Very funny.

Ok, on to this week's issues....What wheel/tire/suspensions are you guys running? We're having a lot of issues with the wheels hitting/rubbing against the frame. I seem to recall other people having similar issues...did anybody figure a way around it or are you just taking wide corners?

Also--since the first wiper blade had been lost during this entire process--we ordered another one and apparently the new wiper arm (not the blade, but the actual metal arm) is making contact with the bottom of the windshield and they're afraid that it will crack the window over time...Maybe my window was just installed funny or something (since the bottom of the window seems to be sticking up pretty high)? Does anybody else have a similar issue?

Thanks-
Mike

Is it the arm fouling the screen or just the spring? You may be able to move the spring slightly, but if it is the arm it looks like the screen may need refitting.

the joys of winter driving-car has sat for 2 weeks fuel pump whining intermittently brakes needed a good bit of braking to become effective and broken emergency door opener-a few things to keep me occupied over xmas when in laws around lol

I am just happy someone is enjoying driving.

I am still waiting for information from MSC or Murtaya NZ so I can get my Certification.

I ditched the door solenoids supplied with the car for some heavier duty ones, they work really well but are a little noisy.

well having had a fiddle as russell said a real ballache job-a technical phrase i think lol but appear to have kocked the solenoid rod so now door will not open via solenoid or cable in boot so only left with screwdriver trick
had a chat t russell -arden door mod puts solenoid/bear catch on door so much easier access and striker bolt on body
garage agreed fuel pump whining so new one ordered
logged into murtaya.nl to see bart's car has been stolen!
