7shades Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Went into an auto shop to grab just a clutch disc only to find thats its a discontinued item. The only way to get one is to buy the whole kit.... ^^^ This I have a LWB Suzuki Sierra ute on the farm. Its a rusty bucket of shit, will never see the road again, but its perfect for my property as it fits the firefighting tank & pump in the back, and can squeeze down tracks a normal ute wouldn't fit. It needed a clutch. Can't buy just the disc anymore, had to get a whole kit. $168 later... The whole car only cost me a carton of XXXX Gold! Quote
towe001 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Yeah its frigging stupid. Just how damn hard is it to slip a disc to the side before it gets placed into a bloody box. Man, i couldn't even careless if it was just wrapped in plastic with a part number written on it..... Quote
Kid-Ae Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Itchy eyes. Bugging me so bad, tried eye drops, washing them out with water and i've been dabbing them all day long with moist tissues.. Quote

Trev Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 The only time I will give a customers car a bootfull is when checking boost levels and smooth running at high rpm. 1 Quote
ToasticlesAe82 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 The only time I will give a customers car a bootfull is when checking boost levels and smooth running at high rpm. working with lots of old english sports cars, triumph stags v8's particularly things that are very susceptable to breakage, i find if you give it a bootful without driving like a retard (over-revving, clutch coasting etc like BAD driving) gives you a better feel for what you've done/what you've got to fix if you know what you're looking for :) Quote

Crowie55 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 WGMG: Stupid C&%$s backing out of their driveway into my pops ute (which we are borrowing) dinting it so the door only just closes and not leaving a note. We live in a col-d-sack WTF grr. Happened to my brothers car only 3 or 4 days ago as well. Quote
