Hi Guys and Girls how you going im good i finally got around to fixing my 300's exhaust leak i replaced the turbo and manifold gaskets last week after snapping 2 bolts in the head i was reluctant to replace the drivers side manifold gasket but it was worse than the initial problem with the turbo side so i did it to dat i snapped 3 heat sheild bolts and 1 stud in the head.
i went and brought a stud removal kit from snap on it is great cost $180
but dam it's great for removing the bolts in a head while its still in the car.
well my 300 is a work in progress i run a daul stage boost controller(10/15) air pod, 3" exhaust from cat back, a same side intercooler (inlet and outlet R on the same side).i also run a exedy cushioned button clutch and a locked diff Wink

its known as the taxi as it is almost the same orange as the taxi's up here (BRISBANE)
i have one demerit point for a year as i was caught by police doing figure eights one Saturday arvo. (long story a guy in a VL Turbo said my car was shit and did'nt need stocko's on the back as it would not do a burn out anyway cause its so heavy. so i ran rings around him littarelly .
i love that people think my zed is a one-eighty all the time i did'nt mean for this it just looked good in two tone. Razz

well if you maintain the engine and drive line there is really no harm done.
engine failure comes down to neglect. not checking the levels of stuff and thinking ill thix it tomorrow.
but yer i have hade some fun in it and trust me theres still plenty to be had its just time for a change.
and i have no idea where albany is and i wish i had the cash.
as i live in a different state than my dad and he has a blue hr with a white roof but its all stock 30000 original miles so i want to get one cause it will make me think of me dad.
\but ill put a bit of a twist on it well thank you for your feed back and good luck with your zeds.

yer i think so i started it yesterday it ran smooth as and clunked 3 times and then it went away and so did my petrol so it stalled i live in a unit complex and i have the 300 in my carport space. imagine 50 carports all joined together no doors or nothing just a roof.
the cars parked in there with a flat battery and i cant lock it if the powers dead.
what im saying is that i did have 18 liters of premium in it but it just walked away in someone else's jerry can.
if i had a house i would keep it and if it ran i would get it transported to my parents house is SA.
so really if it doesnt sell its ok because ill just send it to my parents as it runs enough to get it on a truck. well i hope.
man the 300 is nice to drive i just sat in it a could'nt help but have a smile on my face.
i dont know what it is but it feels fast just sitting there.
if i send it to my parents it will be fixed up good as my dad builds race engine in SA.
i have his car at the moment got it as a Christmas/birthday present.
its quicker than my 300 but the 300 feels faster its a bit odd.
