Hi Slunnie

NSW. I.ve just spent the day driving around locking up brakes & corning excessively hard whilst being watched by the engineer & then examining skid marks. Everything turned out okay & then at the end of it all he said he wanted to check the height of standard bars because the car might ...

Yes I did one for a client last year, straight forward fit except you have to modify the alternator braket slightly to swing the alt closer to the engine. I used the lexus transmission & mated it to the LT230. Goes quite well but unless you were going to run twin turbos or something extra ...

Just a couple of examples I found when I did a body lift on my car. I ended up modifying the arb bar like the orange RR( second link). If you need any info PM me, the bar is easy to do.

It,s a vacuum canister which is usually moved near the coil when fitting a second battery. The power steering reservoir is usually moved to the other side of the battery tray. This is one way of doing it.

Had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Looking for a cheap alternative I went with Pedders. Within 5 minutes of hitting the track at Wederburn had to turn around and come home after both left and right bushes had shredded. It was a lovely day out & a even better trip home at 40kph ( haha ...

bleeding brakes

Cable Jockey is right, there is a total of six bleed nipples on the front of earlier rangies but you can't bleed them all seperately and expect a perfect pedal.

Yet more idle problems
