Really? I intended to install a sticker with an LSD attached to it...

Hey Taza, when you do get the locker done, you'll have to get some tickers made to go with. :)

Hey tambox, are you talking something like this?

Is the hole that the existing breather sits in threaded, or is it just about the right size?

Well, it certainly looks like it would go fast....

Put some goggles on, then spin it up with an air nozzle on a compressor. If it explodes and throws razor sharp shards in al directions it probably isn't safe for your car. ;)

I did the timing belts with the motor in, and would recommend removing it (I'd f you have access to engine stands and the like.

I've got an old water extinguisher I've been thinking of using as an air tank for a while. It already has a "tyre valve" at the head so filling is easy...

Looks good, I eagerly await your results.

My sole experience with removing a gearbox involved pretty much what Guy said, plus lots of beer and swearing.

Ohhhh, a rear bar which doubles as a pressure vessel. I'll add that to my endless list!

I do like the way you've done the fitting though, whatever it's attached to.

Can you get personalized Plates on trailers? I ask because there is a weird thing with ACT where different vehicle types can actually have the same plate. A friend has the same plate on his bike and ute. Long story short, would be cool if you could have the same plate on it and he car. PS, looks awe...

Duty of care to a random unknown future user of your vehicle is something we should all be away of. But I think this probably comes under the heading of know what you are doing and try not to break the law too much. But then I [a] have been drinking, and have qualified friends I get to do the dodgy ...

Probably coz 75% of us cant fit the spare in there anyway. 10% have catch cans, intercoolers or second batteries in that location. And 10% are too lazy to care and probably didnt read your post. That leaves you in the 5% minority category. Does it even fit upside down? Im pretty sure I tried this b...
