Indeed :) http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=0353

Less for on-boost knock, more for low load knock diagnosis eg clipping it to heat shields and so on :)

The Lib is at Shockworks... WOOOOT
It was awesome putting the PROVA Enkei RS+M's and Pirellis back on and fanging up the mountain to deliver the car, I'd forgotten the amazing look of the rims and the grip of the tyres...

WL front and rear adjustable sways and links are for sale, and the BC's should be re-refurbed with inspection, cleaning and new front top bearings and thicker camber plates, ready for sale later this week.

Good things take tiiiiime :P

I've hopefully secured my set of shock works, hearing your car is there for the wagon revision makes me very happy indeed :D
All the best with it Benny :good: Look forward to hearing the results and your thoughts over the BC's.
Oh and I do love your wagon with the RS+m's!
mod -> tune -> drive -> get bored -> repeat...

Its done... but I left it in the boot... the Lib will be back this Friday.

I haven't used it yet as my LV's sorted themselves out apparently. :?:
Plus since I'm mostly stock, rather lazy, and its not possible to attach it to the block adjacent the stock knock sensor without removing the TMIC.

More than welcome to borrow it, or do a test session. Or look on eBay for "Hearing Aid Listen Up Personal Sound"

Mine cost about $15, iirc.

Brett and Chris from Shockworks were somewhat impressed with my car.
First impression from Brett: "it looks very sporty!".
About the BC V1's: "Not that bad really... But obviously some room for improvement." That's the benefit of getting any suspension properly setup, in that instance initially by Ralph at TruTrack then Ringwood Pedders...
Then after fitting the shocks and test driving: "it's very smooth, the power delivery, especially": that's thanks to Matts 15psi drivability tune and the 3" tbe with quiet stock mod muffs.
They did notice the clutch is on its way out, original at 210k...
They loved the package with practicality of a wagon, plus the general sportiness, so much so they're considering buying one :)

Lol I'd be a bit disappointed if otherwise :P
I'd like to think my Lib is a product of the collective best this forum has to offer.
And that's a lot of experience and knowledge from a lot of good people: you know who you are! :good:

Happy times indeed!
