monk you’ll find Jetseal works well under “normal” conditions but it’s about 20 years old now and doesn’t hold up like a lot of the more modern finishes against some direct...

^ very carefully blend with wet n dry the edges and give the exposed colour coat a very light going over at the same time. The rattle can clear over the whole panel, build it up heavy. It’ll be...

“I’ve got Corona”, these days the best way to ensure alone time

They still get stuff made in China, but at least the company still exists as one that makes stuff here as well https://www.stanfred.com.au which I’d trust more than the buying agent for Supercheap...

Lewis would hardly know the racial struggle, sure I get it he’s not white, but he did not have a poor upbringing. The fact his family was able to fund his karting at such a level Before he got...

AU Falcons solving Saab problems, is there anything they can’t do?

A China 9in is probably as good as the first 9in were when made by Ford. It’s was the only game in town “back in the day” to make a Ford 9in fit under anything. Since then there’s...

If anything I’d say that “Asian Team” that keeps getting talked about will neatly sail in and it’ll be “VinFast Williams” or “Wuhan Williams” or something.

Do it.

Makes a world of difference in how the car feels driving around because it has zero “tinny” noises....

I hate rattles.


When I put the new hatch release solenoid in I used a bit of foam to stop it vibrating too much. Well that ran out of squish, so today in my hunt I went hardcore with...

Today I wasn’t really going to do car stuff but the sun eventually turned up and while organising some stuff in the garage I thought I’d have a bit of a tinker.

There’s...

Renault to the rescue? Stop paying Toto for the engines, save a few bucks and move on. It’s not like they’re getting anywhere with the Benz powerunits.

I’m not sure who has the tree growing good F20C donor engines in their backyard. Great motor but I think it was $9k proposition the last time someone I know went looking for a donor.

Track days costs wouldn’t be extortion though. The 4-pot Brembos run common enough pads, the rotors are available from DBA and cost much the same as every non-Falcon/Commo rotor for their size....

As a kit you’re right. As a built “shield” that an Arduino nano plugs into with a pretty case and terminals I think it’d do alright.

because the Arsuino can do interpolation...

RS250/265/275. There was one run of 100 French Police spec without the LSD. Basically any of the last shape 3 doors is good.



The factory LSD is more than good enough (it’s...

I think there’s a market for a updated idea of the same concept, maybe with Arduino in the middle - so more of a “Automotive I/O Shield” and a hand controller to do basic parameter adjustment...

You mean leaving the electronic BOV connected to the loom in the engine bay and using a mechanical instead . Like the MAF in a GroupA Bluebird
