You need MX62 LCA's, extra 15mm track each side and sik camberzz

Amyway, tomorrow should be productive, provided I can find this bloody short
Got defected 'coz the trailer plug I hadn't got around to throwing out broke and started dragging on the ground, so I cut it off and cleared it
Went to start it to drive away from the cop shop and the battery was flat, I was like WTF???????
Got my mate to come down and jump start me, went back to his to try and figure out what was wrong. Thought it was probably the wires on the cut off end of the trailer plug wiring shorting on the bumper every time I hit the brakes or blinkers. So we removed the plug wiring completely, charged the battery for a bit and it started fine. Drove it home, turned it off and went inside.
Came out half an hour later and the fucking battery was fucking flat yet again
It's not the battery, that's new, and the alternator is charging it fine. It's just when I let it sit for a while that it does it. Nothing's been left on, it's just going flat of it's own accord.
Be fucked if I can figure it out, might have to ring my cousin the auto sparky and see what he says

Found it, Or at least I hope I have.
It was the "door" switch for the interior light shorting and drawing constant current, turned that off and it's apples for now. We'll see in the morning

Nahh man I put my gh struts and steering arms into the gn and its increased the track already because the steering arms are centred on the balljoint and the standard gn ones sit further in

these some POS country like taiwan or something where if you put a aftermarket exhaust on that isnt pre-approved by the transport department you can go to jail for it. the RWC inspections are probably about as strict as NSW etc and they get shitty about having the headlights perfectlight set etc but appart from that defects are uncommon and are often used as a fine for drifting.

[spiderman]

Good to know, cheers dude

Anyways, turns out it wasn't just that dodgy interior light switch, the alternator only charges 60% of the time and even when it is charging it's not doing it well. Fuck I'm beginning to get pissed at this car, if it's not one thing it's another, or another, or another
I've also got a leaking brake master cyl, but only on the rear circuit. I had to top it up 7 times on the ~400km round trip to Gilgandra and back I made on Monday night. I also had to drive the whole thing on low beam, as the alternator doesn't like supplying enough power to run wipers, high beams and the engine at the same time
Ah well, I have another alternator here so I'll swap it for the one on the car and see how I go
I also discovered that the starter solenoid cap (ie the black plastic bit that all the wires attach to) is loose, not sure if it's a problem or not but I may as well swap it for the Magna starter I happen to have in the shed while I'm at it
Front will be lower today, by maybe 2 1/2 coils. I might take a coil out of the rears yet too, it depends on how it sits once the front is done

Aaron, you were right. This car has aids. It's fucking cursed, if it's not one fairly serious problem it's another
First the HG went, then 5 days after that was fixed the alternator died, and now three days after I fixed that i'm getting the feeling one of my brand new timing chain guides has broken because it sounds like my brand new timing chain is rattling like a slut
Fuck I'm starting to hate this thing
Although, it's got a rattly lifter at idle so it COULD be that getting worse at higher revs. Problem with that is, it sounds like detonation, but it shouldn't be as it's only got 8:1 static comp, runs fine (normally) on 91 and normally doesn't rattle like a slut.

[spiderman]

Get my first dole cheque in 4 months on Monday, I'll probably blow it on secondhand Commodore Konis and an eBay-special Starion clutch
Gotta get throwout and spigot bearings and a clutch cable as well, thank fuck Dad has an account at the parts shop. Make him pay for it

[spiderman]

That fucking annoying rattle now moves from 2-3k to 2.5-4k and 1.75-2.5k rpm all the time, not sure what it is, I'm just about ready to burn this POS.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Buy my wagon and do soem skids already man! its all setup and has 10 months rego what else can you ask for!
