ask him yourself Todd, i get abused for a simple "can i take a photo of the fridge"

by **Malakai** » July 4th, 2009, 12:57 am

Another lokka in the house.. Good stuff!

I too think the car would be a completely different animal with a manual in it.

car looks like a paint by numbers after skidpan last night, last pic the bit where the lip joins the bar, added some scuff marks by flattening one of the cones, i'm hoping that shit will polish off

by **e series falcon** » July 4th, 2009, 1:56 pm

by **[Sterling]** » July 4th, 2009, 3:44 pm

)
Car is fair dirty get that shit cleaned asap

by **Fairmont888** » July 4th, 2009, 3:47 pm

new question.... Manual or keep it auto??

by **67rce** » July 4th, 2009, 4:07 pm

keep it Auto, good luck finding a manual conversion for the Sprint

by **Fairmont888** » July 4th, 2009, 4:13 pm

btw forgot to mention... big thanks to rollin and NUT347 for performing panside repairs on the tincan :drinks2:

by **EBOOST** » July 4th, 2009, 4:40 pm

id go manual but i love manuals so thats me.
but diffenitely keep the auto so if u wanna sell it u can sell it as a genuine.
but as 67rce said it is hard to find a manual conversion for a v8.
cheers josh.

by **FOR.0EL** » July 4th, 2009, 10:09 pm

Manual.

do it.

by **Fairmont888** » July 12th, 2009, 8:07 pm

so i decided to take NUT347's advice and get off my ass and change the leads on this thing yesterday, decided to give it some new oil and new filter as well, as i have no idea when it was last changed. the leads that came off looked pretty old so i have no idea how long it's been since they were changed either

new leads

old leads looking a little used

and just for laughs, FOR.0EL's fishing trip after he dropped the sump plug into the old oil

thanks to Nathan (FOR.0EL) for helping out, made it alot less boring :drinks2:

and excuse the blurry pics

by **travs ea-xr6** » July 12th, 2009, 8:11 pm

them leads look a little used

by **FOR.0EL** » July 12th, 2009, 8:12 pm

yeah shutup

i should have made you go fishing for it!

by **NUT347** » July 15th, 2009, 8:52 am

Hey dude.

Good thing you replaced those leads man, they were fucked!!

Id say leave it auto, with 3.9s or 4.11s, 3000rpm stall.... and a blower :-P

Very nice car man!

by **Fairmont888** » July 22nd, 2009, 6:25 pm

finally a slight update, after 2 and a half weeks of waiting, this was waiting for me on my desk at work

next problem is i'm currently a bit low on money until payday, and i'm also trying to sort out a few other changes

but i'll keep them under my hat for now

by **Rollin** » July 22nd, 2009, 8:29 pm

No turbos, no care.

by **Bipolar** » July 23rd, 2009, 2:58 pm

by **EdXr666** » July 27th, 2009, 7:52 pm

ok cool that gives me an some sort of idea

by **Fairmont888** » August 2nd, 2009, 1:22 am

basically an update i never wanted to have to make

was leaving a Hungry Jacks Carpark, a bitch in an overloaded kia (people in the boot meaning she couldn't see out the rear window) reversed straight back into me as i was driving out. pissed off doesn't quite cover how i was feeling, i'm pretty sure the 17 year old kids or whatever in the boot thought i was going to kill them all, and had a guy been driving the kia, i would have redecorated the piece of shit with his face

by **LUXO_8** » August 2nd, 2009, 1:25 am

fvcking morons...... :banghead:

by **Malakai** » August 2nd, 2009, 7:21 am

Why don't people pay attention in car parks? The amount of times I have had to blast my horn or yell at someone that is about to hit my car. Idiots!

by **Fairmont888** » August 2nd, 2009, 10:22 am

had a bit of a look just then in daylight, i'm lucky in the fact that its completely missed the front door, the sill has a very slight dent in it, but the rear door is pushed up and misaligned with the roof now, still opens and closes properly, just sits too high.

the $1500 excess on my car isn't going to help my wallet either

by **LUXO_8** » August 2nd, 2009, 10:33 am

You get all their details and any witnesses to the car being overloaded etc?? You shouldn't have to pay a cent for their stupidity

by **Fairmont888** » August 2nd, 2009, 10:37 am

i've got 2 witnesses that were in my car with me, was just so pissed off i grabbed her name and wrote down her rego, spoke to the cops they said just give the insurance company the rego and they will chase it up. if they don't i will go through other methods of tracking her down, she is supposedly going to ring me today.

by **holmsy** » August 2nd, 2009, 2:27 pm

well then your excess shouldnt be a problem to you.
sucks man.
