First time working on the car tonight...

[slammed_gtir]

Well what can i say car was a pleasure to work imo
I got a cv boot replaced and new front pads in, brakes are still shit tho theres a bit of vibration and they just dont seem to what to stop the car lol ive read the standard brakes are shit and if this is as good as they get then im saving for brembos lol

One thing was when jacking the car up and finding somewhere to stick an axel stand was a bit of a nightmare only place that looked strong enough was the box section that runs up the car on each side but it doesnt seem too strong as it started to crush in! lol so i ended up sticking the axel stand under one of the anti roll bar rubbers.

Also herd a hissing coming from under the intercooler and ive had a high idle problem, took the intercooler off and there was a split pipe replaced it and the engine idles at just over 1000 rpm which is not right but better then 2000 lol

Cat replacement pipe comes tomorrow looking forward to fitting it.

mine did the same, heres the 'official' jacking points from the manual. You jack it two wheels at a time at the front and rear and put axle stands under the boxes

I always use the wish bone mounts for my stands, I'll say this once though for any other brain donners reading this....

NEVER NEVER EVER USE THE TWO CHASSIS RAILS AS A JACKING POINT YOU DUMB AR5ES......

I think they mean the sills as shown in the picture.

But follow Robs advice as you'll be looking at a pointless repair bill if you dont.

pulsars are not a pleasure to work on. you must have tiny arms and hands cos you cant get more than one hand in most places. i'm sure you'll find this out in due course.
