So I gather 32s are heaps of work? Never been in one. Would love to go for a drive one day. They handle better then coils I've been told.




Difference is night and day.

They are more work, if neglected especially.

But totally worth it :-)

Not that bad Scott. Only dropped $600-$800 in mine so far.

Most of that was me buying tools to actually work on it. Mine was pretty messy when i bought it.

Now suspension seems to be ok (im lucky) fixed all leaks and engine and now just need to take it to the mech and get him to check out the crank making noise and engine is completely done then ill move onto the interior :-)

Drove it feels amazing.

Ok guys.

Took it to the mechanic today, turns out the crank was fine!

The problem was the vane pump idler pulley. Replaced no more whine odd as i checked it but i guess im not to mechanical :-)

Also replaced the top serpentine belt idler whilst i was replacing stuff.

Zero noise and a nice active to drive!

Cheers for all the help relating to this.

Wanted to add a note a few people have asked me about this pulley lately.

It has a left handed thread. Dont do what my mechanic did and tighten it even more then broke it. Bolt is hard to come by just remember the thread type. This and the top tensioner look to both be the only left handed threaded pulleys i have found
