Just do it?
For the past 5yrs I have been driving a bunky (EG Civic with no interior, ac, radio and suspension - unless you count some 14kg coil overs as suspension).
All the spare dollars have gone into building my Ralliart Colt track car Z27AG.
The other day, something went wrong with the Colt (I'm thinking a hole in the piston). I didn't want to look at it...for now.
A week later a Legnum now lives beside it? Bit of a rash decision.
It drove well on the test drive and I was happy. Euphoria, is one hell of a drug.
2 days later the alternator is dead :(
So it begins, two broken cars and a bunky Civic that I can't kill.
I hope the alternator is the worst to come for many years. Over ten years working on cars, this alternator has been the hardest job i've done.
I can pull an engine out quicker.
Most of my journey is available here http://ayu452.blogspot.com.au/
I have yet to upload much on the Regnum to the blog.
But started an album here https://picasaweb.google.com/108332953914491623400/MyRegnum6A13TT?authkey=Gv1sRgCK3m6u6k0rOHvQE
So for now it will be general maintenance, fixing up previous owners dodgy works.
Already re-wired the paddle shifter, adjusting the steering column would cause it to drop out.
The brake discs are some of the worst I have ever seen. No idea how one would get ridges in a brake disc @_@
But yeh, I will update the blog on the items i tackle.
Fuild replacement and small general tasks. Maybe one day a manual conversion + LSD.
