just apply a bit too much acceleration on some wet grass and find out for yourself. That's not really a good way to find out , as most cars with IRS have a tendancy to spin both wheels if there is little traction on both wheels.

Bartley's hill is in albion . It's a well hidden lookout (not well known in Brisbane , so it's never busy) . Just off kingsford smith drv. Easy access and fair for all in Brisbane as it's central.

Bartley's hill is another good spot. Reasonably central too.

Mclean's bridge is just north of Jimboomba. Might be a bit far for some. Maybe somewhere more central to Brisbane might be better. Mt Cootha or Mt Gravatt or something like that.

Mine was that bad that oil squirted out from under the oil cap (new oil cap too) , and under the 2 grommets holding the tappet cover. 1 : Put a spring on the dipstick to keep it in place. 2 : Remove the hose going from the charcoal caniste...

A cracked exhaust manifold will also cause this sound.
