Update July 06 2007

Its about time I did a bit of an update on my wagon, over the last 20 months updates have been few and far between. As we have had a few changes in our lives.
1. the birth of my son Cadel (he is now 20 months old)
2. We have bought our first home.

But Ive finally managed to scrape together a few dollars to spend on BAD 808 (or BAD BOB as some call it)

The first was last year after a badly slipping clutch, the cause being a worn flywheel. The picture below shows the old flywheel on the left and the new one on the right.

The second update is Another front brake upgrade. After putting the previous upgrade on I found that it was not quite good enough to keep up with the rear disks I have on it. So one of the guys on Ausrotary came up with a kit that should do the job.

To make the new brakes work properly a master cylinder upgrade was a must. I went with a Nissan Patrol 1" version. Now Ive just got to find the time to put it on !
