    Yeah that looks fine, i can't imagine being pulled over and officer blog decides to inspect your stickers and rim size. It's not like your driving a VL slapped on it guts with 20" chrome rims. I think you'll be fine, i have a high res, flat scan if you want one - with dimensions.

    Hey Todd i bought mine from Jaymic and it wasn't that expensive, the only sticker i couldn't get was the tyre pressure one which has "Australia" printed on it. They told me they would try to get it printed up next time they got some done. Cost me under AU$25 for the lot.

    Cheers, but all i needed to do was pull one cable through the holding points more than the other and that seemed to work, it meant that one is straight before the holding point, and the other is bowed due to the extra length.

    Insulation doesn't weigh much, and it's not something you'll want to do later with carpet and seats in.

    got a part number? I need some of those as well, but might not make the Swap Meet though...

    I'm pretty sure you still need spacers due to difference in diff width, like i mentioned it will visually look right but there is a reason why the cv's are able to slide around an inch or so.

    whiteline, up front and back, their listed on the site, i think about 260 for both including all the needed bits, the place was near the airport, they even posted the stuff out.

    there is a thread a few above this one on the same topic, have a read of that.

    works for me. Did the opposite: 02 half shafts with e21 cv's on the inside and spacers on the outside with the according bolts. Unlesss you have the e21 79 half shafts you need spacers, because without spacers it will work but the slack is taken up which is needed for when the wheel travels up and down. Dave at Ardvarc sold me mine, $55 i think, he's very knowledgable on the topic. best i got

    Very clean. Dry ice?

    Finished the rear sub this week, pretty satisfying, a little dusty though. Upgraded parts include: Urethane all round, LSD 3.91, 22mm swaybars, sub mount inserts and end links. Thicker 10mm bolts and rubber for the end links. I've found that on two of the three 02's i've worked on, these have either bent or even broken in one case. With the added stress from the urethane, i figured that the bolts might need bulking up.

    After being at the painters since January, this is all that has happened. A little frustrating given how much effort I'm putting into to the project. Going to have words some time this week to try and sort it out. Basically the bonnet and boot have been taken back to metal and the rest of the car has become a duster.

    Well, as usual, it never stops, the painting that is. I was going to leave it but i what the hell.

    How many people have good photos of other peoples cars?? I know i don't have photos of my mates cars. But more importantly there needs to be more incentive, like the car spends the month of the front page, that would look sweet.

    Yeah righto. I just couldn't visualize how the spring would become so compressed. But it does make sense, they wont be fitted properly for some time (car isn't back from the painters yet). Thanks for your help, i think you might have saved a bit of grief. Cheers

    I bought these (installed cable) from W&N a little while ago, and they don't seem to add up. It appears that the spring at the brake end is too long - they go another good inch out the hole to the right of picture to the back of the plates. Anyone know whats up? It'll be a hassle to return them so i though i'd just cut the springs to the right length. Cheers.

    Surely someone else has their 2 cents to add?? I'd appreciate anything. Cheers

    Hot dang thats a good looking heater top, and spray can cap to match?? The cable is as far out as posible on the lever control part. I thought maybe the RHD versions are positioned differently to LHD considering the controls would be in different spots. According to my dashboard, my heat is on when the lever is to the left, but this could simply mean the controls are flipped, not sure though. thanks for the pic

    I need help and/or pictures of a later valve at the fully open position and closed position with the cable attached to the valve's arm, please. I have looked through ALL the previous threads (including the FAQ) and don't seem to have enough information. My problem is that i took everything apart and lost all my before shots on my camera. My cables seem short but came from a functioning heater, they only allow a very small amount of travel (for the valve arm) at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (And i don't have an arrow but it is around the right way) Also it's a RHD car if you think that makes any difference cable is fully out, fresh air flap closed, lever fully across to the right. cable half way, valve half way, lever half way. this is how i would like valve to work but the cable seems to be short, although its not. Top=open, bottom=closed

    second that, it's ridiculous.

    Got a few things done recently: had to change the new rod to the old one peddle box idler arm has been refurbed but seems to leak from the gasket, need to investigate this. heater was a tough job. looking good just waiting on some of those funky grommets you can't buy from anyone except BM. had this like it is, just waiting on some parts almost no pitting on the worm and this part (no thats not pitting you can see just muck), which is good news for the re-build. I actually saw a new steering box at the dealership packaged up this week, looked sweet, $$$

    Say it isn't so. I got a new set of locks for my car the other week and went to fit them today but noticed that the new lock doesn't seem to work the same as the old one. Is this standard practice, or will the new one not work properly. There both in the lock position in terms of the key. I can fit it to the pole that the steering lock attaches to, but can't really test it much more than that as my car is still in a million pieces. Cheers Old lock New lock

    I'm rebuilding the steering box and need to replace the worm gear bearing/cage but have no idea on how to remove it. I've heard the steering box is different from LHD to RHD, i'll add a pic tonight to clarify. Any thoughts? Cheers
