bit of an update
havent done one in awhile
ok so still have a vibration in the back end at about 100kms
suspect tailshaft
It has new unis innit when did the diff swap over
still something weird there
after getting a quote for 500 bucks to balance a tail shaft
for F&$k sake theres two weight on it, $500 job my ass
i thought fark that
thought try the tailshaft out the spare sig pig
filthy scrag isn't it
thought clean it up and paint red to match the red springs, shocks and shelby swaybar
But then realised it has old unis innit
and would have to be changed
and will fark up the duco chuzz
then found out that if turn it 180 degrees where it bolts on at the back
may fix the problem, havnt tried yet, but if does will paint red too.
im hoping it will fix it
umm
took gear box out spare sig pig
but was an easy job made hard cos car is sitting like this
when we finally got it out
we found even more filthy scrag treasure
took too high pressure car wash still didnt get the filth off
did rest by hand
half day and 4 cans of degreaser looked like this
then found out from the gearbox place didnt need to clean it
hmmmmmmm Sigh. lol
Spare power steering pump had been rebuilt
and ready to go in
a comparison
the dirty one was the one in the car and the one painted black is rebuilt one we got from wreckers
looks like a smaller pump which culd be a problem
but had a better bracket set up
so easy to adjust the belt just like adjusting a fan belt.
but the old bracket was farked had to unbolt the whole bracket to adjust
and couldnt take pump off the bracket with out unbolting from engine first
so thats one plus.
whacked the new hoses, new power steering belt
the rebuilt pump and better bracket for easier adjustment, and
put the missing extra cooling piping back on.
suprised me actually
how quickly and how hot that extra cooling piping for
the power steering, and after all that still not returning
to centre like a hoe.
and recieved modified plenum back on friday
really not happy with it
they had problems welding it
cos what ever magna the wreckers pulled it off
had been sucking oil in for years
and oil has all soaked into the alloy
so is messy and hideous
and now cant take it back that its been modified
so prob have to buy another farking one
and the price of the thing wasnt cheap either
nightmare after nightmare
disapointment after disapointment
but will get there one farking day
