Honda advised as we know the ac...

I'm now (last several months) getting a sort of vibration of shudder comin gfrom what feels to be the front left wheel. Usually once you get above 50 or so. Its also the wheel the brake pads wore down on and scratched the disk up. Haven't noticed movement in the wheel or excessive camber so do you t...

from what I can tell when disconnected from earth the battery does not lose charge.   When connected and left for a few days its as dead as you'd like... Know, with the battery connected Iused a circuit tester on the fuses under the dash.... and found with key out, and everything off, there are TWO ...

ah yeah sounds good. I remember a jap site that showed how this guy took a mold of the rear lights and remade them in clear plastic then used coloured bulbs, looked well cool. but you'd need a good search to track the site down.. anyone remebre or recall seeing this...!? I was considering myself thi...
