Was a open centre. I only said to John that day that it's been turning both tyres even in 3rd, and it must be on the way out :p. I never dumped the clutch once, and it has oil. I think it just doesn't like spinning the first 3 gears then getting traction suddenly. I'll pull it out next weekend and post pics of the damage.

Been a while since i've updated this. Main reason is i haven't stopped working :(

The diff is now in and i took it a week ago to work just to charge the battery and to chop my mates vy clubby who thinks it's a v8 supercar :roll: Sadly i was involved in a accident on the way to my second job (right near your house Charlie) Only minor damage to my car, but one of my 19's now needs repairing. I was extremly lucky as the other 3 cars are write offs and i drove away...

Today i pulled the interior apart to fit my black and tan stuff. While i was at it i cleaned out all the drain holes of leaves and crap. I also pulled my guards off and rolled them myself with a rubber mallet :) Hopefully i can spend some more time on the old girl now i don't have to work 2 jobs or weekends.

Awesome! I'll be keen to hear how you find it for drifting, and what mods you do to help it drift. Hope it goes well for u :D

I also have been making some mods for drifting to a JA, just posted a post on it tonight actually...

Would be quite interested to know your thoughts on suspension setup etc for the best drift result

I am taking this car for it last drive today :cry:
Tomorrow it's on a trailer bound for it's new owner.

Don't worry it's still in our Austarion family, and I have a feeling i will own this car again at some time :twisted:

Why am i selling?
Well i own a widey, xr6 turbo, a kombi an a L200 ute. I have crap stored at everyones places, and it's time to trim down and focus on finishing other projects.

I have enjoyed the journey of fixing, and building this into one very quick drift/track car.

You will be missed, and i wished i had a bigger storage unit :(

Not sure what car my dogs going to go in to the rspca charity cruise next year in!

Staying in N.S.W. Thrash.

I may still drive this at "my" event rofl
I probably will take the widey, as it should have the 35/40 on it and be making good power.

It may even go head to head against the new owner :wink:
