Must be one hell of a toothbrush to get rid of a charcoal canister

Theres no sound in your video! It might be because its a fresh upload though .

Yeah I'm mainly trying to clean up the more visible areas where it isn't that dirty, but I'd like to get rid of as much as I can down low too. I'll post up some pics when I'm done. Cheers for all the tips!

We needa hear it!

Awesome, I'll give simple green a try. Where is the best place to get it?

I'm after something that you would basically coat the engine with (even the more delicate areas if possible), leave it for a short time then hose off. I've seen a product called 'Gunk' which is a foaming degreaser type thing that you can coat everything with. It looks ideal but its only in the State...

Yeah I had Falkens on there

edit: -2 degrees is max isnt it?

The certifier said to me that the only way to really go outside the camber tolerances is if the car's tires had a flat contact patch. In hindsight it doesn't really make sense because more camber=less contact. With 195/45 stretched on an 8" you aren't going to achieve that anyway. Heres what mine lo...

Front camber adjustment isn't an issue I don't think, only the rear. 290mm with 195/45/r15's is the lowest that the cert guy could get my car to get it within tolerance. If you have fatter tires, you might be able to get away with slightly more camber as long as you have a good contact patch between...

May I ask roughly how much you have spent in total?

Ohhh shiiit. Checking them will be the first thing I do when I get back home

Spruce Green Mica is amazing. Its crazy that Toyota puts a paint like that on RAV4's and Camrys.

for starters, I don't think that light is required for a warrant. Sorry man I'll have to correct you on that one. I got pinged for having mine too dim (had a small leftover LED bulb in there with the same base, but didn't give out 360 degree light) when taking it through VTNZ. Then again, it was VT...

Looking great man. I've been watching your project thread on the oldschool forums. Will be mean to see it running!

Yeah man. All easy jobs, and good to know that those things are up to date.

Check o2 sensor, air filter, plugs/leads. Check the condition of the oil too. A lot of people (including myself) have had mileage problems when they first bought their NA. Its an old car and it may be behind on maintenance. I started off getting shit km's out of a tank, but after doing all those thi...

Hey now...The Fast and the Furious is nothing short of a masterpiece. It deserves a little respect.

Rear bumper cut outs look awesome. I'm keen to do one but I think I'll try on a second bumper before I have a hack at mine.

You'll blow the welds on your intake, kid.

Granny shifting...not double clutching like you should.

Funny that. Yelling and swearing is a fundamental aspect of my workplace .

Agreed. Chrome, shiny tail lights are no bueno.

Ah so thats how you'd do the oil gauge. I figured out how to do the rest at the time. Cheers for the link..when I can be arsed taking the face off I'll set it correctly haha.

I did remove the needle at one point but I'm like 90% sure I put it back in the right spot. Maybe I didn't.
