Whats your project?

Well they weren;t moving at all, yanking was out.

I want those mega long breaker bars that's like 1.5m in length. Especially with those grease monkeys using the rattle guns, they'll tighten the wheel nuts so much it's not funny. I did break a 17mm socket once trying to take off the wheel nut.

What do u think of Kingchrome?

[ultim8DTM5]

Not too fussed on tools, as long as they get the job done.
I make a mental note that if lugs are on too tight when I'm on the side of the road with a flat, I'm ringing them to take them off for me!!!

BTW my tyre brace sockets are round instead of threaded. Yes, all four.

So I need some new tools.

[SmellyTofu]

Oh yeah.. those pissy tools in the tool kit in the boot are hopeless to undo the nuts unless they have been done by hand. Even standing on the lever won't budge. At least before a long trip, I carry the breaker bar and the 17mm socket.

The jack is a piece of shit! Barina XC one anyway

[SmellyTofu]

Didn't change much since the VB Commodore days.. those one arm jacks are crap.

[ultim8DTM5]

Any recommendations?

[SmellyTofu]

Any scissors jack is better than the one arm variety. At home I'm using those $60 K-Mart jobs.. hasn't leaked yet in the 2-3 yrs I've had them.

ANYWAY

getting back to the topic...


I'm getting some koni shocks in a couple of weeks. and when they come i can also put my SRi springs on which i've had sitting under my bed for a year. so handeling

then after that pay off my debt,.....i'm like nick, on the home stretch.
ocne thats beeen done then i can start to get serious about mods.

order will be.

fix up scratches and get colour coded and paint and install rear HBD apron and reiger front lower lip. aesthetic

new zorst and get larger intake pipe for airbox (Gianni, u know which one i'm talking about) performance

then new 17's. handeling+aesthetic

then maybe upgrade amp and speakers. then finally entertainment.

then i'd probably say thats all i would want to do. i'd be content with all that.

Here's my to do list:

1) I still haven't fitted my fogs and SRi front lip yet. So I gotta do that someday.

2) Colour code the usual trimmings. I'm waiting to bump into a neighbour, who does spray painting at home, so he can gimme a price.

3) Eventually I gotta lower it. It's just too high. It looks like a 4wd.

4) I need a new exhaust. The standard one is full of holes. Plus extractors.

5) Maybe upgrade the speakers.
