    Body not aligned on chassis

    Aye, I could not Upload pics for some reason showing the problem areas. The Shocks and Springs are 10 months old.

    Body not aligned on chassis

    I have this posted in an older post and decided that maybe it's better I make a new thread for this one ;-) After taking a closer look at the body and chassis I noticed that one side is higher than the other side. About 2cms off. I measured from rear wheel arch to center of rim (axle) and it...

    Battery dies after 3-4 weeks

    Hi guys, Thanks for the replies thus far. The Multimeters and Load Testers are fine since I had the car checked at two different car electricians on different several occasions including my own test at home. :confused: The amount of current used while the car is locked ('security ECU' is in...

    Is it a Drug, a Virus or is it Love?

    Mr Noisy, you da man :D btw, do the ARBs change the ratios at all? On another note :( I have this dang clanging noise when changing gears and there is some slop in the drive line when going from reverse to first and vice versa. I imagine it is the U joints??? What else can be the culprits guys...
