Yeah it isn't good enough really, they would or should have an obligation to check their cars, at least for major things. Like head gaskets, I mean it doesn't take long to compression test the cylinders.

Although it would take a while to do one on a W12 or something :lol: but I doubt they get too many of those.

Also EFI windors would be annoying to do, crappy plug access n all.. :P

today i put the tail pipe back on the ute, i forgot how much nicer it actually sounds 8-) i gave it a wash and i also put dads new speakers into his navara.

im also going to put some gauges in the ute in a 3 gauge surround i made i already have a air fuel ratio gauge im going to grab a vaccum gauge but unsure on a 3rd one i already have oil pressure and volts i was thinking a digital tacho could be cool?

also on monday i transfer money for a B & M mega shifter i just purchased to suit a 4sp auto :twisted:

need to have a look at the exhaust tail pipe is rubbing against the spare tyre well wich is strange as theres only one way it goes :? also with the picture about that will only be a temporary thing as it looks s**t :P seeing how my fab skills are rather poor i may have to look into getting something made up so it looks better.

looks alot better the 2 oil gauges are there to fill in the holes ill be getting some different ones shortly, also the utes been playing games with me :evil: went to leave a car park today and it wouldnt start it eventually started and splutterd and carried on so i gave it a few decent revs and it seemed ok still taking abit to start tho :roll: i also need to look at the tail pipe as its hitting the tyre well i didnt get around to it today and it may be time to start looking into some brakes mine are quite bad :P
