Been seeing a lot of these guys on me morning rides.
I think its to do with the time im going as the days are getting shorter so im closer to sun rise.
I stopped, this guy hung around, probably less than 20 metres away wasnt bothered by me being around!

Workmate shrinking a bearing shell with weld, to remove from abused M86 diff. Try getting this level of service at a franchise!

Nah, franchise or dealer would say it needs a whole new diff and axle assembly.

I stuffed the original post.
This was my Rideshare car recently a late model Toyota Crown.
The Owner wanted to buy a Toyota Century but the later models are hard to buy from outside of Japan.

Hey, Thanks for the effort posting all of those crazy machines.

This LC Torries engine has me stumped though..

<a href='https://postimg.cc/8jYkFfcW' target='_blank'><img src='https://i.postimg.cc/nhFXPvtd/LC-torrie-strange-engine.jpg' border='0' alt='LC-torrie-strange-engine'/></a>

Do you have any other pics or info on it please?
I was initially thinking it was a EA / EB ford six just from the rocker cover, then I realised the plugs and injectors seem to be on the drivers side. So maybe a 2JZ?

If you know please share.

Cheers

I have no idea myself. All I know is there was a number of cars with different engines from other makes. The most common conversion was the LSA or LSX conversions in most of the Holdens there. It would not surprise me if that is a 2JZ conversion though.

A scammer trying to scam a scammer (me).. Yeah good luck with that



I listed a steering wheel online and got a bite, well 2 actually.

The following is the conversation:
sorry in advance if the formatting is sucky...

Is this item still available?ValentinaValentina CasthMessage sentToday at 13:0513:05You sentYes, are you still interested?Today at 13:3413:34ValentinaValentina CasthGood 🙂 Is it possible to send it via AusPost courier? (I have a discount) I will organize the delivery myself, you need to confirm the payment and the courier will pick up 😊 The thing is that I live in Bearii Vic and can't go anywhere because I'm taking care of a one month old baby.You sentSure, just to confirm, you are buying a plain Black leather steering wheel as pictured.. Yeah?ValentinaValentina CasthAs I said above, you will receive the money in your bank account first. Just give me your name and phone number and I will arrange the delivery. I will send you the link and you will receive the money. After the courier will call you and you will arrange a place and time to meet 🙂You sentMy name is Mxxx Bxxx my phone number is 04105xxxxValentinahttps://auspost.5nw231.sbs/receive/order/cx4CrFCCAG6Black leather steering wheel | Australia PostValentinaDone. Paid! You need to confirm receipt of the funds on the AusPost websiteValentinaYou can now rate this personRating your experience with Valentina helps others.ValentinaValentina CasthText me when you're ready 👍You sentThis is what my current bank statement looks like. I'm not interested in following a link to an unknown website. When I log into my bank using my usual method and see the funds, I will continue. Hope you understand my cautiousness, as I have been scammed before. I will be in touch once I see the funds IN my accountValentinaLol what did you write to me? I already paid and you should just get the moneyValentinaValentina CasthYou sentWhat's your phone numberEnd of conversation.

Fun thing is, if you follow the link that was sent to me, as I did, it TOTALLY looks legit, the only problem I had with it was the MOST import links don't work... like the top left Australia Post logo was / is a picture, not a link.
Have a look, the page itself is harmless. It's what YOU DO AFTER clicking on your bank logo icon that things get suss.

Just thought I'd put it out there
