    Just gave scarlet a wash today, used my karcher pressure washer and the solution that cam ewith it. Wiped it off with a chamios. Looks sweet. Cleaned the bovistas with a rag, the look so sweet with a clean car Vacuumed the interior also.

    In other news found 2 stone chips in the bonnet. I bet it was the douche bag in the commodore that flicked up a stone the first day I had her!!!!

    Need to put something on it.

    Speaking of stone chips etc, a few weeks back in Sydney we had some pretty serious rain...well i was just about to leave when our garbage truck came to pick up the bins....

    Long story short, dropped the bin the bin rolled down, hit the car and had quite a verbal stoush with the driver he decided to drive off quite...fast lol.


    So at the end of all of this my car finally got the payout approved from "said" garbage company in order to repair my car to a new finish.

    Goes in this week with 10 microns of CC being put on top (note to self even if in a hurry never park on the road...park in the garage)

    picked up whiteline RSB today and just installed it. car seems a bit creaky on the bumpy roads. are you meant to use all of the grease? i only used like half. also how far apart should you space the brackets? like as far apart as possible until the bar bends down?

    Yeah, you have to be liberal with the grease, polyurethane bushes are squeaky as hell without it. If you're within around 80-100mm from the bends you will be fine

    just applied all the grease and went for a drive again still quite noisy :/ like all the grease kinda squeezes out when you tighten the bush. could the noise be because iv tightened the bushes too much?

    Washed, clayed and Nanolexed my car this weekend... Looks sharp! Beads nicely, too.

    Thanks to Car Care Products - particularly Pierre who had to endure all my e-mails - the products arrived the NEXT DAY!

    Done on August 13... let's see how long the Nanolex lasts...

    Nope, I can't see anything untoward in your install.. Oh wait, yes I can. The back of your D bushes are resting on the torsion beam, there should be another plate there, I'll run outside and grab a photo of mine for you....
