Hi folks,

I've been posting and hanging around for a while now, and finally decided I should introduce myself.

I won't go into massive amounts of detail here, but I will direct your to my blog http://rednels.com.

Alright, I give up. What's the "79" refer to?

Can you give us a clue?

Wait, let me guess. :roll:

Is it the 79th car of 250 made for Australia in a limited colour and interior style perhaps?

I took the opportunity to replace the coil pack, ignition leads, and spark plugs today. Job took about 1.5 hours as I took my time explaining the steps, and letting my son help..... http://rednels.com/2011/05/a-bright-spark/

After seeing your blog coilover pics, seems you need to replace your steering ball joint rubbers.

Sure do! On the list once I've tracked down some parts....

Decided to replace a few things this weekend, being the fuel filter, O² narrow-band sensor and the differential axle-shaft seal. The car was sometimes idiling roughly and blowing black smoke when stomped on... so me thinks the O² was original (they only last about 6 or so years). The diff was leaking and you would have noticed this on my photos of the new exhaust system - the smell of burnt diff oil isn't pleasant!
