Oh hi.
I've been lurking here for a while for the wealth of motivation in the build threads and such. I has a '96 GT4. Being in NZ, it is a JDM facelifted one - no trispokes here, though unfortunately noone in the car's past ever thought to pick up projectors. It currently looks like this:  Anyway, hi, sup etc. Oh, I have a build thread here, and am much too lazy to cross-post everything! http://www.gpforums.co.nz/showthread.php?threadid=435792 This post has been edited by Anoroc: Jan 11, 2015 - 5:47 AM |

Stupid bloody thing.
Went for a warrant yesterday morning - failed on driver's seatbelt not retracting fast enough (now does - replaced with a new one), brake imbalance at the front (hoping a bleed will fix this) and a crack in the exhaust. Visited a mate to try and fix all 3. Used a compression tester to find the crack, turns out its about 1mm away from the only flange in the exhaust (silly non-oem system). Think 'k, well, its not that bad.'. Wirebrush to remove crap from around it; awww nips. Its actually about 7mm wide and 1.5" long. At a flange. With a bolt in the way. With that section of exhaust unable to be easily removed. ****. Changed seatbelt, left brakes till later because angry. At least now i've got an excuse to put my shiny exhaust tip on! |
