yeah i'll post em up for you, email is sykokid5@hotmail.com <<< also my msn if you just want to transfer them to me directly...
Btw, that's my new sequential roflol

also, can anyone tell me how to get a display pic through MX6.com I CANT FIND IT in the options and it's [shizzle]ting me roflol

gah, edit 2: MTP why dont you just take it through regency yourself??? or do they keep knocking you back? if so just get your man (or whoever) them to do it, when my MK2 Escort (perfect cond too unrestored) got defected for (ya gotta laugh) a worn fan belt, i took it to the cop shop to get it off the defect and they told me to go to regency for a full road worthy, it got knocked back, my old man took it down a week later and we had done NOTHING to it, and it passed... [fizzle]ing cops are gay!

**fetelstarTX5** · 10-5-07, 4:56

Pretty sure you cant sell a car with a defect on it, rego transfer wont go through. The original owner/representitive has to get the defect taken off.

**Selva** · 10-5-07, 5:41

yes you're right fetelstarTX5 but, that's why you take it through regency before trying to change the name over ;P my old man has an MA61 supra defected but he's lazy and cbf fixing it.... but then again, he's fixing his new XR6 ute to take through first :P

MTP_X6 · 10-6-07, 2:30

I would take it to regency myself but I work monday to saturday full time

I have rung regency and so long as the buyer knows its defected and we both write it down on the disposal notice it can be done.

The police tell u that you can't sell it but they can't tell what a BOV is so I have no competence in SA police whatsoever. I rung regency who have confirmed that it can be sold.

thanks selva.. i will get pics to u ASAP

whats this bout my man? Im a guy!!

my email is redmix.b@gmail.com
just for a look

Now!
today i replaced my brake pads all around
i had 1.5mm left on the rear ones!!

left and right cv joint -
bitch of a job to do, first of all the left hand side was rooted it took 2 hours to try and get it out the gearbox (dam auto) we ended up having to drop the cross member (im also up for new engine mounts now) i got whole drive shafts so new they looked heaps good they cost me $147 from a place on south road.

I also did the disks on the front left and right.
Easiest of the jobs thats for sure!

I had heaps of air in my brake lines tho, so i had to bleed the brakes.

price info:

CV Drivechafts (full cv) left and right : $147.00
Brake Pads Front: $46 DBA Repco
Rear: The Same
Front Disks:$55p/r DBA Autopro
Rear Disks: $75p/r DBA Repco

I'm pretty sure thats how it worked out.

Photos:

All i need now is new headers, wheel alignment, engine mounts, muffler on and paint my front bumper and I should be good

and i believe Selva has a new motor ;D

how did it go man?

**Selva** · 10-6-07, 11:04

oooooo pretty... it's been a good day actually, had heaps of fun doing the motor, i would have it finished but i kinda didn't get out of bed till about 11 and didn't get to my mate to do it untill about 1230, all i have to do is put the driveshafts back in (good fun aye redmx

) and do the water plumming... couldn't believe i actually worked untill i couldn't see what i was doing, out in the sticks there is no light i tells ya!!! im gonna rego my car this payday, as i dont want to go further in debt with my dad... $400 is enough to feel broke.... i have the pics of MTP's car when it was in it's hey day, but im waiting for the "as is" pics and i'll post them as i think that's what should be posted, man i wish i had the money for that thing though, it look HOT.... but yeah... pics of my car in one piece tomorrow i guess...

P.S. redmx, you forgot to add "manuel conversion" on your to do list :P

MTP_X6 · 10-7-07, 10:29

**Redmx_tx5** · 10-8-07, 9:34

**Selva** · 10-8-07, 11:49
