Thrust bearing shit itself today, couldn't engage gear.
Clutch pedal thumping when pressed.
Got the forester and a car trailer and took it down to my mechanics.
Was a bit much for the forester to tow but made it in the end.
They said its a engine in job which is a relief. Ae95r corolla wagons are a motor out job, more often then not the labour charge costs more then the car and they get wrecked.
Got my clutch kit for $100, mate works at a parts supplier.
Its a 99 forester gt, auto and on liberty bilstein suspension. It did well, glad I fitted bigger calipers and rotors a while ago.
Just struggled up hill from a standstill. Could smell the auto box getting warm lol.
Xt foz with the 2.5l and manual would be better but its my wifes car anyway.
This is it, comp finishes tonight at 12am.
Just wanted to thank everyone that checked out the build thread and helped out with the view count. The show of support for this unique ef wagon has been overwhelming.
Hopefully we win. The suspension company doing the coilovers hasn't tuned the ef chassis before so if we win they will take the wagon and specifically make/tune a setup for the ef wagon, not sure if anybody else does that around the world purposely for that particular model.
Either way, much appreciation and such amaze
I'll update this when the comp finishes, we are in the lead but anything can happen
Cheers
Geoff
Good news, I won the comp
More low coming, many thanks to people that checked the thread.
Pretty cool as these will be the first ef wagon specific coilovers in the world.
More info to come.
I have the same make of coilovers in my ae86 and they are amazeballs.
Excited
well funny story, i won by 31,918 views.
in actual fact i would have only won by about 6 thousand views but the guy that was coming in second place had a dummy spit because i was winning and quit the comp on the last day and had his build thread removed at his own request.
little did he know that there was a second place prize, a go pro, which he now cant claim because he deleted his thread.... lol
We've just started up a car of the month type thing at 86dc.
Thought I'd put it up here as there was a few people that showed interest in mine. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/cotm/cotm.php
