was meant to do full service last sunday but my back has been playing up the last few days, so i just did a few small jobs which were meant to part of the lot. like changed my squeaky belt tensioner (have changed the bearing on the old one but did nothing), changed serpentine belt and AC belt. fixed some of the cabin rattles, changed all my wipers, cleaned cyclonic breather and turned back the low boost fuel screw on the IP by one full turn. while back i cranked it to two full turns and although it wasnt smoking too badly, on idle it smelled a bit and was also wondering whether it had something to do with my start-up revs being low and knocking sound. cut a long story short, knocking sound still there, revs are still irregular at start up BUT the car is running a lot smoother. when i drive slowly it doesnt jump and shudder as much and it is much smoother. the power difference is not noticeable. funny thing though is if it had too much fuel going in would have thought you would have seen it come out as smoke. anyway i like it how it is. only thing that happened is that my oil pressure alarm on the madman keeps going off telling my i have pressures of up to 90psi. i have had this happen in the past where the pressure gauge kept jumping up when powering up the gears, after a very long drive it went away, so i think it was due to some blockage on the pressure gauge, as the car was running fine and no symptoms other than the alarm going off. i think this time she is just reminding me not to let the full service go and give her new oil and filter etc. going to clean my IC too and fuel filter change and sedimenter clean out, do the valve clearances and pull the EGR blanking plate where my EGT is, just to see if there is any sort of blockage on exhaust. my EGT seems higher than usual since a few months and i swear the boost builds up quicker.

Finally Finished my fold down table.just had to buy a latch and weld it on turned out pretty good. Aluminum door card then stainless benchtop.

Pur it on a tilt tray at 3am. On the way to Brisbane airport, blew a radiator hose! Missus was with me, so she's escorted Slo-Mo home. Have to wait until Monday when I get home to check out the damage.

That looks great! I have been wanting to do the same for ages, but i cant seem to find anywhere that sells Aluminium!
Even the local Midalia Steel closed up a few weeks ago

One of the guys off this forum in Perth did mine. Works a treat. Send 'Shakey' a PM to see if he is still doing them.

Been working on my rear draws too
