It does feel more responsive though. I shall gap my spark plugs today also :raspberry:

Thats great to hear taza (or as you would say not to hear :lol:)
It will be interesting to see how she performs once you've fixed the gap issue with your spark plugs :)

For reference, I timed mine from 80 to 100 km/h in 5th HR on the Frankston freeway this morning. Took around 8 seconds.

Also tried out the handling at some large roundabouts and on the freeway at 36 F/ 35 R. Seems to be much better at both, with very much improved directional stability both on the freeway and on the couple of very large roundabouts (previously 31 F/ 30 R). None of the vagueness and wandering, even with a bit of a crosswind on the freeway at 100 km/h.

I will try out your suggested pressures later, Mr T. A "doctor" day today ...
 
I couldn't be bothered putting my American 1" nylon front strut lifts in and needed a wheel alignment so I figured I'd get the guys at Ayres Tyres in Belmont to do it, he took the front struts out & fitted the lifts, removed the 60mm blocks from the rear trailing arms as the wheels were a bit far back after extending them by an inch and did a 4 wheel wheel alignment all for $120, gotta say fantastic service and great price.......car feels that bit higher at the front and drives perfect. They do pretty good prices on tyres too.

that price is amazing to me... I thought you'd pay $120 for the wheel alignment alone

oh and stage 2 of the stereo install.... 12" sub in the back almost, just need to run a cable from the battery to the amp and fix the box in such a way it doesn't slide around but is easy to remove as I'm making it so I can easily unclip all cables from amp/sub box if I need room in the back.
any suggestions?
 
^^^^ They worked on the car for close to two hours so I'm over the moon, it's the same every time I go there, laser wheel aligner the works........You'd expect a bit of string for $35 for an alignment.

Just tested this from SWMBO's PC, and you are indeed correct ... :rotfl:.

Once I logged in the piccy was there, however.
A bit strange.
Checked my album permissions, and they allow public viewing.

I ordered myself a pair of these :cool:
..American of course! Not bad for only $8 w/ shipping out of a place in Georgia.

Thats about the same as what I paid :)
I got mine for $5 while I was out shopping for something else in the same store :)

i tried it today- not very sophisticated timing though. About 5- 6 seconds I reckon in 5th. Will try it in 3rd and see what the difference is. I'd love to be able to time it properly though.

Most of the bigger shops that sell auto accessories should have them :iconwink:
