No probs with mine.
It just sits in the back yard deteriorating :( I'm thinking I'll round up all the bits and pieces and sell it all at a price too good to refuse.

I am to busy fixing mine to be on the internet.
No seriously wish the spring guy was as busy, had my leaves for 13 days and still hasn't touched them for a 3 inch resetting. 13 days! says they might be ready early next week...and I'm paying real money too not a favour, pfffft Cant do the rest of the bushes, ball joints and rack ends till I have the rear springs, then I ned to head to central Vic where my spare ute is to pull its motor as this one has dropped numbers 3 and 4 (140psi vs 210 elsewhere) and vibrates like a pig, then I can attend the damage to the cab 1/4 left by the previous owner and rust to windscreen surround thanks to god I guess. Too busy to be here i'm off JP |

Gee back in the olden days blokes like GasOLane and Co. would have just got 2 blocks of wood cut to the prescribed height and heated the springs till the car dropped to the said block allowed to cool naturally with the occasional brush with recycled sump oil (see we were eco friendly back then ) and back on the road with in 2 hours tops

I'd post about how to fix stuff, but 1. I need to have an AU in my possession (currently at the tuners) to break stuff on it, and 2. I know how to fix pretty much anything in/on it, haha.

My AU is all good but, i'm keeping an eye on my odometer - its getting a little hard to read when driving in daylight, it seems half the readout is brighter than the other half. At night its fine but in daylight meh! Anyone else seen this before? Other than that its going good atm
cheers, Maka

It has been a bit quite on here lately, but they are a pretty good limo, will be looking at doing rear main on mine down the track as I'm starting to get a bit of seapage(not bad it took 12 years to leak), will do walsh plugs at the same just in case.

Yeap mine is purring along, just cosmetic wear and tear stuff to fix up.
Speaking of Terminator..I was thinking how much Id love a T2/T1 with a BOSS302R snug in there with a manual...ohhhh Even the standard coyote (US spec) would be nice. Is it wrong to remove the windsor from such a beast? How much would you need to dump into a Windsor to see 300kw NA?
