Finally sorted the coil overs as the v6 conversions ones are spewing out oil and his 350lb springs are less than 200lb

So i got some new ones off ryan at united speed shop.

Did you front end come with a sway bar Pete? If it didn't, I would get one.

No it didnt but i left the mounting points in the subframe for that reason.

I have a plan to fit a sway bar.


Im very tempted to rip the front end out and change it tho making me cranky i would never buy another one thats for sure.

JB

I knew about the one you had for the rear but not for the front.  ;D

Had the same problem with the AVO shocks, kept chewing up bushes. I also changed to QA1 shocks and springs and haven't had a problem since. No wonder no-one wants to stock AVO's in Australia!

Same old story here not enough hrs in the day im struggling to find time to re assemble ute.
Cut up a 900 dollar radiator to make it fit properlly.
The inlet and outlet were on weird angles so chopped them off and fitted new ones with a doughnut on the lower to make it look pretty.
I have the tool to swage the necks to make them look factory.
I used a copper vk radiator to set up the car so i bought a pwr direct replacement and it was no where near direct replacement.
Lower pins were different and the necks also its slightlly taller
Should of stuck with copper but i wanted the alloy look.
Also Qa1 coilovers didnt come with spanners so i cut my own out.

Attached is a pic of the v6 conversion coil check out the bushes brand new never driven on completely collapsed.

Peter again the same response ..  just brilliant ..  I'm actual get sick of saying it or trying to come up with another way of saying it...   ;)

Thanks for the kind words.

Drew up a alternator bracket today did a little bit of engraving on it.

Might have to fatten it up around where the bolt goes but its only a small alternator with a V belt
