[Vic] Workshop Day - 12th of May - @ Tech 1 Auto Care, Ferntree Gully

[snickells]

Yea, it's all on... Better show up you bastards, I'm not sitting here by myself all day!

 

[snickells]

Never did get a list of shit you all want for the day? I'm taking it that your all happy to not need anything at my end then?

 

[Scottie]

Hmmm yeh, pretty right for parts. Really just want to get under my car with a spanner and give it a check over.

Might do oil but if i do i will supply stuff..

You can look at my crotch too..

 

[Scottie]

*Clutch...

Also, do you have drive shaft boots? Wouldn't mind repacking one of my CV's and slipping a new boot on..

 

[snickells]

Nope, dont bother with CV boots with the cost of re-co driveshafts, but we can get some in for you to play with on the day, but you'll need to pull the shafts off the car.

 

[Scottie]

Would like to re-co the shafts but no one can help regarding what CV's to use. Also, i would need to have my car in the driveway up on jack stands which i don't like..

Can you get them re-coed?

 

[PeteGT]

I used CV Centre in Dandenong to rebuild a driveshaft after my little control arm incident.

Re-greased and booted it same day.

 

[Scottie]

Did they rebuild the CV? Did they say it needed special parts or just magna/evo bits?

 

[Guest]

In general a full rebuild costs $80 - $100 a side, but I do not know about our driveshafts in particular. I imagine the high-temp silicone inner boot on the driver's side might be an issue.

I had some CVs done at Action Driveshafts at 38 Dingley Rd Dandenong 9794 6966

I dropped them off on a saturday and they said they needed to order in the CVs. Then I got a call on monday afternoon saying they are done.
New CVs on the outer, new boots, cleaned and looked at to tripod (inner joint) and resprayed for $80 each.

These werent for a vr4 so I was able to grab some from Jollys to drop off. It cost a bit more all up, but we could still use the car on the weekend. Im sure you wont be presented with much of a problem as all they care about is the slines/sizes and lengths. Most stuff are pretty universal.

Take a big enough garbage bag to put them and some gloves/rags to hold them as the paint was still tacky on mine a week later when I put them in.

Rebuilt the existing inner and outer CV's, they got pulled apart when the suspension got broke. Replaced the boots with Magna parts i think.

 

[snickells]

Yea, what Pete said. But I dont think they'll be able to do it on a Saturday so we would have to keep the car for a day or so to get the shafts out there and back.

All possible, and we have a hoist the car can sit on for a few days while it's done Scott.

 

[Scottie]

Sounds good, but how the fek do i get home??

 

[Scottie]

Also, did you get any of those fuel filters? Otherwise i will buy one from Supercrap..

 

[wil]

Where do you live Scott? Im planning to go there early and leave by 10:30 ish. If your done by then and live close by. I can drop you off?

 

[Shamwow]

I can only show up for part of the morning, i wasnt going to do anything with the car anyways.

 

[snickells]

I'll get some in today Scott. Dont stress. Getting home though, our loan car is out, but when it's back we can book your car in and get that shit done dude. Easy done.

 

[Scottie]

Woohoo! Loan car!

Honestly, i cleaned the mofo out and put it back together and it is much smoother, i don't mind waiting but would love a new boot..
