today i replaced the upper trailer arm bushes, fairly straight forward..
the old nolathane bushes were pretty flogged, the steel sleeve was as loose as a kings cross prostitute.lol.

i used the same method as i did on the watts link..
all went well untill it started raining, nothing worse than laying on wet gravel while raining...never the less i wasnt going to let the rain stop me, all done and fitted..

i went out to dazfab today to redo the hot side intercooler piping, reduced it from 3" to 2.5", not a huge result but a quit noticable responce in spool time..
so it did make a difference...

I have a few boxcar parts round. let me know if you want a rad support. I have one on hand that just needs to be cut out. other stuff is there, but not much of what you listed as damaged.

s**t news though. but good to hear your ok. I know what your feeling. Interested to see who get the blame, similar to my last bender. Cops and insurer found the person who cut me off at fault. So, its not all bad news, just a messy situation that does not need to happen.

Wasn't a mazda 3 was it?

s**t Troy, that's not good. It on wasn't old windsor rd was it? The road surface there is terrible. On average there is about 5 accidents outside my house every time it rains.

no the other car wasnt even interested in stoping, a tongan guy got out had a quick look, jumped back in the car and they drove off like they just hit a pothole or something.
i went after them and pulled up next to them, i said dont you want to stop??
they said no its ok and drove off.. :?
they were in a 2006 toyota celica.. probably more damage to mine, but would cost more to fix theirs..
i drove it home ok everything is still operational just damaged.. except the radiator core has a pin hole from the thermo fans...
