I was just showing my colleague these pics. He just paid $1400 for a major service including new water pump. Pays to do it yourself if you can.

3rd June

well i thought that while the spill tray is off under the car, i might as well order some new sway bars

so off to Whiteline i go, front one came today. Will have to wait till next week for the rear one.

I smacked the front on in just then and wow the difference it makes to the turn in of the car is amazing. I still have it on the "soft" setting. Cant wait for the roads to dry up

10th June

Rear sway bar installed.. Makes the car a lot more flat. With my Koni's turned up full hard and both sway bars on the soft setting the car seems to be very tail happy. I will have to fiddle around with the settings.

Jobs still to do:

Fuel Filter replacement
Reinstall front spill tray

Tommorrows jobs i think

Nice!

Try the front sway on its hardest setting, with the rear on soft. Thats how I have mine, it seems pretty good

No understeer, just a lot less oversteer

4th July Update

Well there is nothing to update..just been enjoying the car

i do have a leaking slave cylinder, a new one turned up the other day so when there is a spare second i shall throw that in along with a new fuel filter...

apart from that give me a week or so and the car may be changing
