MY power steering setup

I recently gave away a MY aircon pulley and clutch to a mate right before mine started making loud noises.

I used to be a bit of a nerd and collected stamps - new ones, gutters, blocks, sheets etc, then discovered that Aus Post were making a buck out of printing stamps , a fee for service, and not having to provide that service because we stash away for growth. A few years ago when market fell out of many stamp stuff , discovered auction houses selling for about half face value for business to save on postage.

Started using my own collection with special ones put out of the way, until Saturday when I picked out a coupla 60 cents jobbies. Sickening feeling as I think I realised they may have been the misprints - sperm whale appearing on behalf of the hump back - rings a bell. They were going to be my retirement fund. GULP !!

That's why you should always LOOK before you LICK !

Come on down.. the weather is beautiful today

I wondered what that smell was.. I thought it was the black silicone holding the lid on

And yes I do sir have a piccy of the "lunch".. I just thought I tease you a little

Looking good. I can see it coming together now.
The weather here (Friday) is windy cold grey sky and looks as if it will tip it down at any moment!

Yes.. it's all falling into place.. Thanks Jonno

Hey Giles.. Just a quick snap of today's weather

1111giles · Post by **1111giles** » Sat Oct 30, 2010 1:28 am

Just trying like mad to re-arrange my Thailand visit so I can 'pop down' and share some of that glorious weather !

Alas......no chance!

Hey ho - maybe some othertime:)

That was quicker than my parcel from WA this time last year and it was *cough Overnight Express Post. Looks like a good ad for old registered Aussie Post as well. Sort of expected a surgical removal but looks like lid came off with a crowbar then

Hey Guy's
Jonno has asked me to upload this image of his pet bird - Bernie Lilfudd. Apparently Bernie has helped Jonno in the task of shredding foam from a old seat for the purpose of packaging up the extended thermostat housing (shown a few posts further back on this thread)

Hats off to this little fella - he's a bird that gets my vote !

Sorry Giles.. more than a week and no update

but this should get you excited

Look what arrived from Japan

Now all we need is that rack to put them on

Looking good - should be a top install when it all comes together! Cant wait!:D

See the Subaru labels there, going genuine is dedication and an indication that they do not sell many here due to after market stuff they have to come from the motherland.
Giles, it may be time to suit up your daughter in overalls to get her involved - seeing as though this one is for her

(you say)

:rolleyes: Hard enough getting her to clean out the Guinea pigs let alone swing the spanners

nah - this will be down to me i am afraid, my girls seem to think that proper work type jobs get done and finished all by themselves:(

RSR 555 · Post by **RSR 555** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 5:42 pm

Jonno - Yeah.. Genuine only

which probably had something to do with not available aftermarket

can find plenty of non powersteer and L.Series ones but

Giles - I'm lucky I guess.. My daughter loves to change out interiors in cars.. may had something to do with her ( aged 8 ) wanting to help Dad in the shed

Don't get me wrong Eleanor will help when it suits her to do so - or she's trying to keep out of her mums way or somthing !:)
Typical 12yo going on 18yo hehehe!
Cant hold her back when we are out on the bike though loves hopping on for a backie!:D
