Re: sydney meet up / lunch run?
I'd be in, but I'm overseas for a couple of months, then full-on with a house move.

Re: I'm alive!
Still trying to sort out a date - likely to be late in November. Because I work weekends, it's a feat to organise a day off!
Hi Michelle! Nice to see a fellow pearlie.

Hey guys. I've been off the radar for a while, trying to get my life in a semblance of order. My wife gave birth to a lovely baby girl, but then her health took a bit of a minor turn (all fine now)...

Re: 5 speed swap dead, need help!!!
Do consider a 6 speed if you think you have the stomach for a re-fab job.
I've driven both, and damn if the 6-speed isn't the most mad thing when you first get it rolling...

Oil Pressure
Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone has drive-tested the oil system in the SVX for pressure:
1- Before/during start

Re: rear sway bar
