Looks too low at the back?

Best/easiest solution - lower the front!

Thanks Jack. is yours painted acrylic or 2 pac ? Reason I ask is acrylic (no clear) is as soft as buggery compared to 2pac and depending on how much dust is on the car the waterless wash can leave scratches.

Cal, mine was originally painted with acrylic, but has since been done with 2-pack. I've ...

G'day Sam and Cal

I use waterless wash almost all the time and reckon it's great... BUT, the car needs to be fairly clean before I use it. For anything other than dust or light 'smearing' on the paintwork, I wash with rain water first, chamois dry then finish off with the waterless.

If you ...

Scott, they're yank products; made to suit 97 stroms which are slightly wider neck than aussie stroms. I got a mate to turn some shim rings out of alloy; they then fitted fine - they use grub screws to fit...

(later I realised I probably could have cut up the Leader of the Opposition's aluminium ...

or if you don't like the look of the aussie speed ones, how about something like these?

(cheaper and better quality than the aussie speed ones)

I get a "bit" carried away when I post, Finny.... won't ever change, I believe the forum understand this.....

p.s. - how'd I do?... shortest one from me for a while, folk.....

I'm disappointed, Rosco..... :ewink:

I emailed this bloke and attached a pic of my car; within an hour he replied. Later the same day, he sent me a pic of the modified artwork; looked almost 100% identical to my car.

He happily changed or deleted the bonnet bird, bonnet letters, guard spears, rear guard badges and even deleted the ...

Harv, I measured one a while back - approx. 605 to 610 mm diameter...

cheers, jack

Thanks, SCOOBB!

Could you please let us know what the shirts are like when they arrive?

Thanks

Anyone got a phone nbr or email address for this bloke? (I'm a technologically challenged old fart who doesn't do the ebay thing... )

cheers, jack

...and will lower the car by about an inch (?). An issue for some could be that they also move the rim out by about 1/2 to 3/4 inch (?) potentially causing tyre clearance problems specially if using lowered springs and wider rims as well. Rim offsets may require some juggling...

someone else may ...

I use it most of the time on my 'pet' car; very happy with the results. HOWEVER, the car MUST be fairly clean to start with. Spray on, wipe clean with microfibre cloth, then polish with a clean microfibre cloth; comes up great (chrome included).
For any real dirt, I wash it with water, dry off with ...

Chasing one of these in good working nick.

Apparently FE/C and FB/EK are all the same; Holden part nbr 4664954 I think...

G'day All...

Anyone know where I can buy a new red motor (202) waterpump with the CAST impellor? Replacement ones with the pressed steel impellor are easy to find (GMB, etc) but I'd rather one with a cast impellor - can't find one though...

cheers, jack
