I'll PM my address and we'll see where you get to mate, all good. If you can get around that'd be great but considering you are on the tools for work we'd be kind enough to put you on barbecue or drink duty for a change. ;)

Hey Kev,

I'll be able to make it but i might be a bit late - had to reorganise work and couldn't do so until now.

Would you be able to pm or text me your address?

Thanks,

Michael.

I heard that a few beers were drunk on the weekend and some photos were taken of a (now) fully sik car.

I heard a rumour that someone had taken pics of the antics. Rears turned out fine except for the knocking sound on the left - but we sorted that easily enough.
We did fully sik laps of the suburb too.

Hey guys,

Things are good after the shocks/springs/rotor/pads install. I think the improvement in handling the shocks/springs added was negated by all the wheel aligment settings being thrown off. I have since had a wheel aligment and she handles like a dream. Its not a race car on rails but a far improvement on the junk Subaru originally equiped.

And the terrible brake shudder is gone. Great success.

All in all, the car feels and rides brilliantly, much more like a performance sedan than an everyday family sedan.

Thanks heaps for those who helped on the day (you know who you are).

Although there are a few to mention....

http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm84 ... r_0709.jpg - Lucky this was caught at the angle it was, man they went at it hard..

http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm84 ... r_0713.jpg - Man what we say Kev, Stop laying under cars... did you not learn that the first time :P. Although that plastic step, and the buckets held the car for a long time.

Ha ha ha, awesome stuff. Glad it has all come good too Ryan. The after suspension change wheel alignment is amazing. There's only so much a scratch on the camber bolt can do to assist at home.

Was a good day and I was glad to have you all around. As mentioned I'm usually up for helping people out with the 'basic' stuff and it's good to see the garage being used for blokey car stuff.

I tell you what though, I was pretty sore the following day. It's amazing the different muscles that get a workout when you are lying down and doing bolts up etc. Still didn't need the breaker bar too. One bolt nearly got me though. :P
